Criminal law in Venice

Defence for suspects and defendants, and representation for victims, in proceedings taking place in Venice, handled personally from the studio in Pistoia.

How I work

A lawyer admitted to an Italian bar can appear before every court and court of appeal in the country. That is why I also take proceedings outside the Pistoia jurisdiction, from the first step to appeal.

At urgent stages, such as questioning, an arrest or a precautionary measure, I arrange the necessary presence straight away. Reading the file and building the defence always remain in my hands.

Venice is home to the Court of Appeal and the Regional Administrative Court for Veneto, which also cover Padua, and to one of the main ports on the Adriatic.

Common situations

  1. A summons to the Questura di Venezia or a Carabinieri station
  2. Notice that the prosecutors at the Tribunale di Venezia have closed their investigation
  3. A preliminary hearing or trial before the Tribunale di Venezia
  4. A judgment to appeal before the Corte d’Appello di Venezia
  5. A complaint to file as a victim
