People look for a lawyer who shows good judgement based on the client’s requirements and needs.
In my daily practice, I act with integrity toward my clients, the people involved in a case and the values I cherish.
I strongly believe in the presumption of innocence. The outcome of a case depends on my commitment toward my client.
When a case sets out be a rocky road, I don’t hesitate to embark upon it. Taking shortcuts will only serve the system and cutting corners will help neither the client nor the justice.
The presumption of innocence is a fundamental justice principle. It protects citizens against wrongful convictions. I endorse the words of Éric Dupond-Moretti, a famous French criminal lawyer.
When an someone is acquitted, the justice inclines itself strictly before the rules of the Criminal Procedure Code with, as a corollary, the eventuality of letting free a guilty person who would otherwise be overlooked.
However, as long as people will be acquitted – including guilty people -, the real innocent will remain serene.

The presumption of innocence prevents the innocent from being wrongfully incarcerated. I defend this principle each and every day.
I accept legal aid assignments under certain circumstances. I also work pro bono on certain cases.
