Another win for the Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner, APC: Person just granted adjustment of status. It turns out that our client has two criminal charges in his record [I don’t know if the office was aware of this]- the client denied any criminal past on multiple occassions and upon the officer’s insistence he first admitted to being arrested for a Domestic Violence dispute in Torrance and, upon further insistence by the officer, who specifically asked if anything transpired in FL, he then admitted that he also had an issue (not sure if assault) in FL. The officer gave us the case number for the FL incident 102-883 12/13/98 and requested certified copy of the disposition of both incidents (client later told me he believes he was given 1 year probation for the DV but is not sure and that he never mentioned the FL incident because the judge told him it was dismissed).
