# Why is your Norwegian friend asking for "ambassaden" (the embassy)?

"Ambassaden" is Norwegian for "the embassy." Your friend is asking for the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C. or the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York. The embassy can offer consular support, contact family in Norway, and provide a list of local attorneys, but it cannot get your friend out of detention or provide legal representation. Get them a Massachusetts criminal defense attorney first. Call Attorney Rory Munns at 401-573-2265.
