Investigations, trials, and appeals

• International criminal charges:International criminal defense attorneys generally travel to foreign countries linked to the crime, where they work together with foreign and local counsel to protect the U.S. citizen and foreign national being charged with a crime. 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.
• International extradition:Okabe & Haushalter has represented individuals in high profile extradition cases throughout the world. A typical scenario is a government seeking to deport a celebrity or an important figure to and from the United States.
