Padilla and Virginia -- we're looking for a good case! Do you have one?
In immigration related matters, the controlling case is Padilla v. Kentucky. This case indicated that if the judge did not review the immigration consequences of a plea, and further that the defense attorney did not advise the defendant of the impact a plea may have on him immigration status, that the case should be re-opened. This process is collectively known as "post-conviction relief."
