An essential advocate from the outset of police custody

Police custody often marks the beginning of the criminal justice process. This temporary deprivation of liberty, strictly governed by the French Code of Criminal Procedure, allows law enforcement to question a suspect in relation to a criminal offence. From the very start of this measure, you have the right to legal counsel.

Maître DEBUISSON promptly intervenes to assist individuals placed in police custody in Paris and the surrounding region. During the initial 30-minute confidential consultation, he ensures your rights are upheld, explains the procedure, and advises you ahead of any police interviews. His presence protects you against coercion and ensures the legality of the investigation.

During police custody, you have rights:

  • the right to remain silent;
  • to access a medical examination;
  • to notify a family member or employer;
  • and, of course, the right to be assisted by a lawyer.
  • Never sign any document without first consulting your legal representative.

Tailored legal guidance during the judicial investigation

If a judicial investigation is launched against you, you may be summoned by an investigating judge and placed under formal investigation (mise en examen). This stage aims to establish the truth by collecting both incriminating and exculpatory evidence.

The DEBUISSON & Associés Law Firm conducts a precise review of your case file to develop a personalised and strategic defence. Where necessary, Maître DEBUISSON requests additional investigative acts—such as calling witnesses or ordering expert reports—to shape the inquiry in your favour. Vigilant regarding any procedural breaches, he will not hesitate to raise nullities for a dismissal if irregularities are found.

Particular attention is also given to issues of judicial supervision or pre-trial detention. The firm regularly submits applications for release, backed by robust guarantees (such as stable accommodation or employment), to avoid or terminate custodial remand.

Robust and strategic defence before Criminal Courts

With extensive courtroom experience, Maître DEBUISSON defends clients in all criminal courts across Paris, including immediate appearances (comparution immédiate), scheduled summons before the Tribunal correctionnel (Criminal Court for misdemeanours), and referrals to the Cour d’assises (felonies).

Maître DEBUISSON tailors his arguments to the specific facts and legal characterisation of your case. His primary objective: to seek acquittal, downgrading of charges, or the most lenient sentence. He also offers support in CRPC procedures (Appearance on Prior Admission of Guilt), which, under certain conditions, allow for the negotiation of penalties with the Public Prosecutor.

Whatever the severity of the offence, preparation for your hearing is essential. The DEBUISSON & Associés Law Firm organises in-depth preparatory sessions to familiarise you with the proceedings and define the most effective line of defence.
