Facing international criminal charges can be overwhelming because laws vary widely from country to country, so allegations are often confusing and frightening. You must enlist a qualified international criminal defense attorney to protect your rights.

You must know what to do next if you have been charged with a crime in a foreign country. You may have questions when it comes to obtaining legal representation. For example, should you use your current attorney? What is an international criminal lawyer, and do I need one? What happens if I am brought to trial without the chance to have my lawyer? Can I appeal? 

The Schaffer, Carter, Kennedy, and Mays team in Houston, TX, are experienced international criminal lawyers who can answer your global criminal defense questions.

INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS, TRIALS, & APPEALS

Suppose you or a loved one is facing an investigation or charges in a foreign country. In that case, you need someone who understands international law and is experienced in their investigation and court proceedings. Our lawyers spend time abroad and are well-versed in foreign laws and practices. We have relationships with officials and counsel in other countries and are uniquely qualified to provide legal representation for United States citizens facing charges in foreign countries. 

Because of the unique circumstances, an international criminal lawyer is the best option. If you or your loved one has already been charged and sentenced, you need qualified international criminal lawyers to handle your appeals process.

Too often, plaintiffs charged with international crimes must receive a fair trial. This is due to factors such as incompetent defense, errors, improper proceedings, failure to provide all witnesses or evidence, and other causes. It is essential to have a legal team that has the experience, knowledge, and tenacity to appeal your case and win. 

CRIMINAL CHARGES IN FOREIGN COURTS

You must have experienced legal representation when facing charges in foreign courts. Not all U.S. attorneys are familiar with foreign laws and court proceedings. Going through criminal charges and trial proceedings in a foreign country is intimidating. You need lawyers you can trust who will fight hard for you and know precisely what they are dealing with. 

INTERNATIONAL EXTRADITION LAW

International extradition law is difficult to navigate if you are not a lawyer specializing in global criminal defense. In the event of an attempted extradition, you need experienced representation who can help you fight.

POST-CONVICTION ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW CASES

Post-conviction issues in international criminal law cases in Florida may include appeals, Habeas Corpus petitions, prisoner transfer treaties, and extradition. Experienced lawyers can guide clients to navigate these complex legal procedures.

U.S. PROSECUTION FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIMES

In the United States, international crimes are handled by the Department of Justice (DOJ). In addition, other departments, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), may get involved. 

If you face charges in the United States and are from another country, the process can be intimidating and overwhelming. Our defense attorneys can help you navigate the U.S. court process and get you results.
