Client faced deportation and denial of naturalization due to a prior Penal Code 288 conviction where immigration consequences were not properly explained during the plea process. The Nieves Law Firm filed a motion to vacate under PC 1016.5 and 1473.7, demonstrating inadequate advisement of immigration consequences. Rather than pursuing a complete vacatur and retrial, we negotiated an immigration-safe resentencing that allowed the client to cancel deportation proceedings and secure immediate release from ICE detention, reuniting them with their family while preserving their ability to pursue naturalization.
