How It Works

Four Steps from Contact to Defence

Clear process, full transparency. We act immediately in urgent cases — the same day you contact us.

1

Confidential Consultation

You describe your situation. Legal professional privilege applies from this moment — everything discussed is protected.

2

Legal Assessment

We identify the governing treaty and statute — including 18 U.S.C. §3184 — the available grounds of challenge, and the most effective route to your objective.

3

Immediate Action

In urgent cases we act the same day — opposing detention, contesting the request, or filing a Red Notice challenge with the CCF.

4

Full Case Management

We manage proceedings end to end — US federal courts, extradition hearings abroad, CCF submissions, and coordination with international co-counsel.

Why Choose Us

Focused on the United States. International Reach.

🇺🇸

US Extradition Focus

Our practice centers on extradition to and from the United States and Interpol Red Notices — the framework of treaties, 18 U.S.C. §3184, and the doctrines that decide these cases.

Emergency Response

Provisional arrests and first hearings happen fast — often before a formal request arrives. We act on urgent matters with minimum notice, when it matters most.

🌐

Cross-Border Coordination

International defense requires teams in more than one jurisdiction. We coordinate with local and US counsel for a single, unified strategy across borders.

🔒

Absolute Confidentiality

Attorney–client privilege applies from your first contact. We never share client information. Discretion is not an add-on — it is fundamental to what we do.

🎯

Narrow Specialization

We do not handle family, employment, or general commercial matters. Our entire practice is extradition, Interpol, and international criminal defense.

🏛️

Experience Before the CCF

Direct experience challenging Interpol Red Notices before the Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files, on human-rights and predominantly political grounds.

    FAQ

    Common Questions

    Yes, if the US has an extradition treaty with the country where you are located and the treaty and dual-criminality conditions are met. But extradition can be challenged on legal, procedural, and human-rights grounds. The strongest challenges are often made early — before the formal request arrives — so specialist legal advice at the first sign of risk is essential.
    No. A Red Notice is a request asking law-enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition. It is not an international arrest warrant, and Interpol cannot compel any country to act. A notice must comply with Interpol's Constitution, including the neutrality rule in Article 3, and can be challenged before the CCF.
    Not through the ordinary treaty process — but a missing treaty does not guarantee safety. A person can still be removed through deportation, immigration action, an Interpol Red Notice, or ad-hoc arrangements between governments. Always verify the legal reality before relying on any "no-extradition" list.
    It runs through a complaint and a hearing under 18 U.S.C. §3184, where a federal court examines probable cause, dual criminality, and whether the treaty applies. There is no direct appeal — review is by writ of habeas corpus — and the Secretary of State makes the final surrender decision under §3186.
    Not before legal advice. A waiver gives up your extradition hearing and protections such as the rule of specialty, and once signed it is very difficult to withdraw. Speak to a lawyer before signing anything presented to you as a waiver.
    Yes. We are an international firm and advise clients worldwide by telephone and video conference, coordinating with local and US counsel wherever the proceedings are heard.
