Lorik Law Firm

Our aim is to use all legal means and methods of defence to protect our customers' rights and interests in Hungary, Budapest.

For most people, becoming a suspect or an accused is a one-off, or at least a very rare, life event, and therefore one about which they have limited information.
The suspect, the accused, is facing a whole apparatus of authorities. This situation often creates a feeling of vulnerability in our clients. Balancing this vulnerable, unequal situation is the primary task of the defence lawyer.

What is the role of a defence lawyer in Hungary?

In criminal proceedings, a defence lawyer or criminal lawyer is a person who acts solely in the interests of his or her clients. It is the duty of the defence counsel to use all legal means of defence in the interests of his client, to inform him of the legal means and methods of defence. It is the duty of the criminal lawyer to seek the discovery of facts which will save his client and mitigate his liability.

What is defender confidentiality?

What you tell your defence lawyer is not just a lawyer's secret, but a defence lawyer's secret. This means that communications between counsel and client cannot be disclosed by the counsel to anyone else, even if the attorney-client privilege has been waived by the client. This also applies to the first consultation, so you can tell your lawyer everything honestly at the first consultation.

Why hire a criminal defence lawyer?

Trying to face the justice system alone is a daunting task. Criminal law is often complex. Sometimes, not only criminal lawyers but even the courts are divided on a legal issue. It takes special expertise and experience to act as a defence lawyer in criminal proceedings. A criminal lawyer will help you to understand the subject of the charge in the event of an indictment, to express your views on it, to argue against the accusation or charge, to make comments and motions on the actions of the authorities. We will investigate the facts that may exonerate our clients and ensure that their rights are respected.
