We consistently emphasize that we can achieve the most favorable results for our clients with the benefit of time, meaning we want to work with clients as far as possible before they reach crisis mode. We know, however, that there is a general resistance to taking action.

If the defendant’s attorney fails to inform the defendant of such consequences, the defendant may have grounds to move to have the plea vacated.

The Padilla decision was a narrow ruling that left many issues unresolved. It was the state courts, facing a growing number of applications...
