This Stolen Green Card Story is for the Books

Dummit Fradin immigration attorney, Devon Senges, recently helped a young Venezuelan woman restore her stolen green card. However, the young woman's story is a bit more complicated than her simply misplacing it. Learn how she was able to recover her stolen green card with the help of our determined immigration attorney. In 2011, a high school student in Venezuela received her United States residency. She moved to the U.S. to live with her father who was already a U.S. citizen. After finishing high school in the U.S., she couldn't decide on what her next step would be. Around that time, her uncle back in Venezuela was sick and her aunt was struggling to care for him. So, in February 2013 the recent grad decided to travel to Venezuela. The plan was to help her aunt care for her uncle until she figured out her next move in life. [...]

Unjust Drug Trafficking Charges To Be Dismissed

Our client was facing several felony drug charges including drug trafficking charges in heroin and opium. Under that charge alone, she was up against a mandatory 18-year minimum prison sentence. But, she was likely facing a 22-year prison sentence if convicted. Her bond was set at 1.5 million dollars. Learn how our attorney was able to get the drug trafficking charges dismissed. Getting the Drug Trafficking Charges Dismissed Upon accepting the case, our criminal defense attorney in Greensboro got to work right away. After in-depth research, our attorney came across legislative updates that made it clear that our client was improperly charged with trafficking. At maximum, she should have been charged with Possession with Intent to Sell a Controlled (schedule II) Substance. Our attorney made this argument at a bond hearing and successfully reduced our client's bond from 1.5 million down to $100k. The judge even commented from the bench [...]

Aunt Wins Child Custody in Guilford County

Our client is the paternal aunt of two young children in Guilford County. She approached our family law team in Greensboro for help in getting full legal and physical child custody of the two children. As a third-party intervenor, she faced many challenges in this third party custody case. Despite these challenges, our experienced family attorney helped her devise a winning strategy. A History of Unstable Living Conditions Previously, a judge declared the children's mother an unfit parent as she has pending felony child abuse charges in criminal court. The father was violating a prior custody order by allowing the mother unlimited and unsupervised access to the minor children. Additionally, the father suffers from substance abuse and addiction, leaving him unable to care for the children. Meanwhile, the aunt is a military veteran with a safe, stable lifestyle and home. She has a loving, supportive relationship with the [...]

Contempt Hearings for Child Support & Custody a Success

One of our Dummit Fradin family law attorneys recently won two Contempt hearings against the same father – one in custody court and one in child support court. Child Support Contempt Hearing In the child support matter, [the attorney] won the Show Cause Motion by showing that the father had not paid any of the ordered child support while having the ability to pay it. Additionally, she asked the court to use his “bad faith” behavior at a past high-earning job to impute his income for calculating child support. [The attorney] submitted evidence to show the father had acted in a manner that would foreseeably result in his termination from employment, and embezzlement.  Indeed, he was fired from the lucrative job.  When he got a new job, it paid significantly less.  His entirely predictable demotion showed that he acted with conscious disregard for his obligation to support his [...]

Immigration Case Expedited for Urgent Humanitarian Reasons

Our bilingual immigration attorney in Greensboro, Devon Senges, helped a local woman get an expedited immigration process for “urgent humanitarian reasons”. We usually see these expedited processes granted in cases such as a dying spouse with a week to live. Except, in this case, there was no dying spouse. The woman was stuck in Mexico and separated from her husband and children. Devon Senges learned that the woman needing entry to our country was a beloved member of a large church in Pinehurst. The other members of the church were distraught to hear of the immigration roadblock faced by this family. Our Greensboro immigration attorney thought of a plan and orchestrated it beautifully. She provided the pastor of the church with a letter, and specific instructions for the interested church members to sign and provide a copy of their photo ID. Hundreds joined the cause, and the [...]

1 Year Later, Husband is Approved for Green Card Interview

With the help of immigration attorney Devon Senges, a North Carolina couple recently had their immigrant visa application approved in Ciudad Juarez. After a successful green card interview, or adjustment of status interview, the husband is now approved for legal permanent residency in the United States. The husband is a national of Mexico who has been living undocumented in the United States for over fifteen years. His wife, a United States Citizen, was his petitioner. And they are proud parents of three U.S. Citizen children. The Green Card Interview Process The couple started the residency process in 2016. As part of the process, they were required to apply for a forgiveness waiver before they could apply for residency. Forgiveness waivers are required when immigrants enter the country without inspection. Unfortunately, right now there is a severe backlog in immigrant visa applications at the American consulate in Ciudad Juarez. [...]

Recently, Dummit Fradin used this cross-disciplinary approach to help a client with multiple misdemeanor charges maintain his path to citizenship.   Previous Family Law Issues at Hand Initially, the client approached our Family Law division due to an impending 50-B domestic violence action taken out by his ex-wife. The 50-B would have prohibited our client from seeing his young son, and that was unacceptable to him. With the [...]

Victory – Child Custody Modification

A Dummit Fradin family law attorney in Greensboro was successful in arguing a child custody modification/ relocation case, in which her client wanted to relocate to Florida with the parties’ five minor children. The family attorney successfully argued that due to the strong bond between the children and their mother, extended family available as support in Florida and a past history of domestic violence between the parents, it was in the best interest of the children to live in Florida with their mother rather than in North Carolina, where they have lived most of their lives.
