Investigations, Trials & Appeals

Although U.S. attorneys can’t practice abroad, they have many resources to deal with international arrests. These attorneys can work on all aspects of the arrest in conjunction with foreign counsel. They make sure all the specifics of your case are handled and explained properly to international authorities.
