Questions about
criminal law.
Concrete, free of legal jargon.
How do I reach an attorney after an arrest?
A detained person has the right to contact an attorney immediately after the arrest. You can call the office at any time — in urgent criminal matters I am available outside standard working hours as well.
Is it worth using voluntary submission to penalty?
Only after a careful analysis of the case. Sometimes it speeds things up and reduces the severity of the penalty; sometimes it closes the road to an acquittal. The decision is made after reviewing the case file — not under the influence of emotion.
How much does defence in a criminal case cost?
I set the fee as a flat rate per stage (investigation, first instance, appeal) or hourly. The amount depends on the stage of the proceedings, the complexity of the case and the workload. In business cases and cassations — individual pricing.
Must the accused attend every hearing?
In most cases the presence of the accused is mandatory at the first hearing. At subsequent dates the court may release the accused from the obligation to appear.
What should I do after a licence is retained for drink-driving?
You have 7 days to lodge an appeal against the prosecutor's decision to retain the licence (the deadline runs from service of a copy of the decision). Once the case is finally concluded and at least half of the driving ban has been served, you can apply to the court to continue the ban in the form of an alcohol interlock (alcolock).
Your case calls for
a precise assessment.
The first conversation is about understanding the situation and outlining the options. No obligations, no corporate jargon.
