FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are a complaint and a report the same thing?

No. For offences that require one, a complaint includes the victim’s intention that proceedings be brought; a report communicates a suspected crime to the authorities.

Should I make a statement without reviewing the case?

The answer depends on your role and the stage of proceedings. Before deciding, you should understand your applicable rights and the known subject of the case.

Does the firm represent both victims and defendants?

Yes, after confirming that there is no conflict of interest in the matter.
