If you or someone you know has been or is being detained by the police, it is important to act quickly. Suspects have the right to contact an attorney from the moment they are detained (consultation and interview assistance). We also provide emergency defender assistance as a preferred attorney, which means that we are available at very short notice to visit suspects in police custody at the station.
