Criminal Law

Criminal law applies to individuals prosecuted for crimes, misdemeanours or offences (drug-related offences, assault and battery, homicide, harassment, theft, fraud, embezzlement, road traffic offences, etc.).

It also concerns victims of criminal offences who wish to obtain compensation.

When a client is confronted with criminal law, whether as an alleged offender or as a victim, they may face a complex situation, both legally and personally. In such circumstances, legal support is therefore essential.
