  • Crimmigration- Jon's Former Law Partner Jay Marks on Avoiding Conviction Landmines for Immigration Status
    May 8 2024

    What do hugging, speaking multiple languages, and lifting up legal clients have to do with beating the prosecution? Listen to Fairfax, Northern Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz and his former decade-long law partner Jay Marks (https://marksjustice.com - immigration lawyer) addressing the power of our joining forces together as people's lawyers, and continuing as people's lawyers. We talk about "crimmigration" -- reducing adverse immigration exposure from criminal prosecutions (starting from the ideal of winning in the first place) -- and about the greatness of the immigrant community and the injustice when anyone tries to marginalize them. "You can't judge a person by the worst day in their life," wisely repeats Jay. The years-long positive energy between Jay and Jon may be infectious for you.
