International exposure

The client faced homicide prosecution in a Caribbean jurisdiction following his wife's death during a scuba diving excursion. International criminal cases require coordination with local counsel, navigation of foreign procedural rules, and often travel for hearings and trial.

Forensic complexity

Scuba deaths present unique forensic questions: equipment failure, medical incapacitation, diver error, and intentional conduct must be distinguished through expert analysis of dive logs, equipment, and autopsy findings.

Firm reach

The firm's criminal practice extends to 15+ countries and 40+ jurisdictions worldwide. Caribbean scuba death reflects representation beyond Massachusetts—where clients facing foreign prosecution need trial counsel willing to travel and litigate across borders.

Trial posture

International trials demand early retention of local experts, preservation of dive equipment and records, and coordination between U.S. and foreign counsel on strategy, witnesses, and evidentiary standards.
