Padilla Advisor – Streamline Immigration Consequences Advice for Non-Citizen Clients
The Padilla Advisor app is an essential tool for criminal defense attorneys who represent non-U.S. citizen clients. As required by Padilla v. Kentucky, attorneys must inform clients of the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. The Padilla Advisor app helps streamline this process by generating draft warnings and advice based on current legal research, making it easier for attorneys to provide accurate, concise, and clear guidance to their clients.
Key Features:
DRAFT Padilla Warnings: The app generates draft statements regarding the immigration consequences of specific charges and convictions, such as Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMTs), aggravated felonies, and other serious crimes. These drafts help attorneys deliver important warnings to clients, highlighting the risks of deportation or other immigration-related consequences.
User-Friendly Interface: With clear prompts and options, attorneys can quickly input case details and generate draft Padilla statements for different criminal charges. The app allows for easy navigation, helping attorneys efficiently create advisories during client consultations.
Comprehensive Legal Guidance: Padilla Advisor includes considerations for various forms of immigration relief, such as cancellation of removal and defenses under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). These insights help attorneys ensure they are offering clients a full range of potential outcomes and defenses.
Copy and Edit Draft Text: Once the app generates a draft statement, you can copy the text and edit it as needed. This allows for customization to better fit your client’s unique situation and legal standing.
Clear Disclaimers: The app ensures that all generated Padilla warnings and advice are clearly labeled as drafts. It is the attorney’s responsibility to verify and refine these drafts based on the most up-to-date legal research and the specifics of the client’s case. The app serves as a tool to guide the attorney’s research and case analysis but does not replace individualized legal counsel.
