What does this area cover?
It covers appearing before the criminal courts, appealing a judgment, taking a case to cassation and dealing with decisions made in absence.
Time limits are short, so the first step is always to confirm the date of the judgment.
How do you choose the right service?
If a hearing is coming, start with court representation. If a judgment has been given, start with the appeal or cassation service.
If a judgment was made in your absence, start with the absentia service.
