At the Law Offices of David Elden, we help prison inmates from other countries obtain transfers to their countries of origin. Our experience with sentencing and corrections procedures in both the state and federal systems can also help facilitate sending foreign nationals back to their home countries as an alternative to imprisonment in a state prison or federal penitentiary. For a free consultation about your options for obtaining a prison transfer, contact experienced criminal defense attorney David Elden at his office in Los Angeles.

Many persons arrested in the United States on drug charges, weapons charges, or other offenses are citizens of other countries. With one of the largest foreign-born populations in the United States in both absolute and proportionate terms, California has an interest in limiting the number of foreign nationals serving time in its prisons and it is often possible to repatriate foreign national criminal defendants or prisoners to their home countries.

We also advise and represent clients facing extradition proceedings to answer charges in the United States. David Elden defends extradition cases aggressively, with dedication to the protection of his clients' rights.

In cases where our client was born overseas or in Latin America but arrested or indicted in the United States, we can often arrange for a negotiated sentence in a prison more conveniently located in our client's country of origin, where he or she can receive the support of family and friends, and where the conditions of incarceration won't be made worse through language barriers, unfamiliar food, or other characteristics of the American correctional system.

We also represent persons from other countries who are currently incarcerated in state or federal institutions who want to arrange an international prison transfer to a facility in their country of origin. Based on the circumstances of your case and conditions in your home country, we can often arrange your repatriation.
