From the first question to a clear approach.
You do not need to translate your situation into legal terms in advance. The team first brings together the facts, documents and urgent data. It will then be discussed what can be investigated and who can best take your case file from the office in Zaventem.
Start with what is actually going on.
For an initial contact, your name and contact details, the general topic, a short description and any date for questioning, a hearing or another urgent step are useful. Do not send a full case file, confidential documents or sensitive information about others through the general form.
A contact request does not create an attorney-client relationship. The office will only accept a case file after confirmation. If there is a date on your document that may be urgent, please mention it immediately or call+32 2 720 10 48.
Facts, documents and options side by side.
The practitioner examines what information is established, what is still missing and what consequences require further investigation. The precise approach depends on the contents of the case file. Therefore, the office does not promise results until the facts and relevant documents have been reviewed.
Where a sound agreement is possible and appropriate, that possibility will be discussed. When a procedure is necessary, the lawyer explains what needs to be prepared. Matthias Dive and Mieke Smolders provide practical explanations and administrative follow-up within their roles, but are not presented as lawyers.
Transparent about approach and costs.
During the first conversation we are transparent about our working method and what you can expect. We can only give a final price when we know the precise facts of your case file. Where possible, we tailor the approach and agreements to what is feasible for you.
No free initial consultation or fixed outcome is promised.
Confidentiality requires full context.
A lawyer can only provide targeted advice when all relevant facts are known. What you discuss with your lawyer is covered by professional secrecy. For general contact channels, data minimization remains important: share only what is necessary to have your question assessed and delivered.
A conversation can take place at the office in Zaventem or via video. The office helps clients in Dutch, French and English.
