Criminal

There is a Vietnamese proverb that says: "A client between his attorney and counselor is like a goose between two foxes", this has never been wrong. Whether you are a victim, a defendant, a person with related rights and interests, or a witness in a criminal case, being summoned or ordered to appear in Court is something that no one desires.

The Vietnamese Penal Code is a crucial law that has been developed and legalized over time in the country. It is the most comprehensive and well-organized local law that provides clear and logical connotations. Any individual, organization, or agency that violates the law and commits a crime will be held accountable under this law. The Criminal Procedure Code outlines the order, procedures, and process for handling criminal cases. Two sets of laws, one regulating content, one regulating form go together through the ages.

Currently, the role of lawyers in resolving criminal cases is becoming increasingly important and strictly protected. In criminal cases, lawyers perform different duties depending on their client's position. For defendants, lawyers defend their clients' rights and interests, while for victims, lawyers protect their legitimate rights and interests. Lawyers can also represent authorized representatives of people with related rights and obligations according to the law.

Throughout the years, we have appointed lawyers to defend and protect numerous clients in criminal cases at litigation agencies nationwide.

If you find yourself involved in a criminal case, especially if you are identified as a suspect from the beginning, it is important that you promptly consult with a lawyer. This will help protect your legal rights and, in many cases, ensure your right to silence as dictated by the law.

Whether your health, property, or honor is being violated or threatened with illegal violation, seeking advice from a lawyer on how to protect yourself within the boundaries of the law is crucial. Reporting any violations committed by others, and following the proper procedures for doing so, is necessary to ensure fairness and strictness in handling these situations.
