A criminal defense lawyer helps protect a client’s rights and interests at different stages of criminal proceedings — from the first investigative and procedural actions through trial, appeals and the enforcement of a sentence.

Criminal proceedings can create significant legal and personal risks regardless of a person’s procedural status. A summons for questioning, search, temporary seizure of property, notice of suspicion or another procedural action requires a considered response. A criminal lawyer can assess the situation, determine the defense position and help avoid actions that could adversely affect the further course of the case.

Grandliga provides criminal defense services to suspects, defendants, victims and other participants in criminal proceedings. In each matter, we review procedural documents, available evidence and the actions of the prosecution before determining the appropriate course of defense.

During the pre-trial investigation, defense counsel may participate in questioning, searches and other investigative or procedural actions, file motions and complaints, work with evidence, challenge procedural decisions and monitor compliance with the client’s rights. Circumstances established at an early stage can later have a material impact on the case.

During trial, a criminal defense lawyer presents the client’s position, examines evidence, questions participants in the proceedings, files motions and objections and uses other defense mechanisms available under the law. The approach is determined by the case materials, the procedural circumstances and the client’s objective.

Legal assistance may also be required after a court decision has been issued. A lawyer can assist with appellate and cassation proceedings, as well as matters relating to enforcement of a sentence, parole, amnesty, pardon and other procedures provided for by law.

Several lawyers may be involved in complex criminal proceedings. This allows different areas of work to be divided between counsel, the case materials to be reviewed comprehensively and procedural developments to be addressed promptly.

Where criminal proceedings have an international element, Grandliga also handles extradition matters, international legal assistance and the defense of individuals subject to procedural measures in different jurisdictions.

We do not guarantee a particular outcome in criminal proceedings, as the result depends on the evidence, circumstances of the case, actions of the parties and decisions of the relevant authorities and courts. The role of defense counsel is to use the legal mechanisms available consistently and to protect the client’s rights and interests throughout the proceedings.

If you require a criminal defense lawyer or advice from a criminal lawyer, contact Grandliga. We will review the situation, identify the principal risks and propose the next steps.
