European Arrest Warrant Lawyer in the Czech Republic
A European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is a fast-track surrender mechanism between EU member states. If you have been arrested in the Czech Republic on the basis of an EAW issued by another EU country, you are in a time-sensitive legal situation that requires immediate specialist representation.
PEERS Law Firm represents individuals subject to European Arrest Warrants in the Czech Republic. We appear at EAW surrender hearings before the Prague Municipal Court, advise on the grounds available to oppose surrender, and work to protect your interests throughout the process.
Although EAW proceedings are designed to be efficient for the issuing state, Czech law provides real grounds on which surrender can be refused: Czech citizenship (in some cases), double jeopardy, the political nature of the offense, concerns about fair trial in the issuing state, and other protections. We assess each EAW individually and advise honestly on the prospects of resistance.
