What if a foreign family member is detained or missing in China?
Contact a China-licensed criminal lawyer and the person's embassy or consulate promptly. Gather name, nationality, passport, last location and any notice. First verify custody, responsible authority and legal basis.
Can I appoint a lawyer from overseas?
Yes. A detained suspect's guardian or close relative may appoint counsel subject to the suspect's choice. Confirm identity, relationship proof, authorization, translations and remote formalities. Basic appointment guidance is included in formal defense.
Can I start with a US$300 assessment?
Yes: up to five pages, concise background, one round of written questions and a short assessment. No meeting, full-file review, authority submissions or formal defense. Detailed evaluation is US$750, crediting US$300 if upgraded.
Must I pay three stages at once?
No. Retain the current stage: minor from US$6,000, standard from US$10,000, subject to assessment. Complex cases are individually quoted. Three-stage representation is optional.
How do I pay, and can someone in China pay for me?
Law-firm bank instructions follow agreed services and engagement. Accepted currencies: USD, RMB, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, account and amount confirmed. A relative or friend in China may pay with details confirmed. No online purchase or card checkout.
