At what stage do you need a defence lawyer?
Proceedings before the Public Prosecutor’s Office (pre-trial stage): The best time to put a defence strategy in place. The involvement of defence counsel makes it possible to influence how evidence is taken, some of which may not be repeated at a later stage before the court.
Court of First Instance: A critical stage of the proceedings. Preparing a response to the indictment, actively participating in hearings, examining witnesses and proactively presenting evidence can be crucial to the outcome of the case.
Appeal and Cassation Proceedings: Reviewing and challenging judgments. Precisely identifying errors made by the court of first instance provides a genuine opportunity to have an unfavourable ruling amended or set aside
What does working with a defence lawyer involve?
Establishing the facts: A detailed analysis of what happened and a thorough review of the case file
Objectives and strategy: We define short-term objectives (e.g. applying for a safe-conduct order, lifting an asset-freezing measure or seeking a change in preventive measures) and select the appropriate approach – active or more reserved.
Implementation: We file motions, attend court sessions and represent you at hearings, continuously adapting our tactics as the case develops.
