Why now
Why you need an attorney right now
In criminal proceedings lost time never comes back. Anything you do without counsel can be used against you.
You have the right to counsel from the very first minute of detention or questioning — and you don’t have to testify against yourself or your family members.
The first 24 hours are decisive
That is when key evidence is gathered. Mistakes during a search or questioning are very hard to undo later.
Your words against you
Without an attorney it is easy to say something that becomes the basis of a suspicion. You have the right to remain silent — use it.
Frozen assets and accounts
A business can grind to a halt within days. The deadline to challenge a freeze is short.
Missed deadlines
Complaints and motions have strict deadlines — miss them and you lose the chance to defend yourself.
