Criminal Law

Representation before the criminal courts, misdemeanor and felony cases, cheque and financial crime matters, and defence before the Public Prosecution.

We provide comprehensive protection of our clients' rights before investigative authorities and the criminal courts, from the first moment of arrest through to final judgment. We believe a successful criminal defence begins early — long before the first hearing.

Matters we handle

  • Defence before the Public Prosecution: attending investigations with the accused and having pleas recorded in the file.
  • Financial crimes: forgery, breach of trust, fraud, and money laundering.
  • Offences against the person: homicide, bodily harm, and assault.
  • Cheque cases: defending bounced cheques and cheques issued in bad faith.
  • Cybercrime: online extortion, account hacking, and defamation.
  • Public funds offences: embezzlement, damage to public money, and bribery.
  • Litigation and appeals: drafting defence memoranda and challenges before the misdemeanor, felony and cassation courts.

How we work

  1. Urgent intervention: attending the investigation and checking the validity of arrest and search.
  2. File review: settling the correct legal characterisation and identifying grounds of nullity.
  3. Building the defence: ordering formal pleas ahead of substantive ones, and preparing evidence and expertise.
  4. Follow-through: release applications, appeal deadlines, and enforcement.
