Criminal defence
Fee guidance:custody assistance from €600
Urgent matters
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.
Typical cases
Custody assistance at 3am, case closed without charge Acquittal on assault charges after CCTV review Driving licence saved for a delivery driver Victim compensation tripled on appeal
