JURISDICTIONS

Criminal law

The criminal court assesses whether someone has committed a criminal offense and should be punished for it. True Lawyers is happy to assist you in the initial moments after your arrest, but also throughout the investigation or during your pre-trial detention. If you or a family member is suspected of a criminal offense or is facing criminal prosecution, we advise you to contact us immediately. It is essential that we are present, especially during the interrogations. After all, if you are detained on suspicion of a criminal offense, we strive to get you released as quickly as possible. If necessary, we will request a preliminary judicial investigation or submit a request for the lifting/suspension of your pre-trial detention. During the substantive hearing of your case, we will also argue for acquittal or seek to obtain a reduction in sentence. In addition to assisting suspects, we also help convicted persons who opt for conditional release, as well as persons who wish to be eligible for compensation after an acquittal.

In short, we provide assistance at every stage of the criminal proceedings: from the initial police interview to after the criminal court hearing. If no action is taken on your report (of a criminal offense), you can engage us to file a complaint for ‘non-prosecution’.
