Criminal law
Our attorneys defend customers in both misdemeanour as well as criminal cases in extrajudicial and judicial proceedings in all courts. Our goal is to ascertain justifying and mitigating circumstances and those which preclude our customers’ liability, and to provide our customers all-inclusive legal assistance in criminal cases.
Our attorneys have extensive knowledge and experience in both defending the accused as well as in representing the victims.
