Practice Areas
Criminal Defense
Smith Debnam provides services and counseling on a wide range of state and federal criminal matters, including firearms, drug/narcotic offenses, domestic violence, DWI, and traffic issues.
Our firm also emphasizes the representation of immigration clients in criminal matters. A conviction can have a devastating impact on immigration status, and even “minor” charges can result in deportation. The criminal defense of foreign nationals must be handled with a thorough understanding of both immigration and criminal law.
Further, because local law enforcement entities now work with immigration officials, more and more foreign nationals find themselves detained and in removal proceedings. Smith Debnam is experienced with detention, bond, habeas corpus, post-conviction relief, and related deportation matters.
