Where can I find a criminal lawyer in Europe?

On 18, Feb 2013 | In Frequently Asked Questions | By: K. Canatan

You may need a criminal lawyer outside the Netherlands, for example if you or someone you know is being prosecuted there. After all, a Dutch lawyer usually only knows Dutch law.

Finding a criminal lawyer outside the Netherlands is not always easy. The European Criminal Bar Association has published a list of members on its website. Although the list says nothing about quality or reliability, the lawyers in question in any case assert that they handle criminal cases. The list is limited to Europe. In the end, you will have to decide for yourself which lawyer you think is suitable.

Of course it also happens that referees are bribed.
