On February 2, 2026, Ehrenworth Law, PLLC received a powerful reminder of why we do this work: a client’s future, freedom, and family can hinge on the outcome of a single criminal case.
In this recent felony criminal defense matter, our client faced a Class 6 felony and a Class 1 misdemeanor. On top of that, a conviction carried the risk of deportation. The stakes could not have been higher, and every decision in the case mattered.
A Client Facing Felony Charges & Deportation
Felony charges and immigration concerns create a heavy burden for any person. Our client came to Ehrenworth Law, PLLC in that exact situation, knowing that a misstep in court could affect criminal penalties and the right to remain in the country.
Attorney Scott Ehrenworth drew on his background as a former prosecutor to evaluate how the opposing side might build and present the case. That prosecutorial experience informed each step, from reviewing the charges to preparing for the hearings.
Dedication, Communication, & Dismissed Charges
Throughout the matter, our client received consistent guidance and open lines of communication, including the ability to reach out beyond standard office hours. That access helped the client understand the process, make informed decisions, and stay engaged with the defense strategy.
Both the Class 6 felony and the Class 1 misdemeanor were ultimately dismissed, and the deportation risk resolved. The client chose to share the experience in their own words:
"First, I want to thank the best lawyer, Mr. Ehrenworth, a very professional, attentive, dedicated, and committed attorney. I was facing 2 charges: a Class 6 felony and Class 1 misdemeanor. Both charges were dismissed. Mr. Ehrenworth is a very caring and concerned lawyer that cares about his clients. He could be contacted at any time of the day. I also ran the risk of being deported from the country, but all of that was resolved thanks to the best lawyer."
