24/7 Criminal Defense Lawyer in Argentina for Arrests and Detention

Criminal emergencies do not happen only during business hours. An arrest, police detention, search, questioning, or other urgent criminal matter may require immediate legal assistance at night, on weekends, or on holidays.

That is why Kier Joffe maintains 24/7 on-call coverage for urgent criminal defense matters. When an emergency call is received, our team can evaluate the situation, identify the appropriate next steps, and coordinate legal assistance based on the circumstances and location of the case.

What to Do If You Are Arrested or Detained in Argentina

If you have been arrested, detained, or are being questioned in connection with a criminal investigation in Argentina, obtaining legal advice promptly can be important. Avoid making assumptions about Argentine criminal procedure based on the rules of your home country.

If possible, contact a criminal defense attorney and provide the essential information: your full name, current location, the police station or detention facility if known, the authority involved, and any information you have about the alleged offense or proceeding.

If you are calling on behalf of a family member or another person in custody, provide as much identifying and location information as you can. Our team can then assess what legal assistance may be available and what steps should be taken next.
