Avi Bitton Lawyers & Partners

Are you involved in a criminal case (homicide, assassination, murder …)?

Were you taken into custody at the police station or gendarmerie? Are you indicted by the investigating judge (“juge d’instruction”) or are you in pre-trial detention?

Our team of 10 lawyers and jurists have been defending those accused of crimes before the police, the investigating judge and the “Cour d’assises” for 20 years.

We plead before the “Cour d’assises” several times a year and we regularly obtain the release of accused persons placed in detention before trial. We very often intervene in the media at the request of the defendant to defend their reputation.
