Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyers
American citizens charged with drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking or some types of financial fraud may be tried before an international tribunal or in the court of a foreign country. Similarly, foreign nationals indicted for crimes that involve the illegal transfer of assets, drugs or other goods across U.S. borders may be prosecuted in a United States federal court. How and where an individual is prosecuted and the procedures used in that court will likely be defined by international treaties and conventions.
Fighting the charges against you begins with understanding your rights as well as the treaties and conventions that may apply in your case. The Harrisburg international crimes attorneys at the law office of Boyle, Autry & Murphy represent both United States citizens and foreign nationals facing international crimes charges in federal courts in Pennsylvania, before international tribunals and in foreign courts.
