What consent usually waives.

Identity fights, dual criminality contests, package sufficiency challenges, and precious time. Once waived, those doors close in that proceeding. Know the statute in the requested country before anyone puts a pen in your hand.

Write the consideration.

If prosecutors promise a soft landing, specialty respect, or count limits, put it in US paper before local consent. Oral embassy cheerleading is not consideration.

Detention pressure is not a legal argument.

Foreign jails create urgency. Urgency is a feeling. Strategy is a leverage inventory: incomplete packages, human-rights issues, nationality clauses, forum arguments where they exist.

Specialty expectations.

If you consent, specialty rules still matter on landing - unless you also waived specialty. Do not accidentally gift superseding freedom. Spodek Law Group P.C. treats this as process work, not brochure language - we owe loyalty to only YOU. Unlike mills that recycle one speech for every country, we map specialty expectations against your actual facts.

Call 212 300 5196 - attorney on call, 24/7. Selective intake matters: we should only take on clients whom we can help on after consent - us reality.
