Two class c misdemeanors and daca consequences?
4 attorney answers
Get the charges handled by pretrial diversion or suspended disposition, so that your record can be expunged before sending in the DACA documents. You will probably need a lawyer to help you with this. Also, I urge you to post this question in the Immigration law forum for the opinion of an immigration attorney. Best of Luck!

What do you recommend I do.
You need to hire both good criminal and immigration lawyer and let them talk. Why because a criminal attorney may not see the potential problematic consequences otherwise good disposition would bring. Example: Expungement does not work in immigraiton context as it is ignored by federal government and the convictions is still counted for immigraiton law purposes. Any frug related offense would be a kiss of death for any future immigration benefit including DACA. Hence, you need a criminal lawyer to deal with the charges and immigration lawyer to watch for immigration consequences.
