涉外訴訟與非訟爭端解決 Foreign Affairs: Litigations and Other Actions
許多外國朋友不遠千里來到台灣,在此居留,工作,就學,成家,乃至落地生根。但是很少人意識到:台灣本國公民會遇到的一切問題,包括民事、家事、商務,甚至刑事法律問題在內,在台居留的外籍公民或者已歸化台灣國籍的外裔公民,同樣會遇到—一直到問題出現的那一剎那,才驚覺身旁無人可以協助。
本所的主持律師在美接受大學教育,且在外商任職多年;利用相當於母語程度的英語協助在台外國朋友面對各式法律問題,提供非訟與訴訟協助,更是經驗豐富、家常便飯。
As a foreigner, we understand how much you’ve grown to love Taiwan throughout the years of your stay: it might all start with an opportunity of job or study exchange, a teaching position, a business project. Before you know, you’ve acquired your APRC, or married to a Taiwanese citizen, or, even living with kids in a local house.
You just did not expect to be hit by legal troubles – which, unfortunately, is also a part of the unexpected yet to be endured part of real life anywhere.
You might have an argument with your local business partner but you can’t be sure whether you’ve been duped with some shady contract arrangements; you might wanna know what your rights are when you are faced with local police officers who keep asking you to comply and sign documents without explaining why (let alone the legal basis and the Miranda); you might, unfortunately, be compelled to consider about the termination of your marital status and hence, custody and property arrangements.
What do you do?
You secretly hope somewhere there is a qualified and experienced attorney (not some shyster without a proper license to practice law) who masters both the legal practice and English, so that you can run an effective reality check and form a strategy to help yourself.
You browse through the websites of the big law firms, only to find you can’t afford that kind of hourly rate and unlimited billing – not to mention they might not even care about your case at all because you might not be listed as a Fortune 500 member.
You ask around for individual legal practitioners but all the recommended lawyers either can’t communicate properly in English, or they just don’t wanna spend time to sit down with you and work out a strategic assessment.
Well, the search is over: you’ve found us.
Call now and schedule a consultation session, that’s perhaps the best thing you can do to help yourself.
