Common questions
I've been arrested — what should I do first?
You have the right to contact a lawyer. It is generally advisable to speak to one before giving a statement to the police. A criminal firm can attend the remand proceedings and apply for bail.
Can I get bail in Malaysia?
Many offences are bailable, and the court sets the amount. Some serious offences are non-bailable, where release is at the court's discretion. A criminal lawyer will advise on your specific charge.
Do criminal lawyers handle appeals?
Yes — criminal practice includes appeals to the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Federal Court. Ask the firm about their appellate experience.
