Criminal Defense Lawyers and Law Firms in China

Investigations, detention, trials, white-collar matters and criminal appeals.

A criminal lawyer search should start with the city connected to the investigation, detention, court, evidence, or person. If you need a criminal lawyer in Beijing, open the Beijing lawyer directory; for a criminal lawyer in Tianjin or a northern-China port matter, open the Tianjin lawyer directory; for a criminal lawyer in Xiamen or a Fujian port or cross-strait matter, open the Xiamen lawyer directory. Confirm current criminal-defense experience directly; directory order is not a referral.

FAQ

Common questions

First steps if detained?
Contact counsel and your consulate as soon as possible. Do not rely only on informal fixers.
What should a criminal-defense intake include?
The city of the investigation, whether someone is detained, the nationality, and the next deadline you already know. Use Emergency on the form for detention. This directory does not provide emergency services.
Is this emergency help?
No. For immediate danger call local emergency services. This page helps you find defense counsel.
