Subsidized Legal Aid
In many cases, you may be eligible for government-subsidized legal aid. This means the government will (partially) cover the cost of legal assistance.
Application for Subsidy
Before the criminal case begins, we will assess whether you qualify for this assistance by applying for a “subsidy” (toevoeging) from the Legal Aid Council (Raad voor Rechtsbijstand) on your behalf.
Personal Contribution
If you are entitled to a subsidy for attorney fees, the amount of your personal contribution depends on your income: the higher your income, the higher your contribution, and the more you will need to pay yourself. The Legal Aid Council sets conditions regarding your income and assets.
Full Payment Basis
If you do not qualify for subsidized legal aid, we will provide a clear estimate of the costs for the procedure in advance.
