About

My practice focuses on immigration and criminal matters.  I provide a full spectrum of immigration-related services including immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, green card applications, and naturalization.  With respect to criminal law, having previously worked as an Assistant District Attorney I am able to put to use the invaluable experience I gained representing the government to work exclusively for clients charged with a myriad of crimes in both state and federal courts, including DUI, theft, drug related offenses, white collar and violent crimes.Regarding the interplay between immigration and criminal law, in 2010, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky that criminal defense attorneys must advise noncitizen clients about any potential immigration-related issues that may result from a plea or adverse verdict.  Since then, I have successfully advised various immigration related clients who have been charged with criminal offenses on the effects of potential pleas or verdicts to their immigration status.  For example, I obtained a not guilty verdict in front of jury in a case where a legal permanent resident client was charged with criminal offenses that had the client been convicted of he would have been placed in removal proceedings.

Mr Wymard was reasonably priced and a straight shooter. He evaluated my criminal case and based on his experience both as a prosecutor and defense attorney he was able to tell me exactly how things would play out. His confidence put me at ease and the case resolved just as he said it would. I would highly recommend Mr. Wymard if you have any criminal issues.

I reached out to Mr Wymard shortly after getting into trouble with a friend. Mr Wymard assured me that while the charges were "trumped up," there was still some risk to the case against me. After reviewing all of the facts and speaking to several witnessed, I was assured that we would have good chances in a trial. While I was still nervous about the situation and the impact it could have on my life, Mr Wymard's confidence made me feel better about the imminent proceedings. To my surprise, my attorney had been working in the background to have the case thrown out, and he did! While this was certainly one of the scarier times in my life, I now look back at it as a learning experience, and nothing more. Thanks Francis!

I did not talk to Lawyer Francis Dacey Wymard but he answered my question about my N400 and I was very satisfied with the answer, so I decided to mail my revised N-400 to the National Benefits Center for my N400 be revised. I did mail my revised N400 using USPS certified mail with return receipt and I also included all the valid documentations from the correct state agencies.

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Wymard recommended to me by a friend. He got a great result for me in my criminal case that kept me from going to jail. From day one, Mr. Wymard proved to be smart, was well-prepared, and detail oriented. He fought with the District Attorney's office to get what he wanted, just like he told me he would. I can't recommend Mr. Wymard enough.
