A lawyer (attorney) representing clients in administrative offense proceedings fights for the clients’ rights against the machinery of administrative authorities. They oversee the legality of the administrative body’s procedure, the correct application of laws and regulations, and the logical evaluation of the facts according to the administrative file. To do this, they utilize their knowledge of laws, judicial and administrative case law, and professional legal literature. OFFICIALS ARE OFTEN NOT TRAINED LAWYERS, and therefore a specialized attorney can be very helpful in your case.
Tasks of an Attorney – Lawyer in Administrative Offense Proceedings
The primary goal of the attorney is to PROVE THE INNOCENCE OF THE ACCUSED. Therefore, they seek evidence in their favor, dispute and refute evidence against them, ask appropriate questions to witnesses and victims, and utilize their perfect knowledge of laws and judicial case law.
In some cases, the evidence against the accused is difficult to challenge, and therefore the lawyer strives to ensure that the outcome of the administrative proceeding is at least as lenient as possible for the accused. This means that the attorney’s task is to ENSURE THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PENALTY AND AVOID LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES.

Choose a Lawyer – Attorney as Soon as Possible
Administrative offense proceedings go through several consecutive stages. For the best development of the client’s case, however, it is necessary for their attorney to be involved from the very beginning. In cases where an attorney joins the defense at a later stage, it may happen that it is no longer possible to help the client fully, but only to mitigate the impacts.
