International Extradition Attorney

Aggressive & Comprehensive High-End International Extradition Defense

In the United States, every person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, not all countries abide by the same principles. When a person living in the United States is accused of a crime in another country, they could face extradition to the nation where the charges originated. It is a frightening reality facing countless people throughout the U.S. Whether you own a business, corporation or have significant assets, it is vital to have a powerful legal team on your side to fight against extradition and protect your freedoms as a United States resident. Over the years, the international extradition attorneys at Okabe and Haushalter have utilized an aggressive and comprehensive approach to helping high-end clients stay in the country and avoid international charges.

Why You Need a High-End International Extradition Attorney

How We Fight Extradition

First, it is important to understand the conditions established in the extradition treaty. The treaty will explain the exact terms, charges and how the extradition will be handled between the countries involved. Our team of international extradition attorneys will thoroughly review the document. Any errors or discrepancies can greatly improve your chances of avoiding extradition. It is important to understand the burden of proof is on the government to correctly identify the suspect. Failure to properly identify the suspect can result in a dismissal of the case.

In many instances, the extradition treaty may also lack a probable cause for the alleged crime committed by the suspect. Unreliable accusations can also result in a dismissal. Even if a suspect is not successful during their extradition hearing, an experienced and knowledgeable international extradition attorney can file a petition with the State Department to cancel the extradition due to human rights or political issues.
