Visiting a client at a Police Station or Detention Center: 22,000 Yen (220 USD)

When someone is arrested, getting a competent criminal defense lawyer is a must. During the first visit, I can explain the Japanese criminal justice system, the suspect /defendant's rights and how to handle the current situation to a prospective client. After the first visit and getting to know the case, I can provide a fee proposal to clients.

Investigation Phase
