Free consultation →What I will do for you
A victim in criminal proceedings has many procedural rights: proposing evidence, reviewing the case file, and claiming compensation. These rights are only effective with a good lawyer.
- ✓Representation from the criminal complaint through to the judgment
- ✓Claiming compensation in adhesion proceedings
- ✓Access to information about the progress of the case
- ✓Complaints against shelving the case or other police conduct
- ✓Compensation for crime victims (Act No. 45/2013 Coll.)
- ✓Complaint against shelving and a referral for review by the public prosecutor (Sections 157a and 159a(7) of the Criminal Procedure Code)
How to claim compensation in criminal proceedings
A victim can claim compensation for material damage, non-material harm, or unjust enrichment directly in criminal proceedings through what is known as an adhesion motion, at the latest by the main hearing. The advantage is that the court can award the claim together with a conviction, without the victim having to file a separate civil lawsuit. If the court does not award the claim or refers it to civil proceedings, I will prepare everything needed for that claim.
