 FEDERAL
CRIMINAL DEFENSE
For more than 25 years Attorney Nora Milner has successfully defended
clients in courts ranging from U.S. Navy Courts
Martial to Appeals before the U.S. Circuit Courts of
Appeals. In May, 2005 she was awarded her LLM
Degree in Federal Trial Advocacy from California Western
School of Law. Armed with this degree and her
extensive immigration defense experience, she is
dedicated to providing the best representation in federal
court, especially for those individuals who are not
U.S. citizens.
The overlap
between immigration and criminal defense is significant,
and the ability to bridge these two complex areas of
the law enables our firm to not only see the intricacies
of federal criminal defense, but to also carefully and
thoroughly evaluate the immigration consequences of
a criminal conviction for a non-U.S. citizen The
firm maintains a special niche for these offenses most
often associated with aliens:
- Illegal Re-Entry after Deportation
- Alien
Smuggling
- Drug
Offenses
- High
speed border flights
Crimes
of Moral Turpitude: - Embezzlement
- Burglary/Theft
- Shop-lifting
Crimes
of Violence: - Sexual
Assault
- Domestic Violence
- Battery
- Kidnapping
Understanding
the broad immigration consequences of a conviction
for one or more of these offenses for
a non-U.S. citizen client requires a special sensitivity,
knowledge and understanding of the needs of this community
and the ability to see and asses the case from many
angles. Attorney Milner understands that it is
not always in the client's best interests to accept
a plea bargain if that plea results in permanent banishment
from the United States in the form of a deportation.
Fluent
in Spanish, Attorney Milner can communicate confortably
with those clients whose special needs require a Spanish-speaking
attorney. In addition, she is a skilled communicatior
and negotiator who has proven herself to be a staunch
advocate in all arenas of defense while working with clients
from other non-Spanish speaking communities.
