Federal Criminal Defense
Treaties Create Rights. We Enforce Them.
Aggressive, sophisticated legal representation when everything is at stake.
The Threat
Extradition treaties contain specific requirements that the requesting country must satisfy before surrender can occur. These include dual criminality requirements, statute of limitations provisions, and specialty protections. Prosecutors and foreign governments often overlook or minimize these protections.
Our Defense
Pagán Law conducts thorough analysis of applicable extradition treaties to identify every available defense. We challenge requests that fail to meet treaty requirements, argue dual criminality defects, and enforce specialty protections that limit prosecution to the charges for which extradition was granted.
