You can hire a lawyer after criminal detention.
In the whole process of criminal investigation and trial, a criminal suspect can hire a lawyer to provide legal aid after being interrogated for the first time or being taken compulsory measures.
In practice, it is also very time-sensitive to hire a lawyer in criminal cases. Criminal suspects and their families should try to ask lawyers for assistance according to their own specific circumstances.
The reason is that lawyers can get a more comprehensive understanding of the case, collect evidence favorable to the suspect, have enough time to study the legal provisions and make full preparations for the trial. If a lawyer is hired during the trial, it is inevitable that the lawyer will be pressed for time, which may affect his role.
Second, what is the role of criminal defense lawyers?
1. For criminal suspects during criminal detention, only lawyers can meet the suspects, but family members cannot visit them. In order to strive for the greatest rights and interests, lawyers need to be involved to understand the case.
2. The entrusted lawyer can provide legal advice and represent complaints and accusations.
According to the law, lawyers can provide legal advice to criminal suspects when they are first interrogated or meet with them after compulsory measures are taken. Due to the special identity and status of criminal suspects and the lack of legal knowledge, criminal suspects often dare not boldly safeguard their legitimate rights and interests because they don't know the law. Therefore, when the suspect is arrested, his family should immediately hire a lawyer for him. With the lawyer's timely consultation, the suspect will be clear-headed.
3. Lawyers can apply for bail pending trial on their behalf, and apply for cancellation or change of compulsory measures on their behalf.
After the criminal suspect is arrested, in order to solve the case quickly, the interrogators may not always carry out the interrogation in strict accordance with the law, which may damage the legitimate rights and interests of the criminal suspect and even seriously infringe on the personal rights of the criminal suspect.
The suspect can't do anything about it and doesn't know what to do. If a criminal defense lawyer is involved, the lawyer can complain and accuse the behavior instead of the criminal suspect. Supervise the interrogation process of case handlers at any time to truly protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects.
Based on the above introduction, a criminal suspect can hire a lawyer to provide legal aid after he is interrogated for the first time or after compulsory measures are taken. I believe that after reading the above introduction, you have a certain understanding of the legal knowledge of the role of criminal defense lawyers. If you have legal problems in this field, please consult a lawyer, and they will give you professional answers.
