Criminal law is about what actions are illegal and for which one can be punished, and how society reacts to offences. In a criminal case, it is the state, represented by the public prosecutor, who makes the accusation and must prove that the defendant has done what he is accused of. The defendant's rights are safeguarded by a defense attorney. The aggrieved party's rights can be safeguarded by an assistance lawyer.
The outcome is normally that one is either found guilty or acquitted. A guilty person can be sentenced to prison, detention, community punishment, juvenile punishment, a fine or loss of rights. Companies that are convicted may be subject to corporate penalties. If a defendant is acquitted, that person may be entitled to compensation for wrongful prosecution.
A legal aid lawyer is a lawyer who represents the victim in a criminal case. The task of the legal aid lawyer is to provide legal advice, guide and support the victim throughout the criminal process, and help to ensure that the victim's rights and claims are safeguarded. If compensation is to be claimed in the criminal case, it is the legal aid lawyer's job to do this.
A defense lawyer is the person who represents the accused in a criminal case. The role of the defense lawyer is to guide and safeguard the rights and interests of the accused, ensuring a fair trial and challenging the prosecution's evidence and arguments.
If you have become a suspect in a criminal case, you should contact a criminal lawyer who can protect your interests throughout the proceedings. Feel free to contact Insa advokater for a free assessment of your case.
When choosing a defense lawyer, you should look for a lawyer who has solid experience in criminal law, who shows understanding of your situation - and who talks to you in a way that you understand. It is important that you feel comfortable with your defense lawyer and trust that they will represent you well in the case.
If a criminal case ends in dismissal or acquittal, you may be entitled to compensation from the state for financial and non-financial burdens. This also applies if a previous judgment is revoked after reopening.
Damage or loss as a result of the police investigation can also provide grounds for compensation, depending on the specific case and after an overall assessment.
In some cases, persons who have been convicted can also claim compensation, if the person who has been convicted has suffered special or disproportionate damage as a result of the case.
As a rule, the state will cover your legal expenses in connection with a criminal case, but there are some exceptions. This is something we always inform you about initially before we enter into an assignment with you. You will always be informed in advance if you have to pay anything in your case.

Når politiet henlegger en straffesak, kan det oppleves frustrerende for de involverte partene. Norsk lov gir deg muligheten til å klage på en slik beslutning. Her er en veiledning om hvordan du bør gå frem.
Henleggelse innebærer at påtalemyndigheten beslutter å avslutte etterforskningen uten å ta ut tiltale eller utstede forelegg. Dette kan skyldes flere faktorer, som manglende bevis, at forholdet ikke anses som straffbart, eller at gjerningspersonen er ukjent. I noen tilfeller kan også ressursmangel føre til henleggelse.
Fornærmede, og i visse tilfeller også anmelderen, etterlatte og offentlige organer, kan ha rett til å klage på en henleggelse. Dersom politiet har henlagt saken, kan klagen rettes til statsadvokaten. Det er viktig å merke seg at det ikke er klagerett over statsadvokatens avgjørelse i en klagesak.
Klagefristen er tre uker fra det tidspunktet du mottok underretning om henleggelsen. For de som ikke har mottatt slik underretning, løper fristen fra det tidspunktet man fikk eller burde ha skaffet seg kjennskap til vedtaket.
Når du skal utforme en klage, bør du:
Det kan være fordelaktig å søke bistand fra en erfaren strafferettsadvokat for å sikre at klagen blir så solid som mulig.
Klagen skal sendes til den instansen som har truffet avgjørelsen du ønsker å klage på. Dersom politiet har henlagt saken, sendes klagen dit. Hvis statsadvokaten har truffet avgjørelsen, sendes klagen til statsadvokaten.
Når klagen er mottatt, vil overordnet påtalemyndighet vurdere saken på nytt. De kan enten opprettholde henleggelsen eller beslutte å gjenoppta etterforskningen. Du vil bli informert om utfallet av klagebehandlingen.
Å klage på en henleggelse kan være en kompleks prosess, men ved å følge riktig fremgangsmåte og søke profesjonell hjelp øker du sjansen for at saken din blir vurdert på nytt. Ønsker du bistand i din sak? Book gjerne et gratis møte med en av våre advokater her.

Drunk driving is a serious traffic offense that can have major consequences, both legal and personal, and in the worst case, it can lead to personal injury. If you have been caught drunk driving, it is important to understand your rights and obligations, and how a lawyer can help you through the process. In this article, we will give you an overview of what happens after a drunk driving conviction and why it may be a good idea to contact a lawyer who specializes in such cases.
Drunk driving means that you are driving a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content that exceeds the legal limit in Norway. The limit for drunk driving is 0.2 per mille. This means that even small amounts of alcohol can lead to an offence.
The limits also apply to drugs other than alcohol, and any possible influence can be assessed through a blood test or medical examination.
1. Stopped by the police
The police may stop you for a check if they suspect you are driving under the influence or are conducting routine checks. If you test positive for a breathalyzer test, you may be asked to take a blood sample to determine your exact blood alcohol level.
2. Confiscation of driving license
In most cases, the police will confiscate your driver's license on the spot if you have been caught driving under the influence of alcohol. The confiscation of your driver's license is temporary until a final decision is made in the case. The final length of the confiscation depends on the alcohol level and the severity of the situation.
You can always refuse to accept the seizure on the spot. The question of whether to seize will then be sent for legal consideration in court, and a judge will take a final position on whether the driver's license should be temporarily seized. A temporary seizure lasts until the case has been finally decided by the court in a substantive matter. As a starting point, we recommend that you refuse to accept the seizure if you are unsure of the situation, so that the question is tried in court. You can always change your mind and accept the seizure afterwards.
3. Charge and fine
You will receive a charge of drunk driving. This can result in fines, a suspension of your driver's license, and in some cases, imprisonment. The size of the fine and other consequences depend on the blood alcohol level, any damage you have caused, and whether you have previous convictions for similar violations.
4. Legal proceedings
For serious cases, the case may end up in court, where you can receive a sentence based on the circumstances surrounding the violation.
Being caught driving under the influence can have both short-term and long-term consequences:
A lawyer with experience in drunk driving can help you understand your rights and possibly get a reduced sentence. This may include:
The penalty for drunk driving varies with the blood alcohol level:
If the drunk driving has led to a traffic accident or injury to others, this will further increase the penalty.
Drunk driving is a serious offense that can have major consequences for both you and others. By contacting an experienced lawyer , you can get the help you need to handle the case in the best possible way. We at Insa lawyers have extensive experience with driver's license confiscation and drunk driving , and can assist you throughout the entire process, from the police investigation to a possible trial, and ensure that your rights are protected.
Remember that prevention is better than ending up in such a situation. Avoid getting behind the wheel if you have drunk alcohol, and take responsibility for your own safety and that of others on the road.
