Why a victim advocate?

When you have been the victim of a crime, such as violent or sex crimes, the legal process that follows can be particularly complex and emotionally taxing. This is also true for survivors of persons killed by violence.

The legal system can often be intimidating and confusing, especially if you are not knowledgeable about your rights and legal procedures. Engaging a specialized victim advocate can make a world of difference during these difficult times. At Kötter, L'Homme & Plasman Lawyers, we understand the importance of providing expert and empathetic support to victims and survivors of crime. Our attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and supporting you through the entire legal process.

Why a victim advocate is essential

A victim advocate plays a fundamental role in the legal process following a crime. This role goes beyond simply providing legal assistance; it also includes emotional support and guidance throughout the legal process. From the time you report a crime to the court's verdict, a specialized victim advocate is there to ensure that your interests are represented and that you receive justice.

The lawyer you choose should not only be experienced in criminal law, but also have specific knowledge of violent and sexual assault cases. This is crucial because these types of crimes are often complex and require the lawyer to deal sensitively and expertly with the specific issues and emotions involved in such cases.

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.
