Criminal Law
Our areas of practice also include advising, assisting and defending our clients in (commercial) criminal matters.
Due to the massive impact on the life of a defendant in criminal proceedings, it is advisable to include legal advice and guidance from the very beginning. We plan with our clients their defense strategy and make sure that the criminal proceedings are carried out correctly. We support our clients during hearings, during the examination of objections against a penalty order and defend them in court proceedings. We also prepare for our clients, upon request, an expert opinion in criminal law and or a second opinion regarding the ongoing criminal proceedings. If our clients are victims of a crime, we represent their interests and stand up for their rights.
