Criminal Defense

Being suddenly arrested or investigated in a foreign country is an extremely frightening and stressful experience, not only for the accused but also for their family members. Language barriers, unfamiliarity with the Japanese criminal justice system, and uncertainty about what will happen next often place an especially heavy emotional burden on foreigners.

In many cases, family members contact us immediately after an arrest because they do not even know where their loved one is being detained. In criminal cases, early action is critical, and whether a lawyer becomes involved at an early stage can significantly affect the outcome of the case.

Our firm provides comprehensive criminal defense support from the moment of arrest, including legal advice on police questioning and investigations, prompt attorney visits to detention facilities, applications for release from detention and bail, settlement negotiations, and courtroom defense.

If your family member has been arrested, you have been summoned by the police, you wish to assert your innocence, or you are seeking early resolution through settlement, do not handle the situation alone. Please consult us as soon as possible.

We offer English-language consultations and ongoing communication, ensuring that foreign clients fully understand their legal situation and available options before making important decisions.

If you need legal assistance with a criminal matter in Japan, please contact us without delay.
