Questions about criminal defense
What information should a family member send about a detention in China?
Start with the person’s name, nationality, city, the date of the incident and any detention or case notice available. Tell us how you are related and provide a contact number. If information is missing, say what is known; the first review will identify what needs to be verified.
Can I contact the firm from outside China?
You can make an initial enquiry remotely and explain the situation in English. Before representation starts, the lawyer will discuss the required authorization, available documents, scope of work and fees. An initial enquiry does not itself appoint a lawyer.
Can an initial consultation predict release or the result of a case?
No result can be promised from an initial summary. The lawyer needs to review the case stage, documents and circumstances before discussing possible next steps. Tell us about any scheduled questioning, hearing or deadline when you contact us.
