Lawyers in Nice, France: help for international clients
Guerinot & Guedda is a law firm registered with the Nice bar. We advise and represent clients who are not French, or who do not speak French, in three areas: criminal defence, victims of crime and accidents, and immigration law. We act before the French police, prosecutors, courts and administrations, in Nice, usually before the court of Grasse, and anywhere in France.
This page presents our work in English. Our detailed articles are in French, and we link to them from each page below. The information on these pages is general and describes French law. It does not replace advice on your own file.
Table of contents
Our three areas of work
Criminal defence in Nice. If you are arrested, questioned or summoned to court in France: your rights in police custody, the interpreter, your consulate, judicial supervision and what happens next.
Victims of crime and accidents. If you were assaulted, robbed or injured in a road accident in the Nice area: filing a complaint, joining the criminal case as a civil party, compensation from the guarantee fund and the insurer's offer.
Immigration law. If you live in France or want to: refused or unrenewed residence permits, an order to leave French territory (OQTF) and its short deadlines, family reunification and visa refusals.
