General criminal law
Common criminal law covers all offenses that occur in everyday life, whether misdemeanors or crimes, committed by individuals or professionals, with sometimes serious consequences on a personal, family, and professional level. Being involved in criminal proceedings is a difficult experience with multiple implications: deprivation of liberty, damage to reputation, financial penalties, or loss of employment.
