Emergency Legal Assistance

Some situations cannot wait until office hours — an arrest, an accident, assets frozen, a deadline expiring tomorrow. What is done in the first hours often determines what remains possible afterwards.

Wise Counsel provides urgent legal assistance to individuals and families in Vietnam, with a lawyer reachable outside normal working hours.

What we help with

• Immediate response when a family member is arrested or detained
• Urgent attendance at police stations and government offices
• Emergency applications to preserve assets or prevent their disposal
• Action where a deadline is about to expire and rights would be lost
• Assistance following a serious accident, including dealings with authorities
• Urgent protective measures in situations of violence or threat
• Emergency advice where documents are demanded or property is seized
• Coordinating with family members and, where relevant, foreign embassies

Call before you sign anything, agree to anything or give a statement. Those are the moments that are hardest to undo later.
