Criminal law
Assistance and defence in criminal proceedings, from the investigation stage through trial and enforcement of sentences — for those under investigation or charged, and for victims of crime.
What we handle
- Defence of suspects and defendants at every stage: preliminary investigations, preliminary hearing, trial and appeals.
- Assistance to victims: filing criminal complaints, joining proceedings as a civil party and claiming compensation.
- Gender-based and domestic violence: domestic abuse, stalking, sexual violence, unlawful sharing of sexually explicit images or videos, with the protections and protective measures of the so-called “Codice Rosso”.
- Other offences against the person (assault, threats, defamation).
- Property offences (theft, fraud, embezzlement, criminal damage).
- Road traffic offences: drink or drug driving, injuries and death caused by dangerous driving.
- Alternative procedures and probation: plea bargaining, summary trial, settlement by payment and suspension of proceedings with probation.
How we work
Timing matters in criminal cases. If you have received a notice of investigation, a criminal conviction decree, a summons or a request to appear, contact the firm as soon as possible: some steps must be taken within short deadlines.
In cases of gender-based and domestic violence, victims can be assisted from the initial report and in requesting protective measures. In immediate danger call 112; the anti-violence helpline 1522 is free and available 24/7.
For proceedings involving minors see Juvenile law; for the stage after sentencing see Sentence enforcement and prison law.
