We specialize in Criminal Law in Pakistan, providing expert legal representation across a wide range of criminal cases. Whether you’re facing charges or seeking legal advice, we’re committed to protecting your rights.
Criminal law in Pakistan is governed by the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) of 1860 and several procedural laws, such as the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) of 1898 and the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997. These laws outline various offences, punishments, and procedures to be followed during criminal investigations and trials.

At Law of Lawyers, we believe in providing a vigorous and strategic defense in all criminal cases. Our approach includes:
We conduct a comprehensive review of all evidence, police reports, witness statements, and legal documentation. Our goal is to identify inconsistencies or procedural violations that can strengthen the defense.
Before trial, we engage in discussions with law enforcement and prosecutors, seeking to negotiate a reduction in charges or even dismissal where possible.
Our attorneys have a strong presence in court, delivering well-prepared arguments, cross-examining witnesses, and challenging evidence to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.
If a conviction has been handed down, our team continues to fight for justice through appeals, seeking to overturn or reduce sentences where there has been a miscarriage of justice.
