Criminal defense for foreign nationals in Brazil.

Our firm is included in the U.S. Embassy's list of attorneys in Brazil and represents foreign nationals in criminal cases nationwide — in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

How we help

From arrest to full case representation

Since 2016 the firm has represented foreign citizens in criminal cases in Brazil — from arrest in flagrante and custody hearings to jury trials and appeals before the Superior Courts in Brasília.

We keep families informed abroad, liaise with consular representations, and handle every procedural step in Portuguese so you don't have to.

24/7 emergency line for arrests: a lawyer responds immediately, explains the situation in English, and acts at the custody hearing — which happens within 24 hours of an arrest in Brazil.
