CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYER · ICAM 140625
Discuss my case
Defending a criminal case requires an understanding of what is alleged against each person, the evidence supporting the prosecution and the questions that call for a response from the defence. My work as a lawyer combines that legal examination with an education in medicine, psychology and criminology, allowing a closer study of the technical documents in the proceedings.
This background is particularly useful where a case includes post-mortem reports, injury reports, psychological assessments, toxicological analyses or communications whose meaning is disputed. The aim is to turn knowledge of these subjects into defence decisions: what to investigate, which documents to compare and which questions need to be answered during the investigation and trial.
Representation is organised around the client's position in the proceedings and the decisions their case requires.
