Criminal law
Has the prosecution summoned you for questioning as a person under investigation?
Are you aware of your rights as an alleged offender? For example, when does the right to refuse to testify apply?
As a rule, a summons must be complied with unless there is a just cause for not doing so. This must be notified to the criminal prosecution authorities in advance and in good time. Anyone who fails to appear without excuse after a summons must expect a fine or even a police citation.
Our team of criminal lawyers is committed to informing you of your situation and your chances in a transparent manner and to assisting you throughout the procedure.
Allow us to help you. We will answer all your questions without any prejudice and outline your options for action.
