CRIMINAL LAW

Criminal law directly concerns fundamental rights and freedoms and therefore requires careful legal assessment at every stage of the proceedings. Erikel & Partners represents its clients throughout criminal investigations and proceedings, with particular attention to the protection of their rights and the safeguards arising from the right to a fair trial.

The firm provides legal assistance to suspects, defendants, victims, complainants and participating parties from the investigation stage until the conclusion of the proceedings. Its services include representation during statements and questioning, applications and objections concerning arrest, detention and pre-trial detention, the assessment and submission of evidence, representation in criminal proceedings, and the preparation and conduct of appeals before regional courts of appeal and the Court of Cassation. For victims and persons affected by an offence, the firm also provides representation from the filing of a criminal complaint through to the conclusion of the proceedings.
