About criminal proceedings
When should a criminal lawyer be contacted?
As soon as a person receives a summons, learns of a complaint or prosecution, or when a victim needs advice on possible steps. Early review helps identify deadlines and the documents that should be preserved.
Does the Firm also assist victims?
Yes, where the law permits: review and follow-up of a complaint, participation in the proceedings and a civil claim or compensation request when the legal requirements are met.
Can a criminal judgment be appealed?
The available remedy depends on the type of decision, the date of the judgment or service, and the applicable time limits. The decision and any service documents should therefore be reviewed promptly.
Is the defence strategy fixed at the first meeting?
The first consultation identifies the procedural position and immediate priorities. The final strategy depends on access to the case file, the evidence and the subsequent development of the proceedings.
Have a criminal matter reviewed
Some stages of criminal proceedings may require action within strict time limits. An initial consultation helps identify the procedural position, review the available documents and determine the legal steps that may be considered.
