The most important tip in criminal law – Lexicon | Substances and colloquial language

REFUSE TO TESTIFY, CONTACT A LAWYER

The most important tip applies to drug law (Lexicon | Substances and colloquial language) just as it does to general criminal law: Accused persons should not testify. Indiscriminate statements usually lead to self-incrimination, which greatly complicates the defense’s subsequent work.

Instead, those affected should refuse to testify and immediately call H2 Attorneys at Law in Munich. The attorneys are available 24/7 via the emergency number. Our drug law specialists will develop a prudent trial strategy.

These considerations also include questions such as:

  • Is therapy considered instead of punishment under Section 35 of the Narcotics Act?
  • Can measures of reform and security be avoided?
  • Is the leniency program under Section 31 of the Narcotics Act suitable?
