In criminal matters, every hour counts. A decision taken in the first hours of a proceeding can determine the outcome of the entire case — the absence of counsel during police custody can cost years later. Cabinet Chevalier provides fast, rigorous representation before every Haitian criminal jurisdiction, with three decades of experience and the strictest confidentiality.
From the moment of police custody, you have the right to counsel. We intervene without delay to preserve your rights, frame the interrogations, and prepare what comes next. This is often where irreparable mistakes occur — a misplaced silence, an imprudent statement, a denied right ignored. Our presence secures every step.
During the investigation phase, we accompany clients before the investigating judge, file requests for useful procedural acts, and build the substantive defense. At trial, we plead before the criminal court or Court of Assizes depending on the matter. Our approach combines procedural rigor, substantive mastery, and a plea strategy tailored to each court.
A conviction at first instance is not the end of the road. We systematically guide our clients through every available appeal route, and run parallel bail and release applications. Every file is followed through to its conclusion.
Police custody is the stage where the most fundamental rights are most at risk. A lawyer present from the first hour protects your right to silence, frames interrogations, verifies compliance with statutory deadlines, and prepares what follows. It is often the decisive stage of the case.
We handle misdemeanor and felony matters, including white-collar crime, breach of trust, fraud, personal-injury offenses and economic crimes. For highly specialized matters, we collaborate with specialist co-counsel.
Timelines vary by the nature of the case. Police custody is statutorily limited. The investigation phase can last months to years. Trial follows the close of investigation. We keep clients informed with clear milestones at every step.
Fees depend on complexity, duration, and the courts involved. We systematically establish a written, transparent fee agreement before any engagement. An initial call lets us evaluate the file at no charge.
