Criminal Defense Attorney for the Chinese Community

Cultural issues and lack of tolerance can cause problems with local law enforcement. Chinese Americans facing criminal charges need help.

You must have legal assistance that can help communicate with the police to minimize the potential for more significant issues.

Chinese-Americans have been in the Detroit area since the late 1800s. They are currently the second-largest Asian-origin ethnic group in the Metro Detroit area. The vast majority of Chinese Americans are well educated and in the upper tiers of earned income. Many Chinese Americans live in the same community and have not assimilated into American culture. There are possible issues if a Chinese American gets involved with the police. There are often language barriers and cultural barriers between the Chinese American community and law enforcement. If you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor, you need a criminal defense attorney for the Chinese community to protect and defend you.

We will not stand for racism and intolerance.

There are repeated stories of police badgering and abusing a Chinese American because the person is not answering questions. Police are not taking the time to determine if the person understands English or can speak it proficiently. When a person comes in contact with a police officer over a suspected crime, it can be scary and intimidating. If you factor in a person that does not speak or understand English very well, it makes the situation even worse. Cultural differences can cause increased anguish as well. An act that is routine in the Chinese culture may be illegal in the United States and lead to criminal charges. An experienced defense attorney for the Chinese community can help level the playing field and give you an advantage in court.

There is also the possibility that deportation and other immigration issues may arise if you are convicted of a criminal offense and are not an American citizen. It is crucial that you have the best legal representation that can help you deal with criminal law issues.

Experienced, open-minded, and intelligent defense lawyers who help those in the Chinese Community deal with felony and misdemeanor criminal charges.
