Our criminal law office in Budapest, Hungary provides full defence services. We help to anyone involved in criminal proceedings due to one reason or another, whether (s)he is an aggrieved person, a criminal defendant (suspect or accused) or another participant in the proceedings. It is important that a criminal proceeding does not start with the trial hearing. It is, therefore, practical to take care of professional defence as early as possible. The defence strategy may be worked out right after the start of the proceeding. It needs the help of a criminal lawyer. The counsel of our office act on behalf of our clients with utmost care and professional experience.

The presence of the defence counsel (defence attorney, defender, criminal lawyer) is justified, nay, it is necessary right at the beginning of a criminal proceeding, even affecting the entire defence strategy, since the phase of interrogation is a very critical part of the proceeding, where professional advice and help is most needed. The circumstances of the interrogation of suspects weigh heavily on the defendant, not infrequently creating a feeling of vulnerability.

It is important to note that all statements made by the suspect in the course of her/his interrogation may be used as evidence in the criminal proceeding, even against the suspect. The presence of the criminal defender at the interrogation is of paramount importance for he guarantees the faultless exercise of the defendant’s rights and conformity with procedural rules.

If you are going to be interrogated as a witness or a suspect in a criminal proceeding, use by all means the help you can get from a defence counsel well versed in criminal law. Just like when having even a slight illness, we turn to a medical doctor for efficient help, we should never be too greedy about the money and time for getting help from a professional, the defence counsel in the criminal proceedings against us. In such instances we should never be left alone in the maze of paragraphs.

To sustain co-existence in society, it is necessary to have rules of conduct which guarantee the life, bodily integrity, liberty and wealth of individuals as well as public order and public safety. One of the most ancient methods of compelling people to abide by the rules of conduct serving the harmonious balancing of diverse interests is that the state threatens the violation of such rules with punishment, i.e. it creates criminal law.

The right to defence:

There are no two identical criminal proceedings. They are all special, each client is different and equally important for us. Once you disclosed to us the facts and data inevitably necessary for mounting a criminal defence, we formulate a defence strategy to reach the optimal result.

In a criminal proceeding, the defendant (suspect, accused) is entitled to defend himself, but he also has the right to employ a defence counsel of his choice. The right to defence is important, among others, because it is meant to balance the dominant position of the authority in its relationship with the defendant.
