Texas Extradition Defense Attorney

Defense in Interstate and International Extradition Hearings

If a prosecutor seeks to charge you with a crime in Texas courts or in U.S. federal court but you are not living in Texas or the U.S., you will face extradition proceedings. Within the U.S., extradition is assured between one state and another. Extradition from a foreign country depends upon U.S. treaties with the country in which you live.

An experienced U.S. defense attorney can help at two stages of the extradition process: in your home nation working alongside your local counsel to prevent extradition when that is possible, and at your side in U.S. criminal courts providing a strong defense.

In a career that has spanned more than 30 years, interstate and international extradition defense lawyer Frank A. Rubino has proven time and again his capacity to successfully handle complex, high-profile international criminal cases. His record is one that few can match: representing high-profile government officials, drug kingpins, and narco-traffickers facing extradition and in criminal courts in Texas, in U.S. District Courts and at the World Court at The Hague.

Why You Need a U.S. Attorney

Your extradition hearing will be held in your home country, during which you will be represented by a local attorney. However, your attorney cannot handle your case in the U.S. You will need a lawyer with a deep understanding of U.S. laws to provide a strong defense against the criminal charges you face.

Even if the crimes you are being charged with occurred years ago, you may still be facing the prospect of life in a U.S. prison. It's vitally important to choose a lawyer with the resources and skill to really fight your case.

Mr. Rubino represents clients in serious white collar crime cases (money laundering, corruption, tax evasion), in arms trafficking cases for illegal arms sales, and in international drug trafficking and importation cases.

He assists foreign nationals from Central and South America — Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama — as well as U.S. citizens facing extradition to a foreign country. He maintains a Spanish-speaking staff that can accompany him on trips to meet with and defend clients in South America.
