Arrested in Japan – Criminal Defense Lawyer in Japan
It goes without saying that having a previous conviction on your criminal record will put you at a disadvantage when living in Japan on a visa. If you have been arrested or are being investigated under suspicion of a crime, it would be best to get it sorted within the only few days you have before the prosecution indicts you.
Japan has a 99.9% conviction rate; put simply, this means that if you are indicted, there is a very little chance you will be given a verdict of not guilty.
In order not to be indicted, negotiation with the victim (if any) and prosecution is crucial. Retaining a lawyer gives you the advantage of bargaining on equal grounds.
