Robert Maher - New York Lawyer

Robert J. Maher, serving as counsel at Saland Law PC, aids clients in navigating the complexities that arise when New York State criminal law intersects with Federal immigration laws. Understanding the implications of a New York State or Federal criminal conviction on an individual’s immigration status in the United States can determine whether one faces the repercussions of a criminal arrest or potentially confronts expulsion from the country. The stakes are undeniably high, and the consequences of making an incorrect decision can be severe. Being permanently barred from the United States without the chance of reentry is a grim outcome for many individuals accused of and subsequently convicted of a crime. This underscores the critical importance of seeking competent legal counsel from an immigration attorney if you are not a citizen and have been detained for what might appear to be a minor offense. In the realm of ICE and immigration law, there are no insignificant offenses. In reality, the immigration ramifications of specific criminal convictions in New York can be devastating, resulting in consequences far more severe than the actual state law conviction itself. Robert Maher is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), an organization committed to ensuring that immigration practitioners collaborate to deliver optimal outcomes for their clients. He is a graduate of St. John’s University Law School and has focused on immigration law for the past decade.
