white collar and Property crimes

White collar crimes are often viewed as less serious than other types of crimes, but they often carry heavy penalties. These includes both fines, restitution leading to severe financial strain and hardship, as well as jail time. If you’ve been charged with a financial crime or white-collar offense and need help give Mr. Diver a call about any of the following types of cases: investment fraud, computer and internet fraud, Insurance fraud, embezzlement, forgery and others.

There are several ways to classify crimes: felony or misdemeanor, for example, or violent or nonviolent offenses. Another way to distinguish between criminal offenses is to designate them as crimes against the person—often violent crimes—or crimes against property.

Federal and State Appeal, Expungements, and Sentence Modifications

Federal and State appeals, application for post-conviction relief, and preparing petitions for Writ of Habeas Corpus is a complex legal process that requires the utmost diligence and care. Premature filings destroy possible avenues of relief and missed claims can fatally impair an otherwise viable petition for relief. In order to combat this, Mr. Diver will provide a thorough case review to fully understand claims of actual innocence and/or grounds for relief. 

Expungement, or expunction, is the process whereby your criminal record is "cleared" or sealed from public view. Once you've completed a deferred sentence or served your sentence for a crime, you have paid your dues required by law and should not face public scrutiny for past offenses. A criminal record can often times keep you from moving on and even enjoying some rights and privileges you once had. If you're ready to leave the past behind you, filing a petition for expungement of your record, sentence modification, pardon, or commutation can give you a fresh start at life after crime.

state and federal criminal defense

Outside of television dramas, the criminal justice system may not be familiar to you. In real life it’s complicated and confusing. Criminal convictions can have long term consequences, which is why hiring a competent attorney is important.

Individuals who are not U.S. citizens have unique considerations when facing criminal charges. Those individuals have potential consequences to their statuses in the United States, and therefore it is very important to have an attorney who can advocate on the basis of understanding criminal consequences as well as immigration consequences.

If you enjoy some immigration benefit and have been charged with a crime, contact Diver Law Firm today. We will guide you through the process, help you understand how it all works and what to expect, and most importantly work for the best possible outcome for you.

immigrant visa or permanent residency

In general, a person who wishes to immigrate to the United States must have a petition approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before applying for an immigrant/permanent visa. The petition is filed either by a qualified relative or a potential employer at a USCIS office in the United States.

Lawful permanent residency allows for a foreign national to work and live lawfully and permanently in the United States. Lawful permanent residents are also eligible to apply for nearly all jobs and can remain in the United States even if they are unemployed. After a permanent visa petition is approved, the adjustment of status process to the EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3/PERM applications is an incredibly complex and even invasively undertaking task. If you or your employer wish to seek lawful permanent residency based on any one of the eligibility categories found here, contact Diver Law Firm to discuss proven strategies to navigate the Department of Labor and USCIS.
