Criminal Defence Lawyer in Austria for Foreign Nationals

Have you been accused of a crime in Austria?

You are neither an Austrian citizen nor resident in Austria and criminal proceedings have been initiated against you. In Austria, the Code of Criminal Procedure ensures that persons accused of a criminal offence must be informed of their rights without delay. These rights include the right to make a statement, the right to remain silent and the right to consult a defence lawyer. Prompt action is important, so please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible.

At Ibesich law we frequently act as defence lawyers for clients who are not residents or citizens of Austria and are facing legal challenges in Austria. We support during pre-trial proceedings, are representing defendants in court, and advise on criminal matters including the handling of appeals.

Legal representation for international clients by Ibesich Law

At Ibesich Law, we specialize in defending foreign nationals facing criminal charges in Austria. We will assist you in the following areas:

  • Pre-trail: Protection of your rights in the event of pre-trial detention and/or arrest, search warrants or seizure of property and documents.

  • Representation: Legal representation before criminal prosecution authorities, administrative authorities, public prosecutors and the Austrian courts.

  • Investigative proceedings: Safeguarding your rights during pre-trial proceedings and filing motions and appeals against orders or decisions, if necessary.

  • Appeals: Crafting and presentation of appeals.

Most of the international clients we represent as defence lawyers in Austria have been accused of

  • Drug Offenses: illegal use, handling, dealing or preparation to deal
  • Assault & Battery: physical violence resulting in bodily harm

Are you the victim of a crime in Austria?

If you have been the victim of a crime, we will assist you in the criminal proceedings against the defendant and in claiming your damages. We will submit statements to the Public Prosecutor’s Office an the competent Court on your behalf.

Victims of battery can seek compensation for pain, suffering and medical treatment. Following a criminal conviction, the Austrian courts can award damages which, if insufficient, require a civil action for additional sums. We are also happy to support you in civil proceedings.

Understanding Austria’s criminal justice system

Settlement (Diversion)

For certain criminal offences, criminal proceedings can end with a diversion agreement. This allows the defendant to take remedial action, such as financial compensation, instead of a conviction.

Probation or suspended sentences

Sentences can be unconditional or suspended with a certain probationary period. This always depends on the specific circumstances. Sentences can also be partially suspended.

As mentioned above, it is very important to act quickly if you are suspected of a crime or have become a victim of a crime in Austria. Get in touch with us. As experienced criminal defence lawyers and victim advocates, we will represent your rights quickly and unbureaucratically.
