Criminal and Misdemeanor Law

Criminal and misdemeanor law govern the most sensitive areas – those that affect freedom, honor, property, and basic human rights. Whether you’re accused or injured, whether the police are calling you for an interview or proceedings are already being conducted against you in court, it’s crucial to have an experienced and skilled criminal law attorney by your side from the very beginning. Untimely or inadequate legal representation in this field can have long-term consequences – from imprisonment to fines and misdemeanor records, to loss of licenses, reputation, or rights. Our task is to provide you with full protection of your rights and interests, using the law to your advantage at all times.

Criminal Law – when You Need an Attorney:

• You’ve been arrested or called for an interview: Even if you think you’ve done nothing wrong, we advise you to not approach the police without an attorney present. The right to remain silent and have an attorney with you is your legal right. We will prepare you for the interview, attend the questioning, ensure your procedural position isn’t compromised, and prevent you from making statements that could harm your defense later. If you’ve already been detained by the police, we’re available for urgent engagement at all stages – from detention through custody to determining detention measures and initial hearings.
• An indictment has been filed against you: If the prosecution decides to file charges, depending on the severity of the offense, proceedings begin before the competent court (basic or higher). At this stage, your defense is formulated, evidence is gathered, witnesses are examined, and strategy is defined. Defense is not just a formality – it’s the key to an acquittal or reduced sentence. In conducting criminal proceedings, our office places special emphasis on an analytical and strategic approach.
• You want to defend yourself while free: If you’ve been detained, we file appeals and proposals for lifting or replacing measures, such as house arrest, bail, restraining orders, and similar. We don’t give up until we’ve exhausted all legal possibilities for the client to remain free during the proceedings.
• You’re in court as a victim: If you’re a victim of a crime – whether physically attacked, defrauded, injured in a traffic accident, or your honor and reputation have been damaged – you have the right to file a private lawsuit or join the proceedings as an injured party. We represent you as a private prosecutor or attorney for the injured party, demanding criminal prosecution of the perpetrator, as well as compensation through civil or criminal proceedings.
• Criminal acts at work, in traffic, in the family: Many of our cases involve crimes committed in everyday life – physical assault, domestic violence, security threats, theft, fraud, document forgery, abuse of official position, unauthorized possession of weapons, traffic accidents with injuries, drunk driving, and more. In each area, we provide detailed legal assistance and representation.

• Municipal and public misdemeanors: noise, disturbing public order and peace, violations of the Law on Public Order and Peace and municipal regulations.
• Corporate misdemeanors: If your company has violated regulations (e.g., labor, workplace safety, consumer protection, inspection supervision), we can represent you before the competent authorities, including the Ministry of Labor and market inspections.
