Case files – drugs [Criminal Attorney in Japan]
Arrested for drugs in Japan
“I have a son living in Tokyo Japan, and I just received notice that he has been arrested by the police for being in possession of a controlled drug. I currently live abroad and cannot go to see my son being detained in a detention facility in Japan. I don’t know what to do and I have no clue as to how criminal cases proceed in Japan. What can I do?”
Our response:
Having children living away from home in a distant country will come with many worries of its own. There is all the more reason to worry if you have been told that your child has been arrested and you cannot do anything, or seek details about it. Even if you do not live in Japan where your arrested family member resides, you can still retain our attorneys to visit the police station to find out what is going on.
We can bring in gifts and/or messages on your behalf, explain the ensuing procedures and investigate the details of the case.
Criminal Lawyer in Japan will leave you without indictment
If you have been arrested and want to leave without a conviction/criminal record, you will need to have your case dropped by the prosecution without an indictment.
The reasons prosecution may drop the case is if you are proven not guilty, if there is insufficient evidence or if they decide to suspend their decision.
What becomes important here is that you retain an attorney to negotiate your case for whatever reason BEFORE you are indicted. Once you are prosecuted, it cannot be undone until the case is closed by trial. Prosecution may decide to indict you only days after your arrest so you would therefore need to decide whether to request legal representation at the earliest moment possible.
