The police often invite people “just to give some explanations”, saying it is minor and that they can go alone. Even before a prosecution begins, it is important to speak to a lawyer.

What a lawyer does
- Explains in what capacity you are summoned and what your rights are
- Helps you present the case coherently and responsibly from the start
- Accompanies and represents you at every stage
