Criminal Law · Bulgaria
Criminal Defence Lawyer in Bulgaria
What you say in the first hours of a criminal case often decides its outcome. We provide defence from detention and the first interview through the pre-trial phase and trial, and we also represent victims of crime claiming compensation. Urgent matters are taken on at short notice.
How we can help
Detention and the first interview
Immediate attendance at the police station, advice before any statement is given, challenges to the 24- and 72-hour detention orders and protection of your rights during searches and seizures.
Pre-trial proceedings
Defence during the investigation: participation in interviews and expert examinations, evidentiary requests, objections to the charges and applications to terminate proceedings that lack evidence.
Custody and precautionary measures
Applications for release and for the replacement of detention with bail, house arrest or a signature undertaking, and appeals against measures restricting travel and work.
Trial defence and plea agreements
Full defence at trial, cross-examination, challenges to expert evidence, appeals and cassation, and — where it clearly serves the client — negotiation of a plea agreement with the prosecution.
Representation of victims
Constituting you as a private prosecutor or civil claimant, claiming compensation for injury and loss within the criminal case, and appealing refusals to open proceedings.
Fees
Initial legal consultation – €50, deductible from subsequent legal fees. After the consultation you receive a written scope of work and a fixed-fee proposal.
