Facing a criminal charge in Serbia is serious — and the decisions you make in the first hours can shape the entire outcome. Igor Pavićević has handled criminal cases across the full range of charges, representing both defendants and victims. We build your defence from day one: analysing evidence, challenging the prosecution, and protecting your rights at every stage.
What we handle
- General criminal offences: Defence in proceedings for all common criminal offences under Serbian law.
- Economic crime and corruption: White-collar crime, fraud, bribery and corruption charges.
- Drug-related offences: Possession, trafficking and related charges — all stages of proceedings.
- Road traffic offences: Criminal and misdemeanour proceedings arising from traffic incidents.
- Domestic violence and juvenile law: Domestic violence cases and proceedings involving minors.
- Plea agreements and deferred prosecution: Negotiating plea deals with the prosecutor and applying for deferred prosecution (oportunitet).
- Execution of criminal sanctions: Representing clients in proceedings for conditional release, house arrest and enforcement measures.
- Representation of victims: Filing criminal complaints and pursuing civil compensation claims on behalf of injured parties.
How we work
- Emergency consultation and immediate response: We review the facts, assess the risks, and act immediately. If you have been detained or remanded, we take legal steps to protect your fundamental rights without delay.
- Evidence analysis and defence strategy: We conduct our own review of the prosecution's evidence and allegations. Where necessary, we engage independent expert witnesses and build a solid, case-specific defence strategy.
- Court representation: We represent you at all hearings, cross-examine witnesses and challenge the prosecution's case. You are kept fully informed at every step.
Important: Never give a statement to the police or prosecutor without your lawyer present. You have a constitutional right to remain silent until you have had a confidential consultation with your defence counsel. Calling a lawyer early prevents mistakes that are almost impossible to correct later in the proceedings.
