When Should You Contact a Criminal Lawyer?

• Summons for questioning or interrogation: Before giving any statement, you have the right to legal counsel. Preparing with a lawyer can prevent rash decisions that may be used against you.

• Commencement of criminal proceedings: If you are accused or indicted, a criminal defense lawyer ensures thorough protection of your rights throughout the criminal process.

• Detention or custody: If you are detained by the police, it's essential to have a lawyer who will oversee the legality of the procedures and represent you during decisions regarding custody.

• Filing a criminal complaint: If you are a victim of a crime, a lawyer will assist with filing the complaint, representing you in the proceedings, and asserting your claim for compensation.

• Conviction and sentence enforcement: A criminal lawyer can help file appeals, motions to reopen proceedings, or requests for conditional release.

Why Choose a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

Criminal law is one of the most complex areas of law. Every decision can have serious consequences for your life. We are experienced criminal defense lawyers with the knowledge, expertise, and legal tools to represent you effectively and achieve the best possible outcome.

Legal Help When Facing Criminal Charges

If you are charged with a criminal offense, immediate and professional legal assistance is essential. We provide effective defense from the very beginning of the criminal process—from initial questioning and preparing the defense to representation in court. Our criminal lawyers protect your rights, evaluate evidence, and fight for a fair outcome, aiming to reduce the sentence or achieve acquittal.

Criminal Lawyer Available Also for Witnesses

Many people believe that legal help in criminal proceedings is only for the accused or victims. However, even a witness can face pressure, confusion, or the risk of unintentionally entering a legally complicated situation. At LEXANTE Law Firm, we provide expert legal advice to witnesses in criminal matters.

How Can a Criminal Lawyer Help Witnesses?

• Preparation for questioning: We will explain what to expect and how to answer without the risk of legal consequences.

• Presence during questioning: A lawyer can be present and ensure the legality of the procedure.

• Protection against self-incrimination: If your statement could unintentionally endanger you or your loved ones, the lawyer will advise you on how to proceed correctly.

• Handling complex situations: For example, if you shift from being a witness to becoming a suspect.

How a Criminal Lawyer Can Help Reduce Your Sentence or Achieve Acquittal

If you are facing criminal charges, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can significantly influence the outcome in your favor. With deep knowledge of criminal law and years of experience, we identify evidentiary flaws, procedural errors, and propose a defense strategy that may lead to sentence reduction or complete acquittal.

How Can We Specifically Help You Reduce Your Sentence?

• Review of evidence and case files: We analyze the legality and relevance of evidence and look for inconsistencies in the procedure.

• Motions to dismiss proceedings: If there are grounds for dismissal, we file motions that can end the case early.

• Plea bargaining: In cases where an admission is advantageous, we negotiate terms that minimize consequences (lower sentence, alternative resolutions).

• Representation in court: We deliver an effective defense, question witnesses and experts, and present evidence in favor of the client.

• Legal remedies: If there has been an unfair verdict, we prepare an appeal, extraordinary appeal, or motion to reopen the proceedings.

At LEXANTE Law Firm, we provide legal assistance in criminal matters with attention to every detail. We carefully assess the individual circumstances of the case, propose an effective defense strategy, and actively protect your rights throughout the entire criminal process—from investigation to court ruling.

What to Do If You Are Summoned for Questioning

Being summoned for questioning by the police, prosecutor, or another authority can be stressful and legally risky. Many people don't realize that even as a witness or suspect, the interrogation can significantly affect your position in the criminal proceedings.

Advice from a Criminal Defense Lawyer – What to Watch Out For

• Do not attend questioning without legal representation: You have the right to a lawyer during questioning—use it. Even seemingly harmless statements can be used against you later.

• Do not sign any statements without thoroughly reading them: You should always read your testimony in full and consult its contents with your lawyer.

• Don’t succumb to pressure: Authorities may ask leading or repetitive questions. A lawyer will guide you on how to respond calmly and legally safely.

• Do not answer questions that could incriminate you: You have the right to remain silent if speaking would harm you or your loved ones. Your lawyer will advise when to exercise this right.
