Criminal Law
Representation of suspects, defendants, victims and intervening parties during investigation and trial.
In criminal law, the steps taken from the very first moment of an investigation can affect the entire process. In this area, defence of suspects and defendants and representation of victims are undertaken during both the investigation and trial stages. Reviewing the file, preparing for statements and hearings, and appeal procedures are followed carefully.
Investigation stage
Having a lawyer during statements and questioning helps a person act with knowledge of their rights. At this stage the file is reviewed, the statement is prepared and the necessary requests are submitted to the prosecutor.
Trial and hearings
After the indictment is accepted, attending hearings, assessing the evidence and preparing the defence form the core of this stage.
Victims of crime
Complaints, requests to join the proceedings and case follow-up are handled on behalf of victims.
