Q: Should I tell my Florida lawyer I am not a U.S. citizen?

A: It is very important to disclose to your attorney that you are not a U.S. citizen.  An attorney should ask you before you enter a plea to a criminal charge but a proactive client should disclose this as soon as possible.  Depending on the type of charge, a change in your plea in Florida to guilty or no contest could subject you to deportation proceedings.  Florida criminal defense attorney’s must advise their client of immigration consequences.
