Criminal investigations

I defend clients involved in criminal investigations (« instruction pénale »), whether the offence at stake is a misdemeanor or a criminal offence, and whether the client is indicted, an assisted witness or a victim.


The criminal investigation phase is crucial, and I intend to play a very active role in supporting my clients' rights. I therefore analyze and, if need be, comment every decision taken by the investigating judge and ensure that my clients' rights are always respected.

I intervene at all stages of the criminal investigation, including but not limited to :

  • Preliminary examination
  • Applications to quash an investigation judge decision to indict someone
  • Requests to the investigation judge for the performance of various acts
  • Drafting observations on decisions taken by the investigation judge
  • Assisting my clients during hearings, confrontations and reconstructions
  • In the event that my client is in custody, requests for release from custody
  • Etc.
