Getting arrested in one’s own country can be highly stressful, but the level of stress can be even higher for anyone who is arrested and subsequently extradited to a foreign country or their country of origin for legal purposes. Attempting to understand a foreign jurisdiction could be only the beginning of many struggles for someone in this situation, which is why it would be advisable for them to seek legal advice and representation from Goldkorns Solicitors.
Why Goldkorns Solicitors?
We have developed a highly impressive reputation for delivering legal advice and representation in a substantial number and variety of legal areas. Indeed, Goldkorns Solicitors itself boasts an excellent team of solicitors with specialist knowledge and experience relating to cases involving extradition and mutual assistance, conducted in the Magistrates’ Court, High Court and Court of Appeal.
Although extradition used to be considered as reserved for “international crimes”, it is now used much more widely. Today’s media is often resplendent with stories of individuals being sent to foreign jurisdictions to defend charges covering many different types of crimes. The rise of this trend can be attributed largely to the birth of the European Arrest Warrant and the increasing number of international agreements made as part of the pursuit of “terrorists”; both have made the transfer of the individual much easier than before.
Our specialist solicitors know from their own experience of cases involving extradition and mutual assistance that receiving the correct legal advice at the outset of such a case can make the defendant’s experience all the more comfortable. It helps the defendant to behave wisely and appropriately in defending against the charge or charges and ensures that he or she is able to enjoy a relatively harmonious personal and professional life, which could be otherwise severely disrupted during the period between the dates of being arrested and attending trial.
