When a client is arrested, it is of utmost importance for his or her defense counsel to act quickly and effectively. In this difficult situation, ad hoc options for the defense attorney can help protect the client and preserve his or her rights.
The importance of ad hoc measures for the defense
The arrest of a client can be challenging for defense counsel. However, by acting quickly and taking the right ad hoc measures, important evidence can be secured and, most importantly, the client can be protected from unnecessary overstepping of legal boundaries by the investigating authorities.
Ad hoc opportunities for defense counsel
Ad hoc options for defense counsel can vary depending on the situation. This includes, for example, obtaining information about the arrest process and the reasons for the arrest, requesting detention review procedures, expediting pre-trial proceedings, and appealing disproportionate measures taken by investigative authorities.
Summary
Arrest of a client requires quick and effective action by defense counsel. Ad hoc options such as detention review proceedings and initiation of appeal proceedings can help protect clients and preserve their rights.
Legal framework regarding ad hoc possibilities of defense counsel after arrest
Under German law, every defendant has the right to counsel of his or her choice. This right exists from the beginning of the case, even after arrest. The defense attorney has the right to visit and communicate with the defendant to get a full picture of the situation. If defense counsel believes the defendant has been unlawfully arrested, he or she may file a petition with the court to request that his or her client be released.
