International Criminal Defense Law
- Crimes Committed by United States Citizens Abroad
- International drug offenses: Being arrested abroad can be a frightening experience. A person arrested outside of the United States will not know the local laws, will not know who to contact for help, may have little access to communication facilities, and may have language barriers to overcome. Moreover, depending on the country, drug arrests have severe consequences. If a family member or friend has been charged with a drug offense while travelling abroad, contact me immediately at george@yacoubian-law.com or (610) 213-3452.
- International sexual assaults: Being arrested abroad can be a frightening experience. A person arrested outside of the United States will not know the local laws, will not know who to contact for help, may have little access to communication facilities, and may have language barriers to overcome. Being charged with a sex crime, regardless of what country has jurisdiction, often leads to harassment, intimidation, and violence. If a family member or friend has been accused of a sexual assault crime abroad, contact me immediately at george@yacoubian-law.com or (610) 213-3452.
