I am suspected of a criminal offense regarding bodily injury. Do I need a lawyer to accompany me in the questioning by the police?
Appointing a lawyer is not mandatory, but it is purposeful to have an attorney at your side already in the first interrogation by the police. Sometimes the first questions are essential for the further proceedings. Whoever is not absolutely certain here, can exercise his/her right to remain silent and consult an experienced criminal attorney in time. A lawyer ensures your right to a fair lawsuit and will advise you regarding your possibilities of defence.
