Protecting Lawful Rights and Interests – Seeking Justice – Standing by You Until Your Rights Are Fully Restored
In criminal cases, victims are often the parties who suffer direct losses relating to property, health, honor, dignity, reputation, or emotional well-being. However, in practice, many victims are unfamiliar with their legal rights under Vietnamese criminal procedure law, do not know how to claim compensation properly, or face difficulties when working with investigation and prosecution authorities.
Engaging a criminal lawyer for victims at an early stage is essential not only for protecting lawful rights and interests, but also for ensuring that the criminal case is handled objectively, lawfully, and without overlooking important evidence or criminal conduct.
At DAI & PARTNERS, we provide comprehensive legal services for victims in criminal cases in Vietnam. Our lawyers accompany clients throughout the entire criminal process, from criminal denunciation and investigation to prosecution, trial, and compensation claims.

Need assistance in preparing a criminal denunciation or request for criminal prosecution
Do not know how to collect, preserve, or submit evidence lawfully
Wish to claim compensation for property damage, medical expenses, lost income, or emotional distress
