## What she does

Annemarie Pietilä helps private individuals and businesses with Finnish legal matters, especially when clients need counsel in their own language. She represents clients in criminal and civil proceedings, at police interviews, and before other Finnish authorities. She also provides court interpretation between Finnish and Estonian.

Typical matters: criminal defense, police custody and interviews, family disputes, employment issues, debt problems, responding to court summons or police letters, and applying for Finnish state legal aid (oikeusapu).

## Finnish legal aid (oikeusapu)

Finland provides state-funded legal aid for residents with low income and assets. It can cover a lawyer's fees fully or partly in many criminal and civil cases. Serious criminal cases may include a state-funded defender regardless of income. Annemarie helps eligible clients apply through the legal aid office (oikeusaputoimisto).

## Police interview rights in Finland

Under Finnish law, a police interview must not begin before the requested defense counsel has arrived. Statements given before counsel arrives generally cannot be used against the suspect in court. A suspect may request a lawyer at the moment of interview without knowing one in advance; police must arrange contact.
