Criminal Defence and Criminal Complaints in Lebanon

Dr. Dani Geagea assists individuals and businesses with criminal complaints, defence and related procedural matters in Lebanon. The office reviews the alleged conduct, the evidence and the stage of the matter before defining the appropriate response. An initial enquiry should make clear whether you have received a summons or complaint, are already involved in proceedings, or wish to report conduct affecting you. Mention any hearing or other deadline at the outset. The office must expressly confirm whether it can accept an urgent assignment.

How the office can assist

Defence and responses to criminal allegations

The assessment begins with the documents actually received, the sequence of events and the client’s procedural position. Work may include reviewing the allegations and supporting records, preparing the defence, addressing procedural questions and representation within an agreed mandate. A useful account distinguishes what you personally know from assumptions or information supplied by others. Include material that may contradict your position as well as material that supports it. A considered defence requires an accurate file, not simply a response to the wording of an accusation.

Preparing a criminal complaint

Before preparing a complaint, the office examines the facts, the persons concerned, the available evidence and the objective sought. This helps assess whether a criminal route is appropriate and whether civil, commercial or other measures should also be considered. A payment dispute, business disagreement or broken promise is not treated as proof of a criminal offence merely because it has caused a loss. The proposed characterisation and requests must be supported by the circumstances and documents. No conviction, recovery of funds or particular outcome is guaranteed.

Cybercrime and digital evidence

The practice’s digital-law work is relevant where a matter involves online fraud, extortion, impersonation, account compromise, threats or electronic correspondence. The review considers the context of messages and transactions, the available records and the connection between online events and the persons concerned. Keep original messages and files available, with relevant dates and account details. Avoid editing or deleting material that may matter to the assessment. Do not send passwords or access codes, or attempt to obtain evidence by entering someone else’s accounts. The office will identify an appropriate channel for reviewing sensitive records.

Clients abroad and cross-border facts

Initial coordination can begin from abroad where the matter requires legal work in Lebanon. The review identifies the countries involved, any existing proceedings, the location of relevant records and practical requirements for representation. Remote contact does not mean that every step can be completed online. Any necessary authorisation, original document or attendance is considered for the particular matter. Work requiring representation in another jurisdiction is addressed with appropriately licensed counsel where needed.

Legal context

Identify the stage of the matter and any deadline

The facts, records and possible conflicts are reviewed before accepting an assignment. Sending an enquiry does not establish representation or confirm that a deadline is being handled. Scope, fees and expenses are agreed before work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Direct questions deserve precise answers.

What should I send first?

A short chronology, the type of document or summons received, any known file reference, and the date of the next hearing or deadline. Wait for confirmation of the document-sharing channel before transmitting highly sensitive material.

Can you act for a complainant or a defendant?

The office considers both types of assignment, subject to reviewing the matter, checking conflicts and agreeing the scope of representation.

How are fees determined?

Fees depend on the agreed work and stage of the case. The office distinguishes its fees from court charges and other expected expenses before proceeding.

A brief outline of the issue and any approaching deadline is enough to begin. The office will clarify whether it can assist and explain the proposed scope and fees before work starts.

These details stay in this page until you open WhatsApp or email. The selected service will then process them. Review and send the message there. Avoid confidential documents, passwords and account numbers.

An enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship or suspend a deadline. The office first checks conflicts, scope and fees.
