Criminal Defense & Police Representation in Finland

If you are suspected of a crime or contacted by Finnish police, immediate legal representation is essential under the Finnish Criminal Procedure Act (laki oikeudenkäynnistä rikosasioissa).

Under Finnish law, you have the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel during police questioning. Criminal records in Finland are maintained by the Legal Register Centre and can affect employment, residence permits, and travel within the Schengen area.
