Our Criminal Law practice is mainly dedicated to defending against criminal charges against individuals and/or legal entities, both at the state and federal levels. The defense should start, whenever possible, from the investigative phase, which normally takes place in a police inquiry or before the Public Prosecution’s Office. Only then will the lawyers be fully able to study the case and provide the authorities involved with the best clarifications. Then, criminal action may include representation before the Judiciary, which includes the defense in a judicial lawsuit that starts at the first instance - that is, in a Criminal Court - and may reach, as the case may be, up to the Superior Courts (Superior Court of Justice and Supreme Court), in Brasília.
In addition to the defense, the office also has a strong role in representing victims of crimes. Citizens who have suffered from the commission of a crime may have their interests defended by a criminal lawyer who will act as an assistant to the Public Prosecution’s Office, that is, officiating together with the public prosecution. Depending on the case, the victim himself can file the lawsuit. Likewise, the most beneficial thing is that legal assistance starts from the preliminary stage of the investigation of evidence.
