Accused of a crime?

As a suspect in a criminal case you may face prosecution with potentially far-reaching consequences. Our lawyers will assess and review your case rapidly and with expertise. We represent private individuals as well as companies in complex (international) criminal cases.
We examine whether further investigation is necessary, such as the hearing of witnesses and/or experts. For this purpose our lawyers have a network of experts, among which doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, forensic accountants and private investigators.
If it is possible to prevent an appearance before the criminal court, we are able to arrange this for you. If you are being held in pre-trial detention, we will follow the required procedures fast and accurately, in order to secure your freedom at the first possible moment. Our law firm has an exceptional experience in challenging INTERPOL alerts.   
All cases will be handled with the utmost care by lawyers specialized in criminal law and extradition law.
