Praise
"Criminal Defense of Immigrants provides an amazingly comprehensive and useful resource for our staff attorneys who work daily in detention centers in Arizona under severe time and resource constraints. We would not be able to fully meet the needs of Arizona's detained immigrants and refugees without it."
- Lindsay N. Marshall, Acting Executive Director, Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project
Justice Stevens, in a recent United States Supreme Court decision, described N. Tooby, CRIMINAL DEFENSE OF IMMIGRANTS (2003) as an "authoritative treatise" in support of the proposition that: "The weight of prevailing professional norms supports the view that counsel must advise her client regarding the risk of deportation."
Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S.130 S. CT.1473 (2010).
