I am Bogdan Lamatic, attorney with the Bucharest Bar and more than 18 years of experience in criminal law. I intervene quickly in the case of a home search - at your home or at your company premises - to check the legality of the warrant and to make sure the procedure is followed correctly.
I am recognised by Legal 500 as a Next Generation Partner (White-Collar Crime).
This page is part of my criminal investigation services.
What I do for you
- I check the legality of the warrant issued by the judge for rights and liberties and the conditions under which the search was ordered (Articles 157-158 of the Criminal Procedure Code).
- I am present or guide you by phone throughout the search, to protect your rights.
- I verify compliance with the legal hours - a home search cannot start before 6:00 or after 20:00, with limited exceptions provided by law (Article 159 of the Criminal Procedure Code).
- I analyse the search record and the items seized, in order to identify any irregularities.
- Where appropriate, I file challenges or requests regarding the way the search was carried out.
What you should know during a search
- You have the right to be present, or to have a representative or an adult family member present.
- You can ask for your lawyer from this very moment - the judicial bodies must let you make contact.
- A copy of the search record must be left with the searched person.
What happens after the search
A search is usually followed by questioning and, in more serious cases, by a proposal for a preventive measure. If your phone or laptop was seized, the procedure continues with a computer search of the data.
