For complex cases that are difficult for ordinary lawyers to handle, we offer precise defense strategies:

Frequently Asked Criminal Questions (FAQ) – High-Risk Cases Section

Q1: Will I be locked up for violating the Business Accounting Act (falsifying accounts)? A: Article 71 of the Commercial Accounting Act stipulates that intentionally omitting accounting matters or manipulating financial statements is punishable by up to five years imprisonment. This is a non-prosecution offense and often overlaps with embezzlement and breach of trust under criminal law. If the amount involved is large or there is no willingness to settle, the risk of imprisonment is extremely high. However, if a lawyer can prove "no subjective intent" or secure probation, there is still a chance to avoid imprisonment.

Q2: If I am interviewed by the Investigation Bureau or the Independent Commission Against Corruption (in a corruption case), can I remain silent? A:Absolutely, and it is strongly advised to remain silent until a lawyer arrives. Corruption cases rely heavily on written statements, and investigators often use psychological tactics to elicit responses. Exercising your right to remain silent is your legal right and will not be considered an act of coercion. Please contact Fidelity Attorneys immediately to accompany you and verify the accuracy of the statement before signing it.

Q3: I am a foreigner. Will I be deported if convicted? A: Yes, it is highly likely. According to Taiwan's immigration laws, foreigners convicted of imprisonment for a term of more than one year may have their residency revoked and be deported. Therefore, the goal of defense in international cases is not only to "reduce the sentence," but also to strive for "not to prosecute" or "not guilty," or to communicate with the judge about the possibility of retaining residency. This requires highly specialized international criminal lawyers.

When freedom is threatened, act immediately.

Criminal cases offer no second chances; missing the golden period for defense during the investigation often leads to irreversible consequences. Let Fidelity's experienced criminal team be your strongest bulwark against the turbulent waves of the legal system.

How to choose a great criminal lawyer

Practical experience

The most important thing in criminal litigation is experience. The basis of claims during prosecution, the application of legal provisions, as well as the preparation of pleadings or defense statements during the litigation process, and the subsequent oral argument procedures all require sufficient practical experience to be able to handle them. And the ability to adapt to situations in court.

Willing to be attentive and responsible

Criminal proceedings are not just one hearing. In fact, there are often multiple hearings, preparatory procedures, investigation of evidence, interrogation of witnesses, and finally arguments. In the long litigation process, it is necessary to have dedicated and dedicated lawyers to assist , Only in this way can the rights and interests of the person concerned be truly protected.

Criminal Litigation Lawyer Recommendations

Criminal Law Major

If you have not received specialized training in criminal proceedings, you will not be able to figure out the context in complicated criminal proceedings, and therefore you will not be able to truly assist your clients. Criminal law is extremely professional, and whether it meets the constituent elements requires both theoretical and practical insights and requires professional evaluation.

Fight to the end

There will inevitably be favorable or unfavorable evidence in the litigation process. How to construct favorable claims and strategies based on the existing strong evidence and supported by practical insights or scholarly opinions requires fighting to the end and not giving up easily.

Criminal defense lawyer's first choice: What to do if you receive a summons or are taken away by the police? Mastering the key defense during the "golden investigation period".

Panic is a normal reaction when you or a family member receive a police summons, a district attorney's summons, or even a sudden arrest. However, in criminal proceedings, the **first three hours** often determine the final outcome of the case.

Criminal cases differ from civil disputes. If the testimony (record) is incorrect or unfavorable to you, it will be extremely difficult to overturn the case in court. Fidelity Law Firm's experienced team of criminal lawyers possesses extensive experience in accomplice investigations and defense, helping you maintain your defense during the investigation stage and strive for a non-prosecution or acquittal.

The three key stages of criminal investigation procedures

In criminal cases, we emphasize that "prevention is better than cure," and the earlier we intervene, the better it is for the parties involved.

1. The interrogation stage: The first statement that determines one's fate.

Police records are primary sources of information for prosecutors and judges in determining the facts of a case. Many parties involved mistakenly believe that "I can explain myself clearly," but they inadvertently admit to elements of a crime or say contradictory things.

• Lawyer's advice: Before going to the police station, be sure to consult a lawyer for a "case analysis". In case of emergency, you should insist on exercising your right to remain silent and wait for your lawyer to arrive and "accompany" you before speaking.

2. District Prosecutor's Office Investigation: The Core Battlefield for Winning a No-Prosecution Prosecution

After the case is transferred to the district prosecutor's office, the prosecutor will decide whether to "prosecute". This is the most crucial point of contention in criminal defense.

• Legal strategy: During this stage, we will actively draft criminal defense statements and present favorable evidence, with the goal of persuading the prosecutor to grant a "no prosecution" decision.or"Deferred prosecution" allows the case to end here, avoiding a lengthy court trial and leaving no criminal record.

3. Court Trial: Cross-examination and Courtroom Defense

If the case is unfortunately prosecuted and enters the trial process, the lawyer will review the case file (examine the prosecution's evidence), request the summons of witnesses for cross-examination, and cite practical insights to defend the defendant's innocence or reduce their sentence.

[Key Points] Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about Criminal Cases

Q1: If I receive a notice from the police station or a summons from the district prosecutor's office, can I refuse to go?

A: Do not ignore this. If you fail to appear without a valid reason, the police can request the prosecutor to issue an arrest warrant.You will be detained; if the district prosecutor's office fails to summon you, they may issue a warrant."Wanted". If the time is not compatible, you should call the handling unit as soon as possible to request leave and reschedule. It is recommended that you seek a lawyer to conduct a "case analysis" or appoint a lawyer to "accompany you during the interrogation" before going to the interrogation, in order to prevent unfavorable statements from leading to subsequent prosecution.

Q2: If a family member is taken away by the police or detained by the prosecutor, can a lawyer help with "bail"?

A: Yes. The "golden time" for hiring a lawyer is when a suspect is arrested or when a prosecutor requests their detention from the court.A lawyer can immediately accompany the client during questioning (escort duty) to ensure the client's rights; if the case faces a detention hearing, the lawyer will argue to the judge that detention is unnecessary and strive to secure the necessary legal representation."Release on bail" allows the person to regain their freedom as soon as possible and avoids long-term detention.

Q3: Will all criminal defendants have a prior criminal record? What is deferred prosecution?

A: Not necessarily. The primary goal of criminal defense is to secure a "no prosecution" decision during the investigation stage.orNeither a "deferred prosecution" nor any of these outcomes will leave a so-called "criminal record" (no record found on the good citizen certificate). Even if the case goes to trial, lawyers can still strive for an "acquittal" or "probation." Therefore, the strategic choices made in the early stages of a case are crucial and directly affect whether a criminal record will be left.
