The arrest of Vito Shukrula, lawyer for Ridouan Taghi, has hit like a bomb with fellow criminal lawyers. Well-known criminal lawyer Peter Plasman has been equally "shocked and bewildered" by the news. ,,It is of course only a suspicion, but after all the commotion you may assume that the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) will not act overnight. The OM will think they have a strong case. For now, I assume the prosecution has thought carefully about this arrest. Arresting a lawyer is a very heavy step.'' Plasman also cannot get over the fact that a lawyer seems to have once again functioned as an errand boy.

Will a pedometer provide a definitive answer to the death of 30-year-old Laura from Leiden?

Let the Public Prosecutor's Office handle the lighter cases itself. Then judges can focus on the heavier cases so that there are enough cells for the convicts who really belong there, argues attorney Peter Plasman.

Hart voor Den Haag front man Richard de Mos has had his lawyer Peter Plasman file charges against the editors of newspaper Trouw (DPG Media), who recently published a libelous and defamatory article about De Mos.

She is tired of being called a cult leader over and over again. After all, according to her, Our Living Room is not a cult at all, but merely a group of friends who enjoy delving into the spiritual. That's all. Reason why Erna Ernst has now hired a lawyer. Bottom line: she wants the police to investigate. She breaks the silence and tells her story for the first time. But Erna Ernst doesn't leave it at that. She seeks higher ground. Her counsel Jordi L'Homme of the renowned firm Kötter, L'Homme and Plasman Lawyers in Amsterdam reports that he is starting so-called Article 12 proceedings via a special complaint.

Despite an emphatic and repeated appeal, almost a supplication, two dentists from Steenwijk failed today to come closer together. They have been in fierce conflict with each other for years. A rock-hard feud, the chairman of the Regional Disciplinary Tribunal for Health Care in Zwolle calls the matter bluntly. ''That's not good for patient care.'' That led to the question: what will it take to stop this? Attorney Peter Plasman, who is assisting the indicted dentist, already had the answer ready. The renowned criminal lawyer was hired for this very job - his second disciplinary case ever - to try to put an end to the situation.
