The simple accusation of a crime in the domestic violence setting, in and of itself, will not affect your immigration status, unless someone listens to it. Chances are, if someone's claiming it, somebody's listening to it. And it's usually a court, a police officer, and down the road, a prosecutor. So technically, no. Realisitically, yes. I'm Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, MA. I have 25 years of experience. If you're in trouble and you need someone in your corner who cares and will fight for you, give me a call.
