Do you need a criminal lawyer?

Professional counsel is required when a person falls into the hands of state authorities, as his/her health, way of life, property, career and family relationships are jeopardized.

1

The Right Strategy

The first thing an attorney does is getting acquainted with the situation, studying the case materials and forming far-reaching defense plans with the client.
2

A Proper Start

A defense lawyer will counsel their clients during interrogations as well as other legal proceedings, and monitor the legality of the behavior of the Estonian authorities.
3

Submitting complaints

An attorney will submit formal complaints regarding unlawful actions or decisions of state authorities, seeking their cessation or annulment in the early stages of the criminal proceedings.
4

Unlimited access

In Estonia, even when a suspect is prohibited from communicating with other persons, defense lawyers can always visit them to resolve any legal issues that might arise.
5

Relatives

A lawyer can communicate with and answer questions of any relatives and loved ones, keeping them aware of what is happening and giving recommendations regarding calls, meetings and mail transfer.
6

The Media

With the client's approval, a defense attorney will give clear comments to the media, adjusting the degree of public resonance of a particular case in Estonia and abroad.
7

Collecting Evidence

A defense attorney will collect and present evidence necessary for achieving the most favorable outcome in an ongoing case.
8

Defense in Court

A lawyer will prepare and submit procedural documents and defend the rights and interests of his clients in courts of various instances.
9

Appealing Court Decisions

In case of an unsatisfactory or unreasonable verdict, an attorney can demand a review in the courts of appeal or cassation.

The sooner a lawyer is involved, the better the chances

When it comes to communicating with Estonian authorities, a suspect's demeanor will determine the extent to which rights and freedoms will be limited. In the long run, the chances of a positive outcome of the case are directly affected.

For this reason, one cannot hesitate and needs to get a lawyer involved immediately.


Further legal aid

Even if the trial is over and the court decision has entered into force, a lawyer can still provide invaluable help and support:

Release on parole

An attorney significantly improves the chances of getting released on parole and probation (with or without subjection to electronic surveillance).



Probation officer's reports

When examining failure to comply with supervisory requirements, a lawyer can help avoid the enforcement of imprisonment.

Release from punishment

A lawyer can apply for release of a client from bearing punishment due to the state of his health.
