Crimes against the Person

Charges of armed assault, aggravated assault and homicide are among the most serious in the field of criminal law. They are punishable by long prison sentences and, depending on their nature, can also result in strong media coverage. For these reasons, having a team of experienced criminal lawyers at your side is of great importance.

Sexual Crimes: Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Etc.
