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.

Tijdens zittingsdag 6 in de strafzaak tegen ‘Walid’ hebben mr. Simcha Plas en mr. Jordi L’Homme betoogd dat Nederland geen rechtsmacht heeft over de tenlastegelegde mensensmokkel. Volgens de verdediging zijn de feiten volledig in Afrika gepleegd en ontbreekt een concreet aanknopingspunt met Nederland. Ook zou de identiteit van de verdachte niet vaststaan en schiet het bewijs tekort: getuigenverklaringen verschillen sterk en zouden beïnvloed kunnen zijn door sociale media.

Op NOS verscheen een artikel over een strafzaak waarin mr. Simcha Plas en mr. Jordi L’Homme bijstand verlenen aan een cliënt die wordt verdacht van grootschalige mensensmokkel. Het Openbaar Ministerie eist twintig jaar gevangenisstraf tegen een 42-jarige Eritreeër die volgens justitie leiding gaf aan een gewelddadige smokkelorganisatie. De verdachte ontkent betrokkenheid en zijn advocaten voeren aan dat Nederland geen rechtsmacht heeft.

In de rechtbank Rotterdam is 11 jaar cel en tbs geëist tegen twee Vlaardingse pleegouders die worden verdacht van extreem geweld tegen vier pleegkinderen. Het zwaarst getroffen meisje, nu 11 jaar, liep blijvend hersenletsel op en kan nooit meer zelfstandig leven. De officier van justitie spreekt van een zaak die “uniek is in haar gruwelijkheid”. De uitspraak volgt later.
