MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The law firm of Cuprys and Associates announced that immigration attorney Magdalena Cuprys succeeded in terminating the immigration proceedings against her client A.V.P. A.V.P. is a 62-year-old Cuban citizen who has been a permanent resident of the U.S. for more than 10 years. In 2009, after consulting with his then-criminal attorney, he pled guilty to cannabis-related offenses, and was sentenced to probation. A.V.P. was unaware that this plea could put him in removal (deportation) proceedings. He was arrested by immigration officers in 2017.

First, attorney Magdalena Cuprys filed a Motion to Vacate Judgment and Sentence in Circuit Court. Ms. Cuprys argued that A.V.P. did not understand that his guilty plea, pursuant to his then-attorney’s advice, could result in removal proceedings. Also, A.V.P. was not properly informed that he qualified for alternative programs, such as drug court. The result was that A.V.P. received only ineffective assistance of counsel. In August 2018, based on that motion, the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (Miami Dade County) vacated A.V.P.’s conviction. Immigration lawyer Magdalena Cuprys thereafter succeeded with a motion to reopen and terminate the removal proceedings in Immigration Court.

Ms. Cuprys stated that “We all are very relieved by the result of these court proceedings. A.V.P. suffers from poor health, and continued detention or removal to Cuba would have certainly aggravated his health issues.”

The underlying case is “In the Matter of: A.V.P.,” Case Number A079-750-623, Immigration Court, Miami, Florida.
