Q: When convicted of misdemeanor in georgia can you be deported if legal/
A: It depends on what your criminal history looks like, and also depends on the crime, and what date you entered, and how you entered. One "small crime" may not get you deported, but if you have multiple, that makes it more likely you may be deported. More details definitely help. I would note that what the state regards as a "misdemeanor" may not how immigration classifies it. So, the details matter. It is best to coordinate with an immigration attorney and your criminal attorney prior to working out your plea with a prosecutor. They may take adverse immigration consequences into account when deciding on the appropriateness of your plea. Hope that helps. Good luck. Rodney Alberto, Esq. 732-200-0779
