Our firm specializes in criminal law, with a particular focus on offenses that most directly affect the dignity of the individual, the family, animals, and property.

We place the specific circumstances of those who turn to us—whether the alleged perpetrator or the victim—at the heart of our work, in order to craft a truly tailored defense or protection strategy.

Criminal law involves a delicate balance: on one hand, individual liberty; on the other, the safety of the community.

At its core, every criminal trial is a confrontation between these two fundamental values.

Our firm approaches this balance with seriousness and a sense of responsibility, fully aware that behind every case file lies a person, not merely a legal matter.

Our work is guided by two fundamental principles:

• The centrality of the individual: no one is defined entirely by the crime they have committed or suffered. Criminal law must judge the facts without stripping away the dignity of those involved.

• Limits on punitive power: while the State has a duty to protect the community, the criminal justice response must always be proportionate, justified, and respectful of fundamental rights.
A rigorous legal defense is not an obstacle to justice, but a guarantee that any resulting penalty is truly the outcome of a fair trial.

Our daily work operates within this balance between liberty and security: defending individual rights, monitoring the proper exercise of punitive power, and promoting—where possible—pathways toward accountability and reparation.

Areas of Criminal Law Practice

1. Crimes against animals

We handle cases involving crimes against animals and all criminally relevant conduct that harms their well-being and dignity.

We provide representation both to those accused of such crimes and to those seeking to protect animals as injured parties, including by acting as a civil party in criminal proceedings.

2. Crimes against the family

We handle proceedings concerning offenses that undermine family unity and harmony, such as mistreatment, failure to meet family support obligations, and crimes arising from separations and parental conflicts.

The family is often the setting where the wounds inflicted by criminal acts are most painful; we offer both legal and personal support, with a particular focus on protecting the most vulnerable individuals.

3. Crimes against the person

T&R Law Firm handles, among others, proceedings relating to:

• assault and bodily harm;
• brawling/affray;
• abandonment of minors or incapacitated persons;
• failure to render aid;
• defamation, including via the press or online media;
• private violence (coercion);
• making threats;
• stalking;
• trespassing (violation of domicile).

4. Crimes against property

We provide representation in proceedings involving theft, robbery, extortion, fraud, misappropriation, property damage, and, in general, offenses affecting a person's material and economic assets.

5. Minors and juvenile criminal law

The lawyers at T&R Law Firm possess particular expertise in criminal proceedings involving minors.
Juvenile criminal proceedings require sensitivity, knowledge of specific regulations, and a focus on the rehabilitative goals of the criminal justice intervention.
We guide the minor and their family through every stage of the proceedings, clearly explaining rights, obligations, and alternatives to detention, with the aim of turning the judicial experience into an opportunity for personal growth and the development of a sense of responsibility.

6. State-funded legal aid

The lawyers at T&R Law Firm are qualified to provide representation under the state-funded legal aid scheme.
We work with clients to assess whether they meet the statutory income requirements, thereby enabling even those facing financial hardship to access qualified legal defense without compromising on the quality of legal assistance.

We provide advice and assistance—both in and out of court—to both the alleged perpetrator and the victim of a crime.

For those under investigation or facing charges:

• assistance from the very early stages of the preliminary investigation;
• presence during interrogations and judicial police proceedings;

• development of a robust defense strategy that respects the rights of the accused and considers alternatives to imprisonment as well as measures to avoid a full trial.

For the victim of the crime:

• attentive listening and in-depth analysis of the facts;
