Criminal lawyer in Riyadh and Tabuk
A criminal case can affect a person's liberty, reputation, job and residence. The Saudi Criminal Procedure Law guarantees every accused person the right to a lawyer during investigation and trial, and the earlier a lawyer is involved the better they can protect the client.
Usus Law Firm defends accused persons and represents victims claiming their private right. We attend Public Prosecution investigations, plead before the criminal courts, file appeals and follow release and rehabilitation requests. Courts use interpreters for those who do not speak Arabic, and we explain every step in English.
Criminal matters we handle
- Fraud and embezzlement: defence or prosecution of financial fraud claims.
- Forgery: forgery of official and private documents under the Anti-Forgery Law.
- Cybercrime and blackmail: online blackmail, defamation and unauthorised access to accounts.
- Drug cases: use, possession and dealing, including challenges to arrest and search procedures.
- Money laundering, bribery and corruption: complex financial cases that need careful study of records.
- Assault and theft: defence, and claims for the victim's private right and compensation.
- Release and rehabilitation: temporary release, and clearing a criminal record after the statutory periods.
Stages of a criminal case
- 1. Arrest or summons: the accused may know the charge and ask for a lawyer; avoid statements before advice.
- 2. Investigation: we attend Public Prosecution sessions, check the legality of procedures and ask for release where possible.
- 3. Indictment: we study the charge sheet and evidence and build the defence.
- 4. Trial: pleading before the criminal court, examining evidence and witnesses.
- 5. Appeal: objection to the Court of Appeal within the statutory period.
Rights the law guarantees the accused
The accused is presumed innocent until convicted by a final judgment and may not be coerced into confessing; a coerced confession has no weight.
Arrest and search have legal conditions; if they are breached, their results can be challenged.
