Obtain experienced legal counsel
Running into trouble with the law while abroad can be a nightmare. While your rights as an American citizen are clearly defined, you may find yourself susceptible to the laws of the local area. This could also mean receiving legal counsel that does not have your best interests in mind. If you have been charged with a crime outside of the country, do not take any chances. The Law Offices of Rene A. Sotorrio, P.A. is experienced in procuring and working with skilled and ethical foreign counsel and organizing international criminal defense teams to protect its clients’ interests at home and abroad.
