Our initial advice
The sooner you consult a lawyer, the better represented you will be to obtain punishment for the perpetrator and compensation for your losses.
If you have been involved in an accident (road, sport, work, everyday life)
Do not sign or accept any offer of compensation from an insurance company or guarantee fund (FGTI, FGAO or CIVI) before seeking advice from a personal injury lawyer.
If you have been the victim of a crime or offence
Appoint a criminal lawyer as soon as possible to assist you when you lodge a complaint with the police, during interviews or confrontations, and to represent you as a civil party before the examining magistrate.
