Information Center — Questions and Answers

Which topics are covered in the information center?

The guides cover police investigations, detention, pre-indictment hearings, indictments, appeals, case closure, criminal records, and other topics. Each guide focuses on a particular issue.

Do the guides replace legal advice?

No. They provide an initial introduction only. A decision in a particular case requires examination of the facts and the law applicable at the relevant time.

Can I assume that all the information remains current?

According to the terms of use, the firm strives to keep information current, but legislation and case law change. Before making a decision, the position should be checked through individualized advice.

What should I do about an urgent matter or an approaching deadline?

Contact the firm directly by telephone at 052-8675433. Reading a guide or submitting a website inquiry does not suspend a legal deadline or guarantee a response within a particular time.
