What to Do If You Are Stopped or Detained in Serbia
In criminal and misdemeanor matters, time is critical. Call us immediately — by phone, WhatsApp or Viber — before signing any documents you do not fully understand. You have the right to a defense lawyer and to an interpreter. After the first contact we take over: we attend the questioning, communicate with the police, the prosecution and the court, and work to have the proceedings concluded as quickly as possible so you can continue your journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
I was stopped for an offense while in transit through Serbia — what should I expect?
Misdemeanor proceedings against foreign nationals are conducted urgently, and the driver is as a rule brought before a misdemeanor court within the shortest possible time. Hiring a lawyer immediately after being stopped helps speed up the proceedings, ensures your defense is properly presented and lets you continue your journey as soon as possible.
Can I leave Serbia before my case is concluded?
In many cases, yes — if you issue a power of attorney to a lawyer, the proceedings continue without your presence. We receive court documents, attend hearings and file legal remedies on your behalf, while keeping you regularly informed of the course and outcome of the case.
A family member has been arrested or detained in Serbia — how can you help?
Contact us immediately. The lawyer establishes contact with the police, the prosecution or the court, attends the questioning and takes all defense actions, including proposing milder measures instead of pre-trial custody. We keep the family regularly informed of every step, in English.
Do I have the right to an interpreter in Serbian courts?
Yes. Foreign nationals have the right to follow the proceedings in a language they understand, with a court-appointed interpreter. In addition, we communicate with you directly in English or German and cooperate with certified court translators for all documentation.
How do I pay for legal services from abroad?
Fees are agreed in advance, in accordance with the Serbian Attorney Tariff, so you know exactly how much a service costs before we start working. Payment is possible by standard international bank transfer.
