Deportable Crimes for Immigrants
to the United States

2. Introduction
 As a privately practicing attorney in Los Angeles,
California, Eduardo Paredes focuses on criminal and
immigration law. For not citizens, Eduardo Paredes has
represented a number of clients whose criminal
convictions affect their immigration status and has
successfully obtained relief allowing people with criminal
convictions remain in the United States.
If an immigrant to the United States commits an
aggravated felony or what is known as a “crime of moral
turpitude,” that individual may face deportation. The term
“aggravated felony” is a general term that includes a
variety of offenses that carry serious consequences related
to an individual's immigration status. In fact, the term
aggravated felony is also applicable in federal criminal law
where an offense deemed to be an aggravated felony by
the United States Congress carries a heftier prison
sentence for individuals convicted of a crime designated to
be an aggravated felony.

3. Deportable Crimes
 Attorney Eduardo Paredes has championed for clients
in state criminal court as well as in U.S Immigration
Court as well as the U.S. District Court to defend the
accused against criminal charges as well as
defending non-citizens from removal (deportation)
from the United States.
Similarly, “crimes of moral turpitude” do not
unilaterally share any particular characteristic, though
the U.S. Department of State does note that they
typically entail dishonesty, theft, or a desire to harm. A
crime of moral turpitude is a removable offense that
can trigger an alien's deportation from the United
States. Attorney Eduardo Paredes has mastered his
skills to obtain successful results in criminal courts in
order to avoid the severe immigration consequences
of a conviction.
