We advise clients about the full range of extradition and rendition issues
Difficult jurisdictional and procedural questions can arise in any situation where one state or nation is interested in the return of a person residing in Colorado, or in the opposite situation, where a person serving a prison term in the state would like to return to a foreign country or another state.
Examples of the kinds of cases we can help with include:
- A person in Colorado turns out to be wanted on an arrest warrant in another state — sometimes the warrant might be many years old
- A resident of another state has an arrest warrant from or a case in Colorado
- A foreign national resident in Colorado wanted by the authorities in another country wants to fight extradition or rendition to the country where the charges are pending
- A foreign national in Colorado wants to resist extradition or rendition to the country of origin on the grounds of asylum
- An American citizen resident overseas wants to fight repatriation to face criminal charges in the United States
Whether you need to challenge or clarify your apparent status as a fugitive, or want to negotiate the terms of your return to another country or state, we can help you. Contact a knowledgeable lawyer at Castle & Castle in Denver for a free consultation about your options.
