International Criminal Defense Attorneys

International Legal Defense Counsel (ILDC) was formed in 1977 to protect the legal and human rights of Americans who are arrested or detained on criminal charges in foreign countries. American Citizens who have been arrested abroad often experience enormous difficulties in obtaining competent local legal counsel, resulting in personal and family hardships and injustices.

Michael Griffith has been seen on numerous television spots for his roles in international cases.

ILDC is a group of American attorneys affiliated with an international network of lawyers concerned with the plight of individuals facing legal difficulties in countries other than their own.

Meg Strickler and Dan Conaway were speakers at the International Bar Association in Prague, September 2005.
