How does it work?
If you are interested in resolving your problem, please contact us by email, phone, or in person to arrange a meeting. Based on this meeting, we will jointly assess what type of assistance we can provide and agree on a joint procedure. You do not have to worry about anything, our help is confidential and nothing will happen without your consent.
Who is a victim of a crime and do I have to be in criminal proceedings?
At the time you come to us, you do not have to be a person with the status of an injured party in criminal proceedings. This means that you can come to us even before you start addressing your problem through criminal proceedings, and filing a police report may not even be necessary. It is up to our joint agreement and evaluation how we will resolve your case. You can just come for advice.
