We assist both victims and suspects, from the preliminary investigation stage on if need be, and in the trial later on.
When assisting the accused, we make sure that they receive due process. We also survey the possibilities of plea bargaining, in which the accused can get a mitigation to his or her sentence.
As to victims of crime, we help them with the demand for punishment and with the collecting of statutory compensations for damage.
We also help clients to sort out their possibilities of getting help towards the legal expenses. State legal aid (so-called cost-free legal proceedings) may pay for the legal expenses of a low-income person even in full.
Crime victims may receive compensation for their legal expenses out of home insurance or, by virtue of the law on criminal liability, from State Treasury funds.
