Settling Out of Court – Criminal Lawyers in Japan
Anybody can become involved in a crime by chance. It could have been an accident. Maybe it was just an unlucky negligence.
It makes sense that you’ll want to apologize to the victim in some way or the other and make things right. It’s not uncommon however, to come across a victim of a crime who is not willing to negotiate on a final term. They may be determined to take you through a full trial out of spite or resent; and in many cases, this is understandable considering what they have been through.
But legal trials are time-consuming, pricey and often leaves a person exhausted. It would be much better off to retain a lawyer specializing in criminal defense cases at an early stage to negotiate with the victim
Here at ATOM Legal Professional Corporation, we will obtain the contact information of the victim from prosecution, send them your letter of apology and attempt to make direct contact with the victim to negotiate terms that both you and the other party are satisfied with.
A settlement out of court has merits of its own by allowing you to apologize and compensate the damage caused, but above that, it has the effect of heightening the probability of your non-prosecution or suspended sentence.
We have offices in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka and are willing to dispatch our attorneys to anywhere in Japan within days of retention.
