Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm

Lawyers at Fidelity Law Firm advise that in similar cases, one should not only look at the news headlines, but also return to the evidence, legal requirements, procedural stages, and the client's actual objectives. If the case has entered the court, district prosecutor's office, investigation bureau, or negotiation process, the earlier the information is gathered, the more room for maneuver it will retain.

What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?

  • First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.
  • Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.
  • Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you receive a summons or are asked to speak with someone, do you need to hire a criminal lawyer first?

If you have already received a notice from the District Attorney's Office, the police station, or the court, it is recommended that you first organize the summons, case details, conversation records, and related documents, and have your lawyer assess the direction of the investigation, possible charges, and response strategies to avoid making unfavorable statements without knowing the legal consequences.

Is detention always a requirement for criminal cases?

Whether or not detention is necessary is usually related to the suspicion of a criminal suspect, the possibility of escape, the risk of collusion or destruction of evidence, and the seriousness of the case. In major criminal cases, financial crimes, corruption cases, or cases involving multiple accomplices, it is even more necessary to prepare specific materials as early as possible to explain that there is no need for detention.

What criminal cases can Fidelity Law Firm assist with?

Our firm can assist in criminal investigations, detention hearings, bail applications, criminal defense, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, corruption, securities and banking law, and other major criminal cases, and plan the defense strategy based on the case information.
