Criminal Law

The situation

A relative received a summons related to an alleged online investment scam. The family panicked, considered ignoring the summons, and did not know what to say if questioned. Early misstatements risked worsening the case.

How we approach it

We explained the stage of proceedings, the right to counsel, and how to cooperate lawfully without guessing facts. We prepared the client for the interview, reviewed available documents, and monitored whether they were a witness, person held, or accused — adjusting strategy as the file developed.

Possible outcome

The client attended with counsel, gave consistent statements based on what they actually knew, and avoided self-incriminating speculation. The family had a clear channel for updates as investigation continued.

The situation

After a falling-out, one partner reported the other for allegedly misusing company money. Police opened a file. The accused needed counsel before the first interview and feared a civil dispute becoming criminal.

How we approach it

We reviewed ledgers and messages, prepared the client for lawful statements, and separated accounting disagreements from criminal elements while protecting procedural rights.

Possible outcome

With clearer documents, the parties moved toward a civil settlement track while the criminal assessment followed the actual evidence — not panic admissions.
