MUSE AVOCATS defends you at every stage of criminal proceedings, whether you are the victim of an offence or a suspected offender.
From police custody onwards, when there is a suspicion that an offence has been committed, we provide you with advice and assistance during interviews.

Prison and enforcement law
and for the enforcement of sentences
Serving a sentence, particularly in a closed environment (prison, semi-liberty, electronic bracelet), requires constant supervision by both the administration and the inter-regional prison services department.
This supervision ensures that the detainee's rights are respected.
Your lawyer is your key contact when dealing with the Sentence Enforcement Judge.
Even in an open environment (conditional release, suspended sentence with probation), the successful execution of a criminal sentence requires constant adaptation of the penalty to your personal situation.
Your lawyer's assistance does not, and must not, end with the judgment. Your lawyers will support you right through to the end of the proceedings.

Because running a business is increasingly regulated, and the scope of penalties is growing, it is important to be able to rely on sound advice to avoid any potential infringement of the law.
MUSE AVOCATS provides highly detailed audits to prevent these risks.
General criminal law
We can accurately determine whether you could be charged for an act likely to be classified as a criminal offence, for all types of offences (personal injury, drug trafficking, theft, terrorism, forgery, etc.).
