Criminal law

Whether you are a suspect or a victim in a criminal prosecution scenario GMW Advocaten’s criminal lawyers are ready to take on your case, drawing on all resources and expertise available in-house.

Criminal law is one of the classical areas of law, always implying three parties: the Prosecutor’s Office, the judge and the defendant. More recently, victims are assigned a special role in the procedure. Whilst it seems quite unlikely, one may be involved in a criminal investigation or procedure unexpectedly. Cyber crime, pirate copying, false written statements, embezzlement and money laundering.You might also be a victim of such a crime.
