Situated in the heart of Tampere, we are easily accessible from all over the city. We can offer our services in English, and if needed hire a legal interpreter.

SERVICES
Criminal matters: We have wide-ranging experience in criminal cases assisting both the plaintiff and the defendant. We offer you a knowing advisor for the pretrial investigation at the police station, the trial in the district court and potentially later in the court of appeal, and make possible compensation applications for the state treasurer. We offer special support for children and adolescents.
Foreign affairs: In the past years we have had a significant amount of asylum seekers and applicants for residence permits, so we have extensive experience in the field and can offer help in nearly all cases. We also provide assistance with work-related immigration permits, family reunifications and citizenship applications.
Family law: We offer aid in various different instances related to family law. We can help in making prenuptial agreements and assist in divorce and division of property. In separation or divorce with children involved, we offer help with child contact, alimony and any other custody issues. In addition the services listed here, we also offer aid in disputes, title deeds, estate inventory deeds, last wills and testaments, and guardianships. If you are not sure if we can help you, you are always free to contact us by phone or email, or even drop by, and ask about your specific case.
Cost: The initial negotiation, in which we discuss the needs of the client and our capability of taking on the case, is always free of charge. We can give you a cost estimation during this meeting if needed. Our clients have the possibility of getting legal aid if the requirements for it are met, or have the fees paid partially or fully by their insurance. We assess the possibilities for both of these on behalf of the client, and file the necessary applications and notices.
