Only criminal cases.

Defence Advocaten provides specialised criminal law assistance, in Rotterdam and in the rest of the country. Our firm is built around a team of criminal defence lawyers who focus entirely on criminal law and who stand out in that field through sharpness, speed and commitment. We do not settle for a standard approach where the case asks for more.

In criminal proceedings, our clients' most vulnerable interests are at stake: their freedom, their reputation and their future. That obliges us to take on every case file immediately and thoroughly, to weigh every procedural choice closely and to act quickly when the case calls for it. We choose our strategy on the basis of what really counts for the client, and not on the basis of habit. In that, our clients can rely on lawyers who are available and who genuinely stand beside them, even when the pressure is high.

Standing up effectively for our clients is not only our profession, it is what drives us. That combination of specialist knowledge, decisiveness and personal commitment makes Defence Advocaten the firm that clients in Rotterdam and in the rest of the country turn to when it counts.
