Criminal Law
Arel Law Office specializes in criminal law and criminal procedure law. Our experienced attorneys meticulously follow each stage of the process, from the beginning of the investigation to the conclusion of prosecution, representing clients with care and diligence. We act as defense counsel for the accused and as legal representatives for the complainant before the Magistrate Criminal Courts, Criminal Courts of First Instance, and Heavy Penal Courts.
Our firm actively handles all areas of criminal law, and its approach, client representation, and expertise have made it a recognized name in the field for many years.
We also provide legal services for appealing non-prosecution decisions issued by Public Prosecutors or detention decisions issued by the courts.
Our clients are represented in court for offenses including driving under the influence, traffic accidents, fraud, customs smuggling, fuel smuggling, violations of the Petroleum Market Law, tax evasion, tobacco smuggling, cigarette smuggling, and abuse of office.
In criminal law, the fundamental principles consist of legality in crime and punishment, and personal culpability. Whether an act constitutes a crime and what its punishment is falls within the scope of substantive criminal law.
In criminal proceedings, the roles of the accuser, the allegation or charge, and the accused or defendant come into play; however, there is not yet a conviction or convict, meaning no final judgment or sentenced person exists. This arises from the fundamental legal doctrine of the presumption of innocence. The presumption of innocence means that a person under prosecution for a crime is not considered guilty unless their guilt is established by a court decision.
Within this framework, Arel Law Office’s Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Department, staffed with legal professionals including academics, specializes in criminal law and criminal procedure law in light of the universal principles and fundamentals of law. The department provides effective and swift solutions in investigations, prosecutions, complaints, and lawsuits.
Our team’s years of experience in this field, combined with extensive knowledge of legislation and court decisions, allows them to successfully address hundreds of legal issues encountered in practice. By professionally applying this expertise while valuing human rights and freedoms, the team ensures meticulous, results-oriented, efficient, and effective legal services to the clients they represent.
