Arrested in Japan – Criminal Defense Attorneys
Japan has an international right to try foreigners arrested and convicted for an offense in Japan, within its territory. This means that if you are arrested for a criminal offense in Japan, neither your embassy nor the government of your country of origin will be able to force Japan to send you back to your home country. You will be detained, prosecuted, put on trial and convicted just like any other Japanese citizen under Japanese law unless you are entitled to immunity.
This probably means that you will also need to seek advice from an attorney qualified in Japan and experienced in criminal defense law in Japan.
Choosing a criminal defense lawyer without prior research is a tough process. But you would surely be looking for the best, most qualified attorney available.
