Three main areas, one common approach: understand your situation, identify the legal levers, defend you with method.
When a road accident, an assault or medical malpractice disrupts a life, recovery also goes through compensation. I assist victims at every stage: medical-legal file, assessment of damages (physical, economic, moral, aesthetic, loss of enjoyment), negotiation with insurance companies, and litigation before the CIVI or civil courts.
Civil law permeates every act of life: contracts, banking relationships, family or estate disputes. I draft, review, negotiate and, if necessary, plead to defend your interests. My activity also includes judicial protection of minors and specialized counsel in animal law.
During police custody, before the investigating judge, at the criminal court, in immediate appearance or before the Assizes: criminal defense requires immediate availability and complete mastery of procedure. As a member of the Luxembourg Association of Criminal Law Attorneys (ALAP), I act on both sides of the border.
Some cases sit at the intersection of several branches of law, or call for a sharper expertise. Below are the complementary skills I regularly draw on:
The French Badinter Act provides a 10-year limitation period, but it is advisable to start proceedings as soon as medical consolidation is reached. The initial insurance offer is often below the actual damage. The firm assists victims at every stage, from medical assessment to litigation before the CIVI if necessary.
Yes, it is even recommended. A personal injury attorney reviews each component of the damage (permanent impairment, pain and suffering, aesthetic damage, loss of opportunity) and negotiates a counter-offer or a contradictory medical assessment if needed.
Ideally before signing, for any significant commitment: commercial contract, lease, acknowledgment of debt, employment contract with specific clauses. A preventive review costs significantly less than subsequent litigation.
Attorney assistance is a right and strongly recommended from the time of summons, whether in educational proceedings (Art. 375 of the French Civil Code) or in juvenile criminal matters. The firm practices in Metz and Luxembourg.
No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is strongly advised to wait for your counsel before making any statement. The firm is reachable at +33 3 87 75 26 95.
At the end of police custody, the prosecutor may bring the case before the criminal court the same day or within three days. Attorney representation is mandatory. Given the short preparation time, responsive counsel is decisive for the defense.
First consultation free. Often a chance to get clarity — even without opening a file.
