The Popelin team is ready to assist anyone in need of a trustworthy and expert lawyer.
Decades of
experience in law
Our team covers different specializations. This way, you can always count on the best lawyer to defend your case.
General
criminal law
Our law firm defends your interests in criminal cases and offers you a customized approach based on whether you are an offender or a victim. In both cases, it is crucial to thoroughly inform yourself at an early stage. You can always rely on us for expert advice.
The firm provides assistance to you as an offender in all stages of the process (initial interrogation, interrogation by the investigating magistrate, criminal court, Court of Appeal, ...) or guides you as a victim throughout the investigation and substantive hearings, as well as in the settlement of civil interests.
Special criminal law
Popelin keeps a close eye on developments in the field of criminal environmental law.
With expertise in complex and evolving environmental regulations, we provide expert advice and legal assistance to individuals and organizations facing, or suspected of, environmental offenses.
Considering recent legal developments and societal trends, such offenses are more likely to face prosecution and brought before criminal courts.
In cases of suspected financial crimes, Popelin is prepared to provide you and your organization with the necessary expertise. This specialized legal team understands the complexity of financial offenses and offers comprehensive assistance to protect your interests.
From misuse of corporate assets to bankruptcy offenses, money laundering, fraud, and breach of trust, Popelin has in-depth knowledge of financial and economic criminal law. We can assist you in thoroughly analyzing your case, understanding your rights, and developing a thoughtful strategy to defend your position.
Given that such offenses often carry significant penalties, swift action is crucial. Popelin Law Firm recognizes the importance of timely intervention and will do everything possible to bring your case to a successful conclusion.
When you are being prosecuted or have been convicted either domestically or internationally, Popelin law firm offers comprehensive assistance in handling such cases.
Through relationships with criminal law firms abroad, a thorough understanding of criminal law, and the firm's unique expertise in the field of criminal execution and detention conditions, our lawyers can provide you with optimal support in these cross-border proceedings.
There can be no new facts introduced in cassation. The Court of Cassation relies solely on facts established by the lower court. The procedure at the Court of Cassation is legally and technically complex, and it is conducted in writing.
The Court of Cassation can annul the judgment of the court (or tribunal) in whole or in part and refer the case for a new trial.
Over the years, Popelin has successfully represented defendants in numerous cassation proceedings.
Juvenile law
The firm provides assistance to both minors and parents who are facing a situation described as a problematic parenting situation or a situation in which their son/daughter has committed an act classified as a crime.
Family law
Our firm has particular expertise in family law. You can come to us for various problems concerning marriage, de facto cohabitation, divorce, de facto separation, child visitation arrangements, parentage and birth. We will always try to come to an amicable agreement. If this is not possible, we will assist you during the legal proceedings.
Road traffic law
Have you committed a traffic violation? Or have you been involved in a traffic accident as a victim? Our office can assist you. This assistance often comes at minimal cost, as legal aid insurance is frequently included in your insurance policy. We're happy to verify this for you.
