Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Pozo Goldstein?

If you are a non-citizen facing any criminal charge, the most dangerous thing you can do is hire a criminal defense lawyer who does not understand immigration law. A misdemeanor plea that seems harmless in state court can be a deportation order. Pozo Goldstein is built around this overlap — a former Miami-Dade County judge and two former immigration prosecutors with more than 90 years of combined experience. They handle business and family immigration, asylum, deportation defense, post-conviction relief to undo immigration-damaging plea deals, and direct criminal defense for non-citizens. For employers, individuals, and families navigating both systems, this is one of the deepest combined-experience firms in the city.

"ICE put my husband in detention. Pozo Goldstein got him bond, fought the removal, and won cancellation of removal. Eight years later he is still here with our kids."

Crimmigration · Miami
★★★★★
"I had a 12-year-old plea that was suddenly causing immigration problems. Steven Goldstein vacated it through post-conviction relief and saved my green card. No other firm I called even understood what I was asking."
Client Camila R.

Asylum · Doral
★★★★★
"Fled political persecution in Venezuela. The firm walked me through the asylum process, prepared me for the credible fear interview, and presented evidence I never would have thought to gather. Granted on first hearing."

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

What is "crimmigration"?
Crimmigration is the overlap between criminal law and immigration law. A criminal conviction — sometimes even a guilty plea to a misdemeanor — can trigger deportation, denial of citizenship, or refusal to readmit a non-citizen returning from travel. A lawyer experienced in both is essential before any non-citizen pleads to anything.
Do you take cases nationwide?
Federal immigration matters — deportation defense, federal court immigration appeals, asylum — can be handled nationwide because immigration is federal law. Criminal matters require local counsel in the state of the charge; the firm has Miami coverage and coordinates with co-counsel elsewhere.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost?
Flat fees vary by case type. Family-based green cards typically run $2,500 to $5,000 in attorney fees plus government filing fees. Naturalization is often $1,500 to $3,000. Asylum and removal defense are quoted based on complexity and stage.
What is post-conviction relief?
Post-conviction relief is a procedure to undo a prior criminal conviction or plea that was obtained in violation of constitutional rights — for example, when defense counsel did not warn the defendant about immigration consequences. A successful PCR can restore immigration status.
Will I work with one of the senior partners?
Yes. Each case is led by either Ada Pozo, Steven Goldstein, or one of the firm's senior counsel. Paralegals and case staff support, but legal strategy is partner-led.
