When should I hire a lawyer in criminal cases?

According to the law, a criminal suspect in a criminal case can do so after being interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or from the day when compulsory measures are taken. Therefore, it is possible in the stages of investigation, review, prosecution and trial, and intervention should be sooner rather than later.

Sooner rather than later

Article 33 A criminal suspect has the right to meet with the criminal suspect and the defendant with his lawyer's practice certificate, certificate, power of attorney or legal aid letter from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken, so as to learn about the relevant situation without being monitored.
