Acute situations

The police called me

Take a breath. A phone call alone changes nothing — you have time to decide how to respond.

Summons to give an explanation

Giving an explanation is not a formality. What you say can carry real weight — so do not go without a lawyer.

The police came to the company

Stay calm and do not obstruct. Your job now is to observe and record carefully — not to improvise.

House search — what to do

It is distressing, but it follows firm rules. Do not obstruct the search and focus on observing everything precisely.

The police seized my phone or computer

Your device is now out of your control. What matters is getting proof of the seizure and protecting your accounts.

A criminal prosecution has been started against me

From now you are charged and have full defence rights. It is not a verdict — it is the start of a process where the presumption of innocence applies.

How to get through the first day of a criminal case

The first day is usually the hardest. You do not have to solve everything at once — a few right steps and not making things worse is enough.
