Common Criminal Offenses and Cases We Handle Abroad

International legal assistance may be required both in complex cross-border investigations and in situations that arise while a person is staying abroad.

Among the most common cases are:

• forgery of documents, including passports, residence permits, or driving licenses;
• use or presentation of forged documents;
• illegal trafficking, possession, or transportation of narcotic substances;
• road traffic accidents abroad, especially in cases involving injury or death;
• banking and financial fraud;
• international fraud schemes;
• money laundering;
• cybercrime;
• cryptocurrency-related offenses;
• criminal tax offenses;
• corruption offenses;
• theft and other property crimes;
• violent criminal offenses;
• organized and cross-border crime;
• international wanted-list cases;
• extradition cases.

Special attention should be paid to situations where a person has been detained abroad or law enforcement authorities have seized documents, a phone, a vehicle, or other property. In such cases, it is important to obtain a legal assessment of the situation as soon as possible and not to sign documents whose contents the client does not fully understand.

Cost of International Lawyer Services

The cost of an international lawyer is determined individually after an initial assessment of the situation. The price depends on:

• the country where legal assistance is required;

• the nature of the offense;
• the client’s procedural status;
• the urgency of the request;
• the need for the lawyer to travel abroad;
