The client, a 32 year old College graduate and Green Card holder, was arrested after allegedly pushing his wife of two months into a wall, hired Boston Criminal Defense Attorney Steven J. Topazio to represent him. Boston Criminal Lawyer Topazio met with his client and his new wife after she dropped the Restraining Order she obtained against him. Boston Criminal Attorney pointed out to his new client that any conviction, even an admission to sufficient facts, under Federal law would be considered a crime of moral turpitude which could subject his client to immigration consequences. A Green card is the name given to the US Permanent Resident Card. Foreigners who hold such an identification card are legal residents of the US and eligible for employment. Boston Domestic Violence Attorney Topazio obtained a copy of his client’s marriage certificate to establish that his client was married. Today, Massachusetts Criminal Lawyer Topazio presented the documentation when his client’s wife exerted her marital privilege not to testify and despite the Commonwealth’s objection, persuaded the Court to dismiss all charges against his client.
