Lawyer Defending Clients in International Criminal Law Cases

Today's world seems smaller than ever. The ease of international travel and the interconnected nature of our digital lives have brought people closer together, but this has also led to increased scrutiny as the governments of different countries seek to prosecute alleged crimes. As people cross international borders through both physical travel and digital transactions, they may not understand how international criminal law affects them.

If you have been charged with an international crime, you need an attorney on your side who is experienced in international law and understands the complexities of international treaties. Over the course of Attorney Stephen M. Komie's 40-year career, he has defended clients in a wide variety of criminal cases, including international tribunals. His experience as a delegate to the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction gives him a unique perspective on international law, and with his knowledge of criminal defense, you can rest assured that you will have effective legal representation in international criminal matters.

Skilled Defense Against International Criminal Charges

International criminal law applies to crimes which involve more than one country, such as crimes committed in one country that affect the people or the government of another country. International criminal cases can involve a wide variety of criminal charges, including terrorism, arms trafficking, drug trafficking, computer/internet crimes, money laundering, financial crimes, and human trafficking. In addition, U.S. citizens who are traveling abroad or who are involved in international business transactions may find that they have been charged with a crime under the laws of another country, even if they did not realize they were breaking that country's laws.
