Offenses Against Persons Lawyer Bucharest - Defending Your Freedom and Reputation | Bogdan Lamatic

Offenses against persons are regulated by Title I of the Special Part of the Criminal Code (art. 188-227) and cover acts that harm a person's life, bodily integrity, freedom, private life, or sexual freedom and integrity. (Legislative Portal) The Criminal Code groups them into nine chapters:

• Offenses against life (murder, manslaughter) - art. 188-192
• Offenses against bodily integrity or health (assault, bodily harm) - art. 193-198
• Offenses committed against a family member (domestic violence) - art. 199-200
• Aggression against the fetus - art. 201-202
• Offenses regarding the duty to assist persons in danger - art. 203-204
• Offenses against personal freedom (unlawful deprivation of liberty, threats, blackmail, harassment) - art. 205-208
• Trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons - art. 209-217
• Offenses against sexual freedom and integrity (rape, sexual assault) - art. 218-223
• Offenses against the home and private life - art. 224-227

Note: if you are the injured party seeking compensation or representation as a civil party, the information you need is on the Victim Representation in Criminal Cases page. This page addresses the defense of accused persons.

1. Assault and other acts of violence, bodily harm (art. 193-195 Criminal Code). I defend people accused of acts of violence, analyzing the proportionality of the alleged act, the forensic medical certificates and the real circumstances of the conflict.
2. Bodily harm caused by negligence (art. 196 Criminal Code). Frequently encountered in accidents, negligence or conflicts without intent to harm - I challenge the legal classification when the elements of negligence are not clearly proven. For cases arising from traffic accidents, see also the Traffic Offenses with Victims page.
3. Domestic violence (art. 199 Criminal Code). I build the defense taking into account the particularities of these cases - often with conflicting evidence, family witnesses and, sometimes, protection orders already issued.
4. Threats and blackmail (art. 206-207 Criminal Code). I analyze whether the reported act actually meets the elements of the offense or represents a verbal conflict without criminal relevance.
5. Harassment and sexual harassment (art. 208, art. 223 Criminal Code). I defend people accused in such cases, carefully verifying the evidence and the context of the communications relied upon.
6. Unlawful deprivation of liberty (art. 205 Criminal Code). I represent people accused in situations often linked to family or property disputes, where the legal classification must be examined rigorously.
7. Offenses against sexual freedom and integrity - rape, sexual assault (art. 218-219 Criminal Code). Cases with extremely high stakes for the client's freedom and reputation, in which I build the defense based on forensic evidence, witnesses and the timeline of events.
8. Trespassing and violation of private life (art. 224-227 Criminal Code). I defend people accused of unlawfully entering a home or violating another person's private life.

A) Quick and confidential assessment. I review the complaint, the referral document or summons you received, together with any existing evidence (forensic certificates, messages, witnesses), to understand exactly what you are being accused of.

B) Verifying the legal classification. Many cases in this category start from real conflicts, but the reported act does not always meet the elements of the offense invoked. I check whether the classification is correct and whether there are grounds for reclassification, dismissal or alternative solutions.

C) Tailored defense strategy. I prepare statements, file requests for evidence and, where the law allows it (for example, for certain offenses subject to a prior complaint requirement), I examine the possibility of a settlement between the parties.

D) Complete representation, from the hearing to court. I represent you personally throughout the case - from the first hearing at the Police or Prosecutor's Office, during the criminal investigation phase, to the prosecutor's decision and, if necessary, before the court.

You have been summoned or reported for an incident of violence or threats. Call me before the hearing, so we can prepare your statement together and determine what documents or witnesses can support your version of events.

A provisional protection order has been issued against you. Comply immediately with the obligations imposed and contact me as soon as possible - the deadlines for challenging or modifying such an order are short.

You have been accused of an act with sexual connotations. Do not give any statement without a lawyer. Call me immediately, regardless of the time, for a confidential assessment of your situation.

You want to know whether you can reach a settlement with the injured party. We will analyze together whether the reported act legally allows this option and, if so, how it can be negotiated correctly.

I have over 18 years of experience in criminal law and have been recognized by Legal 500 for five consecutive years as a Next Generation Partner. I have represented clients in a wide range of cases involving offenses against persons, from lower-level conflicts to complex accusations with a major impact on personal freedom.

I handle every case personally. I do not send a colleague in my place to hearings or to court - I remain your point-of-contact lawyer throughout the case, with absolute discretion.

I am available almost around the clock. These situations do not follow office hours, which is why I can be reached from 6 a.m. until late in the evening, including on weekends.

If you are accused of an offense against persons or have been summoned for a hearing, call me now for a free and confidential initial assessment.
