Frequently asked questions

When can a lawyer get involved in a criminal case?

A lawyer can act from the moment a person is arrested or held in custody, or from the decision to prosecute. Families should contact a lawyer as soon as a relative is detained.

Is information about the case kept confidential?

Yes. Lawyers are bound to keep client information confidential under the Law on Lawyers and professional ethics rules.

Can a lawyer ask for release from pre-trial detention?

A lawyer can request that detention be replaced by another measure such as bail by guarantee or a cash deposit where the conditions are met (Articles 121 and 122, Criminal Procedure Code 2015). The authorities then decide.

How are defence fees calculated?

Fees depend on the stage of proceedings (investigation, prosecution, trial) and the complexity of the case. Justix quotes in writing before signing the engagement letter.
