So your client is being deported? (ADLA Seminar) – presented by Tom Foran, Immigration Lawyer

Each year, lawyers from across Australia come together for the Australian Defence Lawyers Alliance (ADLA) conference to share resources and knowledge specific to the practice of criminal law. The final speaker of this year's conference was Tom Foran from our hosts Potts Lawyers in Queensland. As well as being a leading Australian immigration lawyer and award-winning teacher, Tom is a highly engaging and charismatic speaker.

As Tom explained, when someone is convicted of a criminal offence, it may be the case that their visa is subject to cancellation. If this happens, they will be given the opportunity to re-apply for a visa. If unsuccessful, they will be removed from Australia. This makes issues around visa cancellation very important for many of our clients at Doogue + George.
