You are a victim of an offense
Being a victim of an offense often involves facing a criminal procedure during a moment of great vulnerability. LG avocats supports you with seriousness, clarity, and discretion to assert your rights throughout the proceedings.
The Firm assists you notably in the steps related to filing a complaint, constituting yourself as a plaintiff, following the criminal procedure, and recognizing your civil claims.
You are accused
Facing a criminal accusation requires calm, method, and precision. LG avocats supports you from the very first acts of the procedure to ensure respect for your fundamental rights and build a defense adapted to your situation.
The Firm intervenes with a clear reading of the file, an analysis of the stakes, and a defense strategy proportionate to the risks involved.
Clear support at every stage of the procedure
Criminal proceedings are marked by decisive acts, hearings, deadlines, and decisions that must be approached methodically. LG avocats favors clear communication so that you can understand the stakes, risks, and options available to you.
This support allows you to approach each stage with greater clarity, whether the procedure involves a complaint, a hearing, an investigation, a criminal order, or a hearing before the competent authority.
LAVI Compensation
When an offense harms a person's physical, psychological, or sexual integrity, specific steps can be taken to obtain support and, in some cases, compensation provided by the LAVI.
LG avocats supports these steps when the criminal situation also presents issues of victim assistance, notably when the perpetrator is unknown, insolvent, or when the procedure requires coordination between several processes.
