Criminal Law
We represent you at every stage of criminal proceedings, from the pre-trial stage to the trial and legal remedies, whether as the accused or as the injured party.
Together with our network of associates, we handle representation at every stage of criminal proceedings. We undertake the drafting and filing of statements of defence, criminal complaints and appeals, as well as the commutation and instalment payment of sentences.
Criminal proceedings move through successive stages: the preliminary examination, the main judicial investigation where required, the trial before the competent court and, where necessary, the available remedies (appeal, cassation). At every stage, timely and targeted legal support is decisive for defending the rights of the defendant or the injured party.
