Criminal defence

In criminal matters the first hours weigh more than the last speech. We answer urgent calls, attend police interviews, and build the defence from the first minute of custody, because that is when your rights are most fragile.

What we handle

  • Assistance during police custody and interviews, at any hour
  • Defence during judicial investigations
  • Trial defence before the criminal courts
  • Road-traffic offences and licence matters
  • Victim representation and compensation claims

How we work

Urgent assistance is billed at a flat rate announced on the phone before we leave. For proceedings, you receive a written fee agreement per stage of the case (investigation, hearing, appeal) never a running meter you cannot see.
