Florida Criminal Defense for Immigration Fraud Charges
Facing criminal charges of immigration fraud in Florida can be overwhelming and life-changing. These cases are aggressively prosecuted at both the state and federal level, and a conviction can lead not only to prison time and heavy fines but also to devastating immigration consequences. When the stakes are this high, you need a seasoned criminal defense lawyer who knows how to fight for your rights.
At Van Riper & Nies Attorneys, attorney Christian Van Riper, a former prosecutor, brings unmatched experience and tenacity to the defense of clients accused of immigration fraud. Known for his courtroom skills and accessibility to his clients, Christian provides strong, hands-on representation from the first consultation to the resolution of the case.
What Is Immigration Fraud?
Immigration fraud charges cover a wide range of allegations, including:
- Submitting false documents or information in immigration applications.
- Marriage fraud (entering into a sham marriage to gain immigration benefits).
- Identity theft in connection with immigration status.
- Misrepresentation to U.S. immigration authorities.
Prosecutors often pursue these cases with vigor, making it essential to have a criminal defense lawyer who understands both the law and the practical realities of trial practice.
Our Defense Approach to Immigration Fraud
As a former prosecutor, Christian Van Riper has a deep understanding of how the State and federal government build immigration fraud cases. He uses that knowledge to challenge the evidence and protect his clients. Defense strategies may include:
- Questioning whether alleged misrepresentations were intentional or material.
- Challenging the credibility of government witnesses.
- Exposing weaknesses in the government’s documentation or investigative methods.
