Partners
Unfortunately, de Strafrechtswinkel Amsterdam cannot handle all matters. For example, if you are suspected of a serious crime, you will need a lawyer. We work together with Stroobach & Dijkers Advocaten. They are specialized in criminal law. We can refer you to them during our consultation hours.
We also collaborate with the University of Amsterdam. We are part of the Free Legal Advice Centre in the Law Hub of the University of Amsterdam, a partnership between various legal clinics.
Are you interested in a (professional) partnership with our foundation? Please contact us!
