Lawyer for Police Questioning in Prague
Being called in for questioning by the Czech Police is one of the most common ways a criminal case begins. Whether you are called as a witness, a person of interest, or a formal suspect, what you say — and how you say it — can significantly affect the outcome of any subsequent proceedings.
Under Czech law, you have the right to have a lawyer present at police questioning. You also have the right to refuse to answer questions that could incriminate you. Many people go to police interviews without a lawyer and inadvertently make statements that are later used against them.
PEERS Law Firm prepares clients for police questioning in Prague and attends the interview alongside you. We advise you on which questions you are required to answer, which you can decline, and how to handle specific lines of questioning that may be designed to elicit incriminating responses. A lawyer at your side changes the dynamic of the interview and protects your interests from the very first interaction with police.
