Lawyer for Arrest and Detention in Prague
An arrest in Prague triggers an immediate sequence of legal steps under Czech criminal procedure. You will be questioned, assessed for formal remand, and — within 48 hours — brought before a judge who will decide whether you should be held in pre-trial custody or released.
This 48-hour window is critical. It is the point at which a lawyer can have the most immediate impact: challenging the grounds for detention, presenting counter-arguments at the custody hearing, and advocating for your release — with or without conditions such as bail or a supervision order.
PEERS Law Firm responds to arrest and detention situations as an urgent priority. We attend remand hearings, advise you of your rights, and work to secure your release at the earliest opportunity. If pre-trial custody is ordered, we file regular applications for release and challenge the continued necessity of detention as proceedings progress. We are available in English around the clock.
