SWISS VIOLENT CRIMES ATTORNEY DEFENDING U.S. INDIVIDUALS IN GENEVA
Hire a Former Prosecutor to Defend Yourself against a Violent Crime Investigation in Geneva
Criminal charges involving violence are some of the most aggressively pursued and harshly punished in Switzerland. Almost systematically, criminal offences associated with using force or the threat of force against another individual are treated as felonies. The mere accusation of committing a violent act can ruin one's career, relationships, and reputation. The full impact of a conviction can have real devastating effects with a wide range of penalties including jail time.
If you are a U.S. national or U.S. resident suspected of, or charged with, a violent crime in Geneva or Switzerland, the police and prosecution will use every available resource at their disposal to get a conviction. Oftentimes, you may even find yourself being wrongly accused of an offence you did not commit. This makes it critical that you avoid making any statements before consulting an experienced Swiss violent crimes attorney who can properly assist you and be equally aggressive in crafting your defense.
