He has also accomplished extraordinary results in cases where clients were prejudiced by ineffective assistance of their prior immigration counsel. Mr. King’s expertise in Immigration Law has also made him a ‘go-to’ source for criminal-defense attorneys seeking advice on immigration consequences of potential criminal convictions faced by their non-citizen clients.
