Attorney – Criminal Cases

Our law firm has assisted numerous clients in the field of civil law, and we are acutely aware of the conduct required of a competent attorney. A criminal case comprises several stages, but our assistance is invaluable from the very first, crucial stage of the preparatory proceedings. We specialize in criminal law, and our thorough knowledge of regulations and extensive experience enable us to take appropriate actions regardless of the complexity of the case.

Our extensive experience allows us to operate efficiently both in cases requiring swift action and in multi-stage litigation where a consistently executed strategy is crucial.

We offer services in the following areas:

• offenses against property, health, and life,
• offenses against sexual freedom,
• medical malpractice,
• offenses against the credibility of documents,
• drug-related offenses,
• offenses against the administration of justice,
• traffic offenses, driving under the influence,
• offenses related to fiscal criminal law,
• offenses against public order,
• fiscal offenses and many others.

As part of our legal services, we also handle cases requiring a criminal defense attorney and support clients in matters related to criminal, economic, and property liability, including debt recovery cases.

Our objective in conducting proceedings is always to avoid imprisonment for our clients or to minimize its severity with the assistance of an experienced criminal law attorney. Criminal cases necessitate collaboration among attorneys, a team of lawyers, or legal advisors, which is why our firm, Haber & Haber, includes all of these specialists.

We also analyze the possibility of applying measures such as conditional discontinuance of proceedings, if the circumstances of the case and the client's situation allow for pursuing a more lenient conclusion to the proceedings.

Each criminal case is unique, requiring swift action and professional expertise. As criminal defense attorneys in Gdańsk, we prioritize such cases, offering comprehensive support at every stage of the proceedings: from the initiation of the case, through defense preparation, to evidence collection. Our law firm (a member of the district bar council) ensures complete confidentiality, which is crucial in handling criminal cases, procedural criminal law, especially in cases of economic crimes or conditional early release.

We guarantee timeliness and insight into the current status of the case, which is essential given the severity of penalties, as well as the commitment often associated with the necessity of presence at key moments of the case. In many situations, the mere presence of an attorney during interrogation, detention, or court hearings increases the procedural security of the client and helps avoid rash actions.

Our legal services guarantee effectiveness to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. We uphold professional secrecy, offering the professional defense that every client needs in a challenging legal situation.
