Denaturalization Defense

Facing Proceedings to Revoke Your U.S. Citizenship?
Denaturalization is the process by which the government seeks to strip an individual of their U.S. citizenship, typically alleging fraud, falsehoods or concealment during the naturalization process. These cases can arise in both civil and criminal contexts—and often unfold many years after you’ve claimed citizenship.

Why Choose PIC Law for Denaturalization Defense

Our team at Palladino, Isbell & Casazza brings deep experience defending citizens in legal actions seeking to revoke their status. We:

• Handle both civil denaturalization actions (filed by the DOJ or OLC in federal court) and criminal prosecutions under 18 U.S.C. § 1425, § 1426.
  
• Build strong factual defenses by reviewing your naturalization path, including N‑400 filings, interview records, and background checks.
  
• Challenge government allegations of misrepresentation, non-disclosure, or criminal conduct—especially in cases involving war crimes, terrorism, or national security claims.
  
• Coordinate closely with immigration courts, federal prosecutors, and district courts to represent your interests effectively at every step.

What to Expect in Denaturalization Proceedings

1. Notice of Denaturalization/Criminal Charges
   You’ll receive a formal notification—either a civil complaint or criminal information. 
2. Court Hearings & Discovery
   As your attorneys, we will demand disclosure of government records, cross-examine witnesses, and bring in expert testimony when necessary.
3. Legal & Evidentiary Strategy
   We may petition to dismiss or delay proceedings, argue procedural violations, question past representations or raise constitutional claims. In criminal cases, we analyze plea vs. trial options and sentencing exposure.
4. Appeals & Post-Judgment Remedies
   If the case goes against you, we will pursue appeals in federal circuit courts and explore post-conviction relief if criminal charges are involved.

You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

• Honest, Strategic Counsel: We discuss every potential defense—whether it’s misunderstanding of questions, lack of intent, or legitimate legal interpretation.
  
• Comprehensive Documentation Review: We scrutinize your naturalization file, FBI and USCIS records, and any Alleged government evidence.
  
• Dedicated Courtroom & Appellate Advocacy: Our Attorneys appear in federal court and work hand–in–glove with due process experts.
