Criminal law criminal defence

The state has powerful means at its disposal when conducting criminal proceedings against a citizen. Homes and businesses can be searched on mere suspicion, as can telephone and online surveillance or the seizure of bank accounts.

Despite the presumption of innocence, pre-trial detention can be ordered, sometimes for weeks, often for many months. Their civil lives are severely disrupted, and there is a risk of prejudice not only in their own social environment or in public, but also in the criminal proceedings themselves.

Criminal defence in important proceedings belongs in the hands of specialised lawyers. Only a rigorous defence with many years of experience and advanced training can uphold the presumption of innocence and the constitutional guarantees of the citizen.
