Criminal Defense Lawyer for Foreigners in Nakhon Sawan — Arrest, Bail, Trial, Embassy Coordination

Being arrested in a foreign country compounds every difficulty: language barriers, an unfamiliar legal system, distance from family, embassy formalities, and immigration consequences that may matter more than the criminal outcome itself. We act for foreign nationals from first contact with the police through trial and any deportation aftermath — coordinating with your embassy, arranging bail where possible, briefing your family abroad, and defending the underlying charges with a strategy that accounts for what happens to your visa and re-entry rights after the case ends.

Frequently asked questions — criminal defense lawyer for foreigners in Nakhon Sawan

3 questions answered

Call us, ask the police to call your embassy (you have the right to consular notification), and do not give a statement of any substance before counsel arrives. You can identify yourself and acknowledge basic facts, but anything past that should wait. Sign nothing in Thai that hasn't been translated and explained. We move quickly to the station once instructed.
Not necessarily — but immigration consequences run on a separate track from the criminal case, so a not-guilty verdict doesn't automatically restore visa status if the visa was cancelled at arrest. We address both tracks: defending the criminal case while preserving the option to reinstate status, or planning a graceful departure with future re-entry intact if that's the right outcome.
Bail is generally available for most charges, with the amount set by the court based on charge severity. Cash, bank guarantee, or a surety bond are accepted; the court may also impose travel restrictions (passport surrender, regular reporting). We prepare the bail application, arrange the security, and negotiate conditions that let you return home or to work while the case proceeds.
