Offences against personal liberty

Crime of coercion

The crime of coercion occurs when a person, through violence or intimidation, prevents another from doing what the law does not prohibit or forces them to do something against their will. This conduct directly violates individual liberty and can have significant legal consequences.

As a criminal defense attorney, I offer specialized advice and representation in cases of coercion, both in protecting victims and defending those under investigation or accused. Each case requires a precise analysis of the facts, context, and evidence to ensure an effective legal response tailored to each situation.

If you are facing a case of coercion, whether as a victim or as a party involved in criminal proceedings, it is crucial to act quickly. Having legal counsel from the outset can make all the difference in how the process unfolds. My commitment is to offer you attentive, confidential service and a strong defense, supporting you every step of the way with professionalism and determination.
