Arrested in Brazil and criminal defense

Locating the detainee — in Brazil the detainee is located through SEEU/BNMP and the enforcement court. The family can request it; a retained lawyer accesses the files.

Custody hearing — within 24 hours of arrest the judge decides. The presence of the defense changes the outcome.

Border and federal jurisdiction — international drug trafficking, smuggling and customs evasion go to the Federal Justice (art. 109 of the Constitution).

Binational family & other needs

Divorce, custody and support across countries. The firm also takes the case and triages it — resolving what it can and referring complex matters — with initial guidance on visa/residence, work, business and real estate, honest about each step.

How a foreigner hires and pays

No need to travel. Hiring is done remotely by power of attorney; payment can be international. You speak directly with the lawyer on WhatsApp, in English.

Perguntas frequentes

A relative was arrested in Brazil. What can I do from another country?

Seek criminal defense immediately. A retained lawyer accesses the case files, locates the detainee (SEEU/BNMP/CNJ), attends the custody hearing (the judge decides within 24 hours of arrest) and requests release when appropriate. Everything is handled remotely; you do not need to travel to hire us.

Do you assist foreigners who are not in Brazil?

Yes. All assistance is remote, from southern Minas Gerais, throughout Brazil. Hiring is done at a distance (power of attorney) and payment can be international.

What language will I be assisted in?

English. You write in your language and we reply in your language. We also assist in Spanish and Portuguese.

Do you only handle criminal cases?

No. The firm takes the case, triages it and resolves what it can; complex matters are referred to a specialist. We also handle binational family matters and give initial guidance on visa/residence, work, business and real estate.
