Criminal law
Legal support for those involved in criminal proceedings, as a formal suspect or defendant, or an injured party: understanding the stage reached, what is expected of you and what you can do next.
02What it is
Understanding the process before acting.
Criminal proceedings are among the most demanding experiences a person can face. There may be notifications that are hard to understand, unfamiliar stages and decisions that should be made with proper information.
The firm supports those who need to defend themselves and those who need to make a complaint. The first step is always the same: listen to the case, read the available documents and explain in clear language where things stand and which routes are available.
03When to seek support
Situations where an early conversation helps
When you have received a notification and do not understand what it means.
When you have been called to give a statement or appear before an authority.
When you have been the victim of a crime and want to know how to complain and follow the proceedings.
When there is already a decision and you want to understand whether you can appeal.

06Frequently asked questions
Questions about criminal law
General answers. Your case may have particularities that only an assessment with the lawyer can clarify.
