Extradition Defense Florida

Experienced Extradition Defense from Miami

If you or a family member is facing extradition to the United States — whether arrested in Latin America, Europe, or elsewhere — you need experienced U.S. defense counsel immediately. Extradition proceedings move quickly, and early intervention by U.S. attorneys can dramatically change outcomes.

George J. Vila has represented clients from Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Israel, France, and many other countries in extradition-related proceedings before U.S. federal courts. He is fluent in English and Spanish.

Extradition Defense Strategies

  • Challenging the sufficiency of the U.S. indictment
  • Treaty-based defenses — non-extraditable offenses
  • Dual criminality challenges
  • Rule of specialty violations
  • Negotiating with DOJ before extradition occurs
  • Post-extradition suppression and dismissal motions

The most powerful intervention is before extradition occurs — engage U.S. counsel immediately upon arrest on a provisional extradition warrant.
