Juvenile justice

When children are arrested by the police, the juvenile justice system applies. Different rules apply than for adults and there are also different sentencing options. We give appropriate advice to the minor and parents and assist the minor during the court proceedings.

.03

International criminal law

Do you have an outstanding sentence in another EU member state or are you still the subject of a criminal investigation in another EU member state in which you are a suspect? Then a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) may be issued against you. You can then be arrested within the European Union at the request of the Member State that is looking for you. If you are arrested in the Netherlands, we will do everything we can to ensure that your rights are safeguarded and we will see whether it is possible to stop the surrender or enforce a guarantee of return to the Netherlands.

.04

Certificate of good conduct

It is a reality that more and more professions require a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) in order to practice. For many, therefore, obtaining a VOG is of great importance, because without it you will be forced to look for another job.
