Our law firm defends both defendants (individuals and corporate bodies) and victims of crime before the criminal courts. These are mainly foreign clients who do not speak French and are unfamiliar with French law. Assisting these clients requires special attention and an understanding of the specificities of their country of origin, to ensure the best possible defense in court.   In criminal law cases, our firm assists clients at all stages of the proceedings (police custody, interrogations, investigative acts, hearings).   Our firm also provides legal assistance to victims, whether companies or individuals. In particular, we assist people who have suffered loss as a result of fraud. Our assistance begins with the filing of a complaint and ends with obtaining a court decision on damages and the recovery of compensation.   In the field of criminal business law, our firm has gained experience in cases of money laundering, misappropriation of corporate assets and corruption, both on behalf of defendants and on behalf of natural or legal persons who have been the victims of such acts and wish to lodge a complaint.   We also have experience of extradition to and from France.
Our expertise includes
  • When assisting a victim, determining the competent criminal or civil jurisdiction prior to filing a complaint.
  • Drafting of criminal complaints and representation before criminal courts.
  • Accompanying a respondent summoned by the police or investigating magistrate.
  • Helping the inmate's family obtain permission to visit and communicate.
  • Applications for release of detainees, particularly those with no ties in France, pending trial.
  • Assistance in arranging prison sentences, particularly parole for foreign nationals.
  • Representation before the criminal courts in cases involving damage to the honor and reputation of a person or company.
