Other Services
In addition to family law legal services, our office offers other legal services such as:
For criminal offences punishable with imprisonment of under 5 years, the Law of Cyprus allows private legal entities to file their own criminal cases against the perpetrator. In the case of a guilty verdict, the offender is liable to receive any sentence he or she would receive in the event the case was handled by the public prosecution office of the Republic including imprisonment.
Our experience in criminal law combined with our sensitivity in family matters makes us ideal in representing clients in criminal proceedings both as defense counsels or representing and advising families in criminal offenses committed against or between them for example sexual offences. Anyone, may at some point in his life find himself accused of a criminal act and its consequences. Economic distress, a moment of weakness, use of alcohol or substances may lead to a criminal offence. We have the knowledge to handle the full spectrum of criminal cases such as bounced cheques, forgery, road accident criminal liability, sexual offences, illegal entry, assaults and use and supply of illegal substances. We approach each case with respect towards the client and sincerity. Our goal is always to achieve the perfect defense. With a careful study of the case file and a thorough client interview, we approach all cases with attention even towards the smallest detail always with the line of defense in mind.
Family courts are not the only jurisdiction of dispute between ex-spouses. Sometimes a legal battle between ex – spouses may be fought in more than one court jurisdiction. In domestic violence cases for example, we help victims apply to the District Court (criminal jurisdiction) seeking a court order ordering the offender to move out of the family home with immediate effect.
In situations where our clients’ name and credibility is damaged from false statements, publications and reports, we prepare and take to court defamation and/or slander actions against the person or organisation who has made or published the false statement and make sure our clients are fairly compensated. We also defend people who face significant claims from such statements or publications they have made or allowed to be made by their employees.
We have extensive experience in general litigation and represent our clients in selected cases. Feel free to ask us about your case.
