Pre-trial detention
If you are held in pre-trial detention.
Pre-trial detention affects both you and those close to you. Your lawyer helps with communication, information and the next steps.
01
Visits and regular communication
Your lawyer arranges visits and communication as soon as practicable after taking on the case. Frequency and practical arrangements depend on the case and detention facility.
02
Contact with your family
With your agreement, the office can assist with practical information and family communication, including visiting arrangements and restrictions.
03
As your case progresses
You receive advice on court hearings, extensions of detention and, where grounds exist, challenging the deprivation of liberty.
