Criminal Lawyer in Lebanon
Michel Eid Law Firm assists clients facing criminal matters in Lebanon. Every file depends on its own facts and on the authority handling it, so we begin with a paid consultation in which we review the information available to you and explain the next steps we can take within the scope we accept.
Remote consultation — up to 30 minutes, USD 100. Paid before the appointment.
