When a Foreigner Is Detained in China,Early Legal Help Changes Everything

Early legal intervention can make the critical difference. Our English-speaking criminal lawyers provide nationwide defense for foreign nationals facing detention, investigation, or arrest in China.

You Are Not Alone in This Difficult Moment

  • Family Member Detained: Your loved one has been detained by Chinese police and you have limited information about their situation or whereabouts
  • Criminal Investigation: A criminal investigation has been initiated and you are unfamiliar with Chinese criminal procedures.
  • No Clear Communication: You cannot reach your family member or receive clear information about visitation rights or legal procedures
  • Unfamiliar Legal System: Chinese criminal procedure is complex and unfamiliar, leaving you uncertain about your loved one’s rights and options

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

Our experienced legal team specializes in foreign-related criminal defense cases. We provide clear communication in English, guide you through Chinese legal procedures, and work tirelessly to protect your loved one’s rights at every stage.

What to Do If Your Loved One Is Detained

Step 1: Stay Calm

Avoid contacting unofficial “middlemen” who promise a release for money.

Step 2: Locate the Facility

Identify which Detention Center they are held in.

Step 3: Exercise Silence

Advise them not to sign any documents they do not fully understand in English.

Step 4: Hire Local Counsel

Only a licensed Chinese lawyer can visit the detainee and review the case file.

We understand the anxiety and uncertainty you’re facing right now.
