Petty Theft Exception for Illegal Immigrant

Petty Offense Exception Excuses a Crime

Best Immigration Lawyers in California

Boyfriend plead guilty to one charge of theft under $100. Maximum sentence is less than one year in MD I believe. He is an illegal immigrant with no papers of any kind.

Would it be possible for him to get the petty theft exception or is it pretty much a lost cause. ICE is picking him up from the jail and then I’m not sure what will happen after that. Will he need another lawyer?
