Hello. If you are not presently a citizen, you must have detailed legal counsel prior to pleading guilty to a crime. The attorney needs to inform you of risk of deportation and how the conviction may otherwise affect your ability to become a citizen. If you are facing such an issue in your own life, you need attorney representation.
Some attorneys, myself included, will confer for free, at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys, myself included, will provide a reduced fee for need. All the best
