When an individual is placed in pre-trial detention or serving a custodial sentence, it is sometimes possible—under specific conditions—to apply for release. This is a complex legal process that requires the assistance of a criminal defence attorney who can effectively safeguard their client’s rights and interests.
In both Paris and Toulouse, Maître Pierre DEBUISSON and his firm are widely respected for their skill and experience in handling applications for release, whether in the context of pre-trial detention or following conviction.
To secure a release, it must be demonstrated that continued detention is unjustified. This could be the case if there is insufficient evidence to support the suspicion of an offence or its recurrence, if detention is no longer strictly necessary, or if adequate guarantees of representation can be provided.
Maître Pierre DEBUISSON, a criminal lawyer in Paris and Toulouse, conducts a meticulous analysis of his client’s case in order to identify and present the most persuasive arguments before the appropriate Judge of Liberties and Detention (JLD) or investigating magistrate.
In many instances, proposing viable alternatives to detention—such as judicial supervision or house arrest with electronic monitoring—may increase the likelihood of securing release. Similarly, offering a financial surety (bail) may also prove effective.
The DEBUISSON & Associés Law Firm thus assesses each situation individually to determine the most suitable and convincing course of action. A carefully constructed and tailored argument is essential to maximise your chances of success.
Choose the right defence
Are you looking for a lawyer competent in criminal or personal injury law in Toulouse or Paris? Contact DEBUISSON & Associés.
In the context of a judicial investigation, a written application must be submitted to the investigating magistrate. Should the application be refused, an appeal may be lodged within ten days, following which a hearing is held before the Court of Appeal’s Investigation Chamber.
If the request arises after a final conviction, the application for release must be addressed to the enforcement judge (JEX). An adversarial hearing will then take place, during which the defence attorney has the opportunity to present arguments. The judge must reach a decision within a time frame that varies depending on the specific circumstances. In the event of a refusal, there remain further avenues of appeal.
At every stage of the process, Maître Pierre DEBUISSON and his team provide comprehensive guidance and put their extensive experience in criminal litigation at your disposal. With over ten years’ experience in criminal law, Maître DEBUISSON has successfully represented numerous clients in release proceedings.
