Matter of Angelina N.
Jan 16, 2008OUTCOME: Motion to Terminate Granted
In a remarkable removal defense case recently decided involving a lawful permanent resident in the San Francisco Immigration Court, Mr. Eckdish was able to obtain post conviction relief by marshalling ... the resources of three (3) criminal defense lawyers in three (3) different states (New York, Illinois & Nevada) to obtain post conviction relief involving three different criminal convictions in each of those states. In working with each of the criminal defense attorneys in each state (who knew very little about immigration law), Mr. Eckdish was nevertheless, able to guide them using immigration and constitutional law principles to have each conviction vacated or modified so that they could no longer be used to deport his client in the San Francisco Immigration Court. As a result, Mr. Eckdish filed a Motion to Terminate the removal proceedings that was granted by the Immigration Judge in San Francisco.
