Criminal defence
We assist suspects, accused persons, victims and witnesses. Defence starts at the first interview, so it matters to involve an attorney early.
Who it is for
- People summoned by an investigator or named as suspects
- Victims who want to protect their rights
- Witnesses who are due to give evidence
Typical situations
- You received a summons from an investigator
- Someone close to you was detained
- You were defrauded and want to file a report
- You need to review the indictment
- You need to appeal a first-instance verdict
How we work
Urgent advice
Before the first interview we explain your rights and what to do.
Case materials
We review the materials to the extent the law allows and build the defence position.
Investigation stage
We attend interviews and other investigative steps and file motions and complaints.
Defence at trial
We conduct the defence at trial and, where needed, appeal the verdict.
Documents to prepare
- Summons or copies of records
- Identity document
- A list of facts and dates you know
- Documents linked to the case (contracts, messages)
This list is indicative. Your attorney will give you the exact list at the first meeting.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring an attorney when I testify as a witness?
Yes. A witness has the right to give evidence with an attorney present.
What should I do before an interview?
Do not rush to sign anything, and speak to an attorney as soon as you can.
When can a defence attorney start?
From the moment of detention or being named a suspect. You can sign an agreement in advance.
