The firm defends its individual and corporate clients who are involved in criminal proceedings.

We advise and defend both accused persons and victims, at every stage of the criminal justice process.

During the preliminary investigation, the firm can aid you in pressing charges by drafting and filing a complaint. The firm also assists clients held and questioned in police custody.

Applications to set aside procedural acts are subject to strict time limits, which is why the firm becomes involved from the first hours of the case.

We additionally aid our clients during pre-trial investigations, a discovery phase led by an investigating judge.

We also represent our clients before the trial courts, in guilty and non-guilty pleas, and after the verdict is reached to appeal the decision or reduce their criminal sentences. 

The firm regularly deals with misdemeanors and felony cases, in matters of crimes against persons and against property.
