Criminal
We uphold victims' rights to the very end, and firmly protect suspects' freedom and daily lives.
A criminal case has a direct and immediate effect on the life of the person involved. What is said at the very first police questioning decides the success or failure of the entire trial. For those who have suffered unjust harm, MAST pursues both the punishment of the offender and substantive recovery of the damage; for those who have been unfairly accused or placed under investigation, we do our utmost to avoid detention and prevent a criminal record.
On the victim's side, MAST completes substantive recovery of the damage, from meticulous drafting of the criminal complaint to active submission of opinions to the investigative authorities and applications for restitution orders in the criminal trial.
On the side of the suspect or defendant, MAST guards our client's freedom and daily life with rigorous legal reasoning, from attendance at police questioning and the design of a statement strategy to the warrant review hearing, defense at trial, and the appellate stages.
