Criminal and Misdemeanor Law Attorney

Attorney services, criminal offenses, and misdemeanors

As attorneys in Slovenia, we perform legal services in accordance with the provisions of the Slovenian Attorney's Act. We provide legal advice to our clients and represent and defend them in the field of criminal and misdemeanor law in Slovenia.

In criminal proceedings in Slovenia, representation by an attorney is not always mandatory, but due to the principle of so-called "inequality of arms" in the proceedings, it is recommended. The presumption of innocence applies, the accused is not obliged to defend themselves and answer questions, they do not have to prove their innocence, it is the responsibility of the prosecutor to prove their guilt. The court must correctly and completely determine the actual state of affairs ex officio, present both incriminating and exonerating evidence. The public prosecutor must also strive to present evidence that will lead to the discovery of material truth.

However, in practice, the determination of the actual state of affairs and proving guilt, especially if the accused is without a defender, does not always follow the described principles, and because the accused faces a party i.e. prosecutor, police, and state apparatus, with theoretically unlimited financial and technical possibilities, they are fundamentally in an unequal and worse position from the outset of the process. Since they are usually legally ignorant, they will have difficulty defending themselves and enforcing their rights without the appropriate legal aid of a defender or a criminal law attorney.

The right to a defense with a lawyer (legal aid) is one of the fundamental rights of the accused in criminal proceedings, its violation represents one of the most serious violations of the criminal procedure!

You can authorize a criminal law attorney in connection with a criminal procedure for, for example:

Legal advice and representation:

  • Legal advice (for example, in relation to the criminal legal aspect of economic affairs)
  • Negotiations and conclusion of agreements (for example, with the public prosecutor about admitting guilt)
