Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

border arrest

Crossing back into US after a 4-day

candian tourist visit, was tagged at

the border for an outstanding (6 year

old) bench warrant in Nevada.

Currently being detained on US side,

awaiting news of possible extradition.

Do we need a lawyer during the

detainment process to avoid

extradition? Or just a criminal

attorney in NV should extradition

happen?

Re: border arrest

Not to sound trite but that depends on how much you wish to avoid extradition to NV. If very much so then you should retain local counsel. I don't handle extradition matters but I may know an attorney who does. If you'd like further assistance contact me directly.
