Criminal Law
Advice and representation for individuals facing criminal allegations or proceedings in Cyprus. We examine the circumstances, evidence and procedural position, and explain the steps needed to protect your legal interests.
Advice when an allegation arises
An allegation, request to attend an interview or receipt of court documents can require prompt legal attention. We discuss what has happened, identify the stage of the matter and advise on the immediate issues within the scope of our instructions. Early contact allows us to assess the position before important decisions are made.
Investigation, interviews and preparation
We advise on matters arising during criminal investigations and assist with preparation for interviews or procedural steps where instructed. We review available documents and consider relevant evidence, potential witnesses and the matters requiring clarification. Preserve existing records and obtain advice before taking action that may affect the case.
Court representation and defence strategy
Our litigation team represents clients in criminal proceedings. We analyse the allegations and evidence, discuss the available legal and procedural options and prepare the defence with attention to the circumstances of the case. The proposed strategy is explained clearly and reviewed as the proceedings develop.
Clear communication throughout the matter
We explain the work proposed, relevant hearing arrangements and the information needed from you. Sensitive matters are handled with discretion. Where an urgent deadline or hearing is approaching, tell us at first contact so that we can assess whether we are able to assist within the required time.
Frequently asked questions
When should I contact a lawyer?
Contact a lawyer promptly if you face an allegation, have been asked to attend an interview or have received court documents. Explain any appointment, hearing or deadline when making the enquiry.
What should I bring to the first discussion?
Bring the documents you have received, relevant correspondence and a clear account of events. Keep original records. Agree a suitable channel with our team before sending sensitive material.
Can you guarantee that charges will be withdrawn?
No. The outcome depends on the facts, evidence and applicable process. We explain the available options and risks after assessing the matter.
Does sending a message mean you are representing me?
No. Representation begins only after our firm confirms that it can act and agrees the engagement. If the matter is urgent, make the deadline clear and do not assume that an online message has been accepted as instructions.
Discuss a criminal matter
Contact our Limassol office to arrange an initial discussion. Please avoid sending sensitive documents before agreeing a suitable channel with our team. An enquiry does not by itself establish a lawyer–client relationship.
