Every legal problem is a heavy burden for a person. Whether it is a police summons, a divorce, a inheritance dispute, or tax proceedings – at our firm, you will find an expert who will help you navigate the situation and find a solution. We are here for you. We act swiftly, transparently, and with maximum commitment.

Criminal Law

Criminal proceedings are exceptionally stressful for anyone involved. Whether you have been summoned for questioning, are facing charges, or have become a victim of a crime – you need someone to stand up for you immediately.


How we can help you:

 

  • Defense in criminal proceedings – from the initial suspicion through to the final verdict.
  • Representation of victims – we will help you claim and recover damages.
  • Drafting criminal complaints – we know exactly what they must contain to be effective.
  • Immediate assistance upon arrest – we are available 24 hours a day.
  • Analysis of evidence and identification of procedural errors made by the police.

 

Thanks to our extensive background in criminal investigation, we can accurately anticipate the next steps of law enforcement authorities and prepare a tailored defense.

Civil Law

Disputes between individuals, neighborhood conflicts, debt collection, or inheritance matters – all of these fall under civil law. We will help you protect your interests and your property.


How we can help you:

  • Debt collection and recovery of outstanding amounts.
  • Representation in disputes over damages and compensation.
  • Neighborhood disputes and the protection of property rights.
  • Inheritance proceedings – we will advise you on how to proceed with inheritance, whether involving a will or intestate succession (by law).
  • Drafting and reviewing contracts (purchase, donation, lease agreements, and others).

Inheritance is often complex for a layperson. We will explain what you are entitled to, how to defend against an invalid will, and what to do if you have been disinherited.

Family Law

Family matters are among the most sensitive. Divorce, child custody, or alimony – these situations are not just about the law, but also about deep emotions. That is precisely why you need an attorney who is not only an expert but also an empathetic professional.


How we can help you:

  • Divorces – both uncontested (by agreement) and contested.
  • Arrangements for the custody of minor children.
  • Determination and modification of child support (alimony).
  • Settlement of community property of spouses (BSM).
  • Representation in disputes regarding the determination of paternity.

We approach each case individually and with sensitivity. Our priority is to protect the children and find a solution that is sustainable for everyone in the long run.

Administrative Law

If you are in a dispute with a public authority, you need someone who knows their procedures and can navigate them effectively. Whether it involves a fine, building proceedings, or a misdemeanor ruling – we are ready to represent you.


How we can help you:

  • Representation in misdemeanor proceedings (traffic violations, offenses against property, etc.).
  • Appealing decisions issued by administrative authorities.
  • Submissions for the registration of data in the Land Registry (Kataster).
  • Representation in proceedings before inspectorates and government offices.
  • Administrative lawsuits and judicial review of administrative decisions by a court.

Thanks to our extensive experience, we can quickly identify procedural errors made by authorities and use them to your advantage.

Tax Law

Tax audits and proceedings can be incredibly stressful. If the tax administrator has initiated proceedings against you, or if you disagree with an assessed tax, we can help. We specialize in the procedural side of tax law.


How we can help you:

  • Representation during tax audits.
  • Appeals against decisions of the tax administrator.
  • Representation in proceedings before the Financial Directorate of the Slovak Republic.
  • Drafting submissions and statements in tax matters.
