A preliminary investigation is the most critical stage of any criminal case. This is when investigators build the evidentiary base, interrogate witnesses, and make decisions that dictate the outcome of the entire process. A single careless word during an interrogation or signing a document without a lawyer present can lead to irreversible consequences.
Professional defense during the investigation stage is not a mere formality; it is the only effective tool to prevent the fabrication of evidence, protect your assets, and preserve your freedom.
The LEGAL HUB team provides robust and uncompromising representation during preliminary investigations in Yerevan and throughout Armenia. We protect the interests of businesses, foreign citizens, and top executives, ensuring that the nuances of local legislation and language barriers are not used against you.
Many make the fatal mistake of going to the first meeting with an investigator “just to answer a couple of questions” without a lawyer. Remember: law enforcement agencies are not on your side. Their goal is to send the case to court. Our goal is to dismantle the case before official charges are filed or achieve a complete termination of the criminal prosecution.
If you, your employees, or your business have attracted the interest of law enforcement, timely defense during the investigation stage will determine the outcome of the case. Do not waste time—contact the specialized lawyers at LEGAL HUB for immediate intervention.
A summons for an interrogation, a confrontation, or a sudden search raises many questions and justified anxiety. We have compiled the most frequent questions from our clients about how to properly navigate the preliminary investigation stage in Armenia.
Remember: any word you say can be used against you. Do not take risks—contact a specialized LEGAL HUB defense attorney to build a sound defense strategy from the very first minutes of interacting with law enforcement.
Absolutely. In investigative practice, a "witness" status often changes to a "suspect" status after the very first interrogation. The presence of a LEGAL HUB lawyer guarantees that no psychological pressure will be exerted on you, the investigator will not ask leading questions, and your statements will not be distorted in the protocol.
Yes. Under Article 65 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, no one is obliged to testify against themselves, their spouse, or close relatives. However, the right to remain silent must be used strategically so the investigation does not interpret it as an indirect admission of guilt. Right at the interrogation, your lawyer will advise you when it is better to remain silent and when to provide clear explanations.
Do not panic, and under no circumstances sign "confessional" documents in exchange for promises to let you go home. Investigators often bluff. An experienced lawyer will promptly assess the actual legal grounds for detention, appeal unlawful actions by officials, and prepare a well-founded motion to apply bail instead of arrest.
Yes, this is a crucial part of our work. Since investigations often have an accusatory bias, we conduct our own attorney investigation: we send official requests, interview defense witnesses, initiate independent audits and expert examinations, and then officially attach these exonerating materials to the criminal case file.
