need_help888 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I am charged with a grand larceny in VA (shop lift) for taking $400 worth of goods. I need help in finding a good criminal lawyer, I have court appearance soon, please advise what option do I have and if this would be a issues for my citizenship, I am on a greencard. I have family and kids and has never done anything like this before. This mistake has put me and my family in a bad situation. Please help. Link to comment
t75 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Call your local Bar Association for a referral. Yes, this will affect your citizenship application. Don't plan on filing any time soon. I hope you have a lot of spare money since you are going to be paying a lot to both criminal and immigration attorneys in the future. Link to comment
Joe.F Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 This could have an effect on your GC... Forget naturalization, think about the GC. Shoplifting is a CIMT. You need to discuss this with a good criminal lawyer AND a good immigration lawyer. Link to comment
