What is a defence lawyer?

A defence lawyer is an attorney who specialises in defending individuals who are suspected, charged, or accused in criminal cases. By protecting the accused’s rights and ensuring fair treatment throughout the legal process, the defence lawyer works to secure an acquittal or the lowest possible penalty.

In a legal system where the state often has significant resources and strong legal arguments, it is essential to have a competent defence lawyer at your side.

At KROMANN Law Firm, you will meet lawyers who combine deep legal expertise with a personal approach. Our defence lawyers communicate clearly and precisely and ensure that you, as a client, feel safe throughout all stages of your case.

The tasks of a defence lawyer

Below is an example of how a defence lawyer may approach your case:

• Case review
  Your defence lawyer begins by reviewing all available case materials and evidence. This includes, for example, police reports, video and audio recordings, and witness statements. The aim is to identify errors or irregularities that may be used in your favour. Your lawyer ensures that all relevant information is properly documented in order to build a strong defence.
• Advice and guidance
  After the initial review, you receive a thorough briefing on your case.
  
  Your lawyer explains your rights, for example the right to remain silent during police questioning, and advises you on how to handle questions from both the police and the court.
  
  In addition, possible outcomes and risks linked to different strategic choices are discussed. The focus is on clear communication to create a sense of security and ensure that you understand the consequences of the decisions made.
• Development of a defence strategy
  Once all information has been gathered, your lawyer develops a tailored strategy.
  
  The strategy is based on an assessment of which parts of the evidence can be challenged and which witnesses should be called.
  
  Possible actions include:

   

• Collection of additional evidence

• Preparation of witness statements

• Identification of procedural violations

• Drafting of legal objections

Your lawyer adapts the strategy to the unique circumstances of your case, as no two cases are the same.

Defence lawyer in the courtroom

It may also be useful to understand how a defence lawyer acts in court. Below we have gathered examples of how the process may unfold:

Preparation for the hearing

Before the case reaches the courtroom, your lawyer works intensively on preparation. All evidence is reviewed, and a detailed plan is developed for how the case will be presented. Meetings with witnesses and experts may be included to strengthen your defence.

Cross-examination of witnesses

In the courtroom, your lawyer asks sharp and precise questions to the prosecution’s witnesses. The purpose is to uncover inconsistencies and uncertainties in their statements, thereby weakening the credibility of the evidence.

Presentation of counter-evidence

At the same time, your counter-evidence is presented – for example documents, recordings, and witness statements that clearly contradict the charges. This creates doubt about your guilt, which is crucial for the outcome of the case.

When should you contact a defence lawyer?

There are many types of criminal cases where a defence lawyer can be essential to protecting your rights and guiding you through the legal process.

In some cases, early legal intervention can be decisive for the outcome, for example by ensuring the correct handling of evidence, interrogations, and legal procedures. Below are examples of cases where prompt legal assistance may be particularly important:

• Violent crime cases

• Drug-related cases

• Financial crime cases

• Traffic offences

What does a defence lawyer cost?

The cost of a defence lawyer can vary significantly from case to case.

When you are assigned a court-appointed defence lawyer, the fee is paid by the state if you do not have the financial means to cover it yourself. This applies regardless of whether you choose the appointed lawyer or a private lawyer under the applicable conditions.

If you are convicted, you will normally have to pay the lawyer’s fee as part of the legal costs. The court determines the fee according to fixed rates, meaning the cost is independent of which lawyer you have chosen.

If you are acquitted, the state covers the lawyer’s fee.
