For minors, the presence of a lawyer or a trusted person during police questioning is mandatory, while adults have the right to have a lawyer present during police questioning
I have received a subpoena
The Crown Prosecutor decides to take the criminal case in which you are considered a suspect to court. You will then receive a subpoena. This summons states the charges against you and indicates where and when you must appear in court.
If you are already in custody at that time, you will be assigned a criminal lawyer, for which you do not have to pay any fees.
I have been arrested for a criminal offense
Have you been arrested for a criminal offense such as assault, drug trafficking, a sex crime or theft? There will be a police interrogation by the police at the station. As a suspect, you always have the right to the assistance of a lawyer during police interrogation. For minors, legal assistance is mandatory.
Peterfreund Associates advises you both during the preliminary investigation and during the legal proceedings before the criminal court and ensures that your rights of defense are strictly respected. As a defendant, you always have the right to legal counsel. Always engage a good criminal lawyer.
I am a suspect in a case
If you are suspected of committing a criminal offense or crime, this can have major consequences for you and those around you. A criminal lawyer in Antwerp can assist you in various ways during the criminal process.
Because of a criminal investigation, you may face a search, a wiretap or you may even be deprived of your freedom. A criminal lawyer can provide you with legal support right from the very first police interrogation to any trial and appeals. It is advisable to seek legal advice even before the police interrogation, as the presence of a lawyer during this interrogation can make a significant difference in the progress of the case.
