Lawyers for Foreigners in Korea

Criminal Defense Attorney

For the over 1.8 million foreigners and expats living in South Korea, good legal representation with a criminal defense attorney can be limited due to language barriers, lack of information, cultural differences, etc. Most lawyers in the Republic of Korea (ROK) hesitate to take cases involving foreign nationals, as many cases involve detailed knowledge of Korean immigration law and/or cases that involve cross-border legal implications. Or they may be unable to or not want to speak English.

“With both the occasions that I have used Pureum, they have really came through for me. Simon is a true professional when it comes to the services he can provide. All the staff can speak fluent English which makes it much easier for a foreigner, such as my self, to be able to deal with the situation with some peace of mind. I highly recommend Simon and the Pureum office for truly professional legal assistance while here is South Korea!”
