Legal Domains
Police & Justice
The Power of Your Rights
Discover the power of your rights — and remember who you are. Listen closely, because this matters: justice is not your enemy. Justice is the foundation of our society — a system designed to protect you, to safeguard your dignity, your truth, and your voice. Whether you’re a suspect, a witness, or a victim — you have rights, and those rights are more powerful than you might think.
Understanding the System
At first, the system might feel overwhelming. It can seem like you’re drowning in a sea of procedures, legal jargon, and confusion. But know this: justice is not here to break you — it’s here to reveal your truth. It is a powerful tool that — when used correctly — can lift you up, protect you, and help you leave the past behind. You deserve to be carried not by fear or uncertainty, but by the law. And that’s exactly where I come in — as your guide, your defender, your strategic partner. Together, we will discover that justice is not a dream, but a right you can claim today. Not because you have to fight to be seen, but because you already matter. Because you matter. And because there is always a way forward, no matter how complicated your situation may seem.
Your Dignity and the Power of Your Voice
Your dignity is inviolable — and the law is on your side. Picture this: a courtroom where not only the law matters, but your voice echoes with strength. Justice is not a cold machine — it’s a living system that needs people like you to truly function. When you speak, when you stand up, when you find the courage to share your story, you give justice its true meaning.
Rights for Suspects, Witnesses, and Victims
As a suspect, you deserve a fair chance — the right to be heard, to be defended, not to be judged before the truth comes to light. As a witness, you carry something sacred: the key to justice. And as a victim? You deserve nothing less than recognition, safety, and healing. The law is not here to overshadow you, but to support you. Not as an abstract idea, but as a concrete foundation in a confusing world. You don’t have to walk this path alone. My role is to guide you, to protect you, and — with unwavering determination — to help you receive the justice you deserve. We won’t just defend or explain — we’ll build something greater: your renewed strength. Strength that doesn’t hide, but stands tall. In your story, in your voice, in every step we take toward truth.
The Shared Fight for Justice
The fight for justice is the fight for yourself — and you don’t win it alone, you win it together. Let this be clear: you are not a victim of the system — you are the key to change. Justice is your stage to show the world who you really are. And yes, the road will be rough, filled with challenges, questions, maybe even fear. But let me tell you this, with the force of absolute conviction — together we will make sure that every step you take is a step toward truth, recognition, and justice. Not as abstract ideals, but as real, tangible outcomes that reshape your life. Whether you’re fighting for your innocence, speaking the truth, or seeking justice for what was done to you — we won’t just walk this path, we will master it. We’ll bring structure to chaos, strategy to confusion, and humanity to the system. And you? You will grow. You will rise. You will reclaim what you thought was lost. Because justice isn’t just about winning or losing — it’s about healing, about a fresh start, and about never forgetting who you truly are.
A Human Awakening and New Beginning
This is more than a legal battle — this is a human awakening. A redefinition of what it means to be heard, to be seen, to be acknowledged. Because in the end, it’s not just the system that changes when you rise — you change too. You develop a new mindset, a new strength, one that you will carry with you into every future that lies ahead. Justice isn’t just about rules and judgments — it’s about you. Your space. Your voice. Your right to exist without fear. And that right? We will defend it, protect it, and root it together. Until you not only feel it — but radiate it. Until you no longer say: “I hope I can make it,” but boldly declare: “I’m here — and I refuse to be diminished.” Together. Unshakable. Unbreakable. Always forward.
Family & Relationship
The Courtroom as a Place of Rebuilding
Understand this well: You are not in a courtroom because you have failed, but because you have decided to stand up – to defend your truth and take control of your future. The legal system is not an obstacle in your life; it is a powerful tool that, when used with wisdom and determination, supports you through one of the most transformative phases of personal growth. In family law matters, where love and pain intersect, where partnerships clash, and parenting is under pressure, the law is not the enemy, but a creator. It provides stability where emotions threaten to overwhelm. It helps you navigate the fog of grief and confusion, bringing clarity to the chaos and creating safety for you and your children. You are not trapped in a legal maze – you are moving toward a new reality where you, as a parent, as a person, as the leader of your own life, are reborn. You do not choose destruction, but reconstruction. And you are not alone in this process: I am here to guide you, to help us use the legal system not as a cold wall, but as a bridge to a future where your voice is heard and your strength is redefined. Your story deserves space, your grief deserves recognition, and your future deserves protection – and this is exactly what the law can offer when it is used in the service of your growth, your values, and your healing.
The Path to Empowerment
The law is not the enemy of emotions, but the structure in which your healing can take shape. In the midst of custody proceedings, alimony, visitation arrangements, and the separation of lives that were once intertwined, something extraordinary is growing: your new self. Every petition we file, every response we draft, is not a technical matter – it is a decision for clarity, for responsibility, for regaining control over your life. For this is the moment when you say, “I am no longer a pawn of the past. I am taking the lead.” Not because it is easy, but because it is necessary. Because you know that you are the change – not waiting for a savior, but determining the course yourself. And in this movement, everything changes: You are moving from a fight for survival to a purposeful building process. The judge is not an authority judging you – he or she is someone overseeing a process that you are co-shaping. The legal system is here to bring balance, to set frameworks in which your values can exist and thrive. You have the pen of life back in your hand. And every signature on every decision is an act of self-respect, a signal to yourself and the world: “I choose stability. For my children. For me.” In this choice lies the true power of the law: not as a threat from the outside, but as an inner anchor, a means through which you reclaim control over what is valuable in your life.
Transformation Through Law and Responsibility
This is your transformation – from someone defined by circumstances, to someone actively shaping the future. The law is no longer something that happens to you; it is your ally. It helps you not only make agreements but also gives you back the moral and mental compass that you may have lost. Here, you are not just learning the legal rules – you are learning how to stand up for yourself, how to lead your life with strength and love. Not in the shadow of conflict, but in the light of healing. And this is exactly what your children need: A parent who does not act out of frustration but out of loving determination. A parent who provides structure where there was uncertainty. One who makes difficult decisions with open eyes and an open heart, without losing themselves. I am here – as your legal and strategic partner – to ensure that you are heard, that you are seen, that you are protected. This process is not just about winning; it is about your complete repositioning in life. Together, we will ensure that the law is not only spoken but lived – by you, by your children, in every step you take from here on out. For this is not the end. This is the beginning of something stronger, purer, and more honest than ever before. And you are the one shaping it, with courage, with vision, and with the conviction that you deserve a new beginning.
Collection & Debts
The Turning Point Begins With You
Feel your heartbeat, notice your breath deepen, and know this: this moment – this raw, uncomfortable, confronting moment – is not a sign of weakness, but the beginning of a turning point. The bills piling up, the bailiff knocking at your door, the stress brewing like a storm around you… it may feel like you’re drowning, but beneath the surface, something else is stirring. Strength. Resilience. The will to live, not just survive. You’re not just a victim of your circumstances; you’re someone with the courage to stand tall. To say: “No more. Not like this.” The law isn’t there to crush you further – it’s there to give you room to breathe. It offers you a structure, a path, a compass that doesn’t ignore your struggles. Whether you’re facing unjust claims, structural debt issues, or the abuse of power by creditors – the law sees you. And more importantly: it protects you. Because where fear recedes, space for action is created. You have the right to breathe. The right to begin again. And that new beginning? It doesn’t lie in a lottery win or a miracle. It lies in your decision to rise. To seek help. To say, with your head held high: “I am more than my debt.” This is the start of your rebuilding. Not tomorrow. Today. This is the moment you stop waiting for things to get better – and decide to be the one who makes them better – with help, with strategy, and with the law on your side.
Debt Is Not Your End – It’s Your Starting Point
What if I told you that the chaos you’re going through right now isn’t the end of your story, but the foundation of an entirely new version of yourself? Your financial situation – no matter how dire it may seem – is not a reflection of your flaws, but of your humanity. And that is exactly why the law exists. Not to punish you, but to provide a framework where honesty and healing come first. Debt doesn’t mean you’ve failed – it means you’ve lived, made decisions, and had to overcome difficult circumstances. The only thing you need now is a map. And the legal system provides just that: from structured repayment plans to legal procedures that uncover and correct wrongdoing. Don’t think you need a financial miracle. What you need is guidance, strategy, structure – and the recognition that you have the right to stability. Because in the process of challenging, negotiating, or even having debts discharged, you learn something far greater than how to manage money: you learn how to rediscover yourself. You’re not a number in a debt collection file – you’re a person with worth, potential, and a future. And every legal step you take reminds you of that. You’re saying: “I’m here. And I’m fighting – with my head high and my rights in hand.” This is not defeat. This is a victory in progress. And not just for you, but for the people around you – your children, your partner, your future. Because every step forward sends a signal: I’m not giving up. I’m rewriting my story.
Your Breakthrough Begins With a Decision
There will come a moment when you’ve had enough of waking up in the middle of the night. Of feeling ashamed. Of feeling like everything is out of your control. That moment is not your breaking point – it’s your breakthrough. Because the moment you decide to stop watching passively and start acting, everything changes. Your world shifts from helplessness to empowerment. And the beautiful thing is: you don’t have to do it alone. The law stands by your side like a quiet force clearing your path. There are procedures designed to give you space to breathe. Judges who don’t just look at numbers, but at the person behind the case file. Liberation doesn’t begin with a debt being paid off – it begins with the realization that you are more than what you have or don’t have. You are someone who makes choices. Who takes responsibility. Who has the courage to ask for help and, through that, reclaims their life. And do you know what happens then? A future opens up in which you’re no longer being lived, but truly living. No longer lost, but leading the way. The law is not a cold machine – it’s a system whose ultimate purpose is to protect your human dignity. And with that key in hand, you unlock the door to a life where you’re back in charge. One decision. One step. And you’re on your way. Because hidden within that first step is the power of your liberation. And step by step, with the law as your ally, you’re building a life that’s not only sustainable – but truly yours.
The Role of the Attorney
Justice as an Inalienable Right, Not a Luxury
Every morning, I awaken with a deep-rooted belief—a burning conviction that drives me to fight each day for a world where justice is a universal right, not a luxury reserved for the few. I believe that justice should not sit atop a societal pyramid, accessible only to a select group who possess power, resources, and privilege. Justice must be the very foundation upon which every human being can build and unfold their life, regardless of their background, financial situation, or social status. In a world saturated with complex systems and often incomprehensible bureaucracies, my mission is to safeguard that foundation and support you—the everyday fighter. I do not stand on the sidelines as a passive observer, but as a fellow warrior, an ally who battles alongside you through every obstacle. This promise to realize justice and dignity for all is embedded in every action I take, every word I speak, and every step I walk.
VIA SEBASTIANO – The Beating Heart of My Social Compass
VIA SEBASTIANO represents a reality far deeper than just an initiative within an office. It is the manifestation of my inner drive and social commitment—a living, pulsing symbol of the integrity and compassion I strive for in my work. When I founded VIA SEBASTIANO, I was deeply moved by the realization that our society lacked space for genuine human connection. We live in a time where bureaucracy and distance often prevail, where the human story gets lost in standardized forms and cold procedures. That’s why I created a platform where your individual story is central, where your humanity is acknowledged and cherished. This is not about paperwork or procedures—it’s about real contact, sincere conversations, and offering a listening ear without judgment. With VIA SEBASTIANO, I strive to be an anchor that provides stability, a beating heart that brings the essence of social responsibility to life, transforming every encounter into a powerful moment of mutual recognition and support.
Your Right to Subsidized Legal Aid
Too often, people get entangled in a maze of rules and procedures without realizing that meaningful support is available to guide them through difficult times. For many, the right to legal assistance exists only on paper—seemingly out of reach and unclear—while in reality, it can be a lifeline that marks the difference between justice and chaos. I believe that no individual should be excluded from the help they deserve, simply because no one has taken the time to listen to their unique situation or because complex systems have failed them. The road to justice should not be littered with obstacles or insurmountable barriers; instead, it must become a clear and accessible path that gives every citizen the chance to be heard and to claim their rights. In my work, I focus on the individuals who are often forgotten—the people who continue to fight, despite repeated setbacks, for a system that was meant to protect and support them. You are not “too much.” You are invaluable. And your right to subsidized legal aid is an essential element of a society that values justice over bureaucracy.
The Holistic Framework of Seven Pillars
Legal support, to me, is so much more than the mere application of laws and procedures; it is a holistic process that brings healing, empowerment, and renewed strength. That’s why I developed an integrated system—the Holistic Framework of Seven Pillars—which is not only focused on resolving a specific issue, but on transforming the individual as a whole. This framework includes seven pillars—Prevention, Detection, Research, Response, Advice, Legal Procedures, and Negotiation—each playing a crucial role in restoring your control over your life and rights. Through prevention and detection, I lay the foundation for early intervention, before issues escalate. I then provide deep analysis and a tailored response through thorough research, while advice and legal procedures guide you toward a solution suited to your unique circumstances. Finally, the pillar of negotiation offers space for mending broken connections and reaching constructive resolutions. Together, these pillars form a robust system that not only responds to injustice but structurally overcomes it—allowing you to reclaim your dignity and self-confidence.
Restoring Dignity
At the core of my soul lies the belief that true justice is not solely measured by the application of the law, but by the capacity to restore human dignity. The most powerful moment in this process is when you, after a long struggle, stand tall once again—not because an outsider has saved you, but because you’ve remembered who you truly are. It’s about rediscovering your inner strength, recognizing the unchangeable value within you, and realizing your right to a life filled with hope and perspective. Restoring dignity means more than just practical support: it is an emotional and spiritual rebirth—a moment where your personal story transforms into one of resilience and empowerment. This restoration is not a gift, nor an act of pity; it is a reaffirmation of your identity, a tribute to your fighting spirit, and proof that true justice must be accessible to all. My role is to walk beside you on this path, to inspire and support you until you are fully restored and your strength shines through once more.
Structural Change – Your Story as a Lever for Transformation
Every human story holds the potential to ignite a chain reaction that leads to structural changes in our society. I am convinced that your experiences—no matter how painful or challenging—do not merely form your personal history, but also carry the power to inspire broader societal transformation. Rather than simply offering surface-level solutions to individual problems, I strive to strengthen the very foundation of the system itself. Every experience of injustice, every struggle, and every obstacle is seen by me as an opportunity for structural change—a lever which, when properly used, can lead to a fairer and more inclusive system. Through VIA SEBASTIANO, I work with people to break down walls and simultaneously build bridges, ensuring that every personal victory contributes to our collective growth and awareness. Your story is not just an individual anecdote; it is a seed of hope with the potential to transform an entire community. By listening, supporting, and translating your struggle into concrete action, we are creating a world in which justice becomes an unshakable foundation, built upon the stories and strength of every person.
Vision & Values
Your Transformation: From Uncertainty to Unquestionable Strength
Imagine waking up every morning with the realization that you are the architect of your own future – a future where the legal system is no longer a cold barrier, but a powerful ally supporting you in every challenge. In a world where legal obstacles and financial pressure often coincide with emotional conflicts and systemic exclusion, it is my mission to give you the key to real transformation. Whether you are dealing with the complex procedures in the Police & Justice domain, the intense and sometimes painful dynamics of Family & Relationship, or the paralyzing burden of Collection & Debts, you deserve to move forward with certainty and strength. Together, we will break down the walls of uncertainty and build a future where your voice, your rights, and your potential are at the center.
Determination – The Unyielding Fire that Relieves Your Legal Challenges by Your Refusal to Let Go
In the Police & Justice domain, I see daily how the system tries to crush you as a suspect, witness, or victim with unjust accusations, intimidating interrogations, and bureaucratic obstacles. With relentless determination, I channel all my energy into breaking down these walls – to protect your right to a fair trial and transform it into a powerful, undefeatable force. This determination is not just an abstract feeling; it is the engine behind every action I take. If you are struggling in the legal arena, I ensure that every step – from the first response to the final legal victory – is driven by a passion to bring your truthful story to the forefront. In the Family & Relationship domain, where emotions often clash with legal procedures in divorces or custody issues, my determination is the force that transforms every conflict into an opportunity for healing and harmony. And in Collection & Debts, where financial pressure seems to crush you, I bring the fiery energy that causes every unreasonable claim and every unlawful collection practice to collapse one by one. You deserve to know that every challenge will be met and overcome with this unyielding power.
Personal Attention – Your Unique Story as the Heart of Our Battle
You are not just a number in a file or an anonymous face in the crowd; your story is unique and important, and it deserves the full focus and compassion of someone who understands what it means to be human. In the Police & Justice domain, that means I look beyond the cold statistics and legal paragraphs – I listen to your story, take the time to understand your concerns and fears, and commit myself to offering you the personal support you need. In the Family & Relationship domain, where divorces, parental disputes, and emotional pain get in the way, I offer you not only legal advice but also a listening ear and a warm heart that empathizes with your unique reality. Every emotion, every tear, every uncertainty matters and receives the attention it deserves. And in Collection & Debts, I ensure that you do not get lost in a maze of figures and impersonal letters – I make sure your situation is treated with care and respect so that you get the support you need to take control of your financial future. Personal attention is not just a service; it is the core of your empowerment and the foundation upon which we will build your legal transformation together.
Specialized – Mastery that Transforms Your Unique Challenges into Triumph
The world of law is complex and ever-changing, and your success depends on how much you can rely on profound expertise and sharp legal knowledge. In the Police & Justice domain, specialized knowledge guarantees a strategy that goes beyond the standard. Whether you are confronted with an unjust accusation or are unintentionally dragged into a legal maze as a victim, my specialized approach ensures that every detail is investigated and no nuance is overlooked. In the Family & Relationship domain, I translate complex emotional and legal issues into clear, effective strategies that protect your interests – so you can confidently tackle important family matters. And in Collection & Debts, I use my expertise to resolve even the most confusing financial issues, so you can take the reins again and no longer be trapped in a web of debt and unreasonable claims. Being specialized means that I see every challenge as a unique opportunity – an opportunity to lead you to victory with profound insights and an undeniable advantage.
Speed – Immediate Action that Transforms Every Challenge into Power
In a world where every second counts, speed is not a luxury, but a necessity. In the Police & Justice domain, delays can mean the difference between securing your freedom or losing it. That is why I ensure that no moment is wasted; I act with immediate urgency, responding directly to every new development, so you never have to wait for the support you need. In the Family & Relationship domain, where every minute of uncertainty can lead to more emotional damage, I ensure that the right actions are taken at the right time. I provide swift intervention that de-escalates conflicts and restores calm, so you and your family can face the future with peace of mind. In the Collection & Debts domain, speed means that every threat of financial uncertainty is addressed immediately, so you are no longer caught in the grip of creditors and financial chaos. Speed is your time-saving power, your guarantee that you regain control, and your access to a transformation that helps you turn every challenge into a victory with immediate and effective action.
Pragmatic – Concrete and Goal-Oriented, Your Path to Sustainable Success
Dreaming of a better future is beautiful, but real transformation comes from concrete actions that do justice to your unique situation. In the Police & Justice domain, I translate complex legal concepts into achievable, pragmatic strategies that enable you to overcome any obstacle with confidence. It is about giving you clear insight into your rights and options so that you do not get trapped in abstract theory but can take direct steps toward your freedom. In the Family & Relationship domain, I translate emotional and legal complexity into practical solutions that restore your family life and create a sense of stability and security. This means drafting clear agreements, achieving fair custody arrangements, and protecting the interests of all parties involved – all in a way that delivers tangible results. And in the Collection & Debts domain, I develop workable plans that help relieve financial burdens and build a stable, independent life. Working pragmatically is the foundation upon which we will make your dream a reality together – no theoretical hope, but real, measurable progress.
Clear Communication – Your Compass in the World of Law and Empowerment
In the maze of laws, procedures, and legal jargon, clear, open communication is your most valuable compass. You deserve to know exactly where you stand, without reluctance or uncertainty. In the Police & Justice domain, I ensure that you navigate every phase of the legal process with clear insight – from the first interrogation to the final verdict. I translate complex legal language into understandable and empowering insights, so you not only understand what is happening but also why it is happening and what steps you can take. In the Family & Relationship domain, clear communication means that, even in the heat of conflicts and emotional uncertainty, you always know what choices you have and what their consequences will be. It helps you make decisions with confidence that safeguard your future. And in the Collection & Debts domain, I ensure you never get lost in confusing financial details – you get a clear roadmap showing you what rights you have and how you can turn your financial situation around. My promise is transparent, direct communication that gives you the peace and confidence to face every legal challenge with certainty.
Your Transformation Begins Now: Take Control of Your Legal Future

This is not a temporary solution; it is a fundamental transformation that will change your life on every front. You have the right to thrive, to face your future with confidence, and to know that your legal and personal challenges no longer limit your power.

Holistic Framework
Holistic Framework comprising Seven Powerful Pillars
Imagine no longer being left behind in the maze of legal obstacles, but instead holding the key to transformation in your hands. In a world where the legal system often seems impersonal and inaccessible—where law is dictated by financial means and status—I choose to change this. My mission is to make access to justice in the domains of Police & Justice, Family & Relationships, and Collections & Debt a reality for everyone through a holistic framework with seven powerful pillars. It is not about superficial changes, but about a deep, structural transformation that gives you the power to shape your own future. Let’s walk this path together.
(a) Prevention: Proactive Initiatives for Legal Assistance and Awareness
In the legal domain of Police & Justice, I stand for prevention as a powerful engine to keep you from getting entangled in legal conflicts. I believe that knowledge and awareness are your first line of defense. That’s why I facilitate and conduct legal education programs through VIA SEBASTIANO, which not only provide information but also empower you to make well-informed choices. Whether you are facing criminal challenges or dealing with systemic inequality, I ensure that you, as an individual, gain the legal knowledge you need. In the domains of Family & Relationships and Collections & Debt, this means you learn to recognize and use your rights before conflicts escalate. Prevention is the foundation of every transformation—it’s your opportunity to stay ahead of obstacles so you don’t later find yourself up against a wall of injustice.
(b) Detection: Early Identification of Legal Problems
Early detection plays a key role in preventing escalation. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, when you are faced with suspicions, interrogations, or impending legal action, I ensure that you receive the right support at the moment that matters most. Through VIA SEBASTIANO, I provide you with direct access to legal experts who can quickly assess your situation before small issues snowball into larger problems. In the domain of Family & Relationships, where conflicts often create simmering tensions, and in Collections & Debt, where financial issues can snowball, rapid detection is essential. This is your opportunity to identify problems early so we can address them before they complicate your life unnecessarily.
(c) Research: Thorough Case Analysis and Legal Investigation
Wisdom begins with deep understanding. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, thorough research means I meticulously analyze every case, every file, and every statement. Whether it involves complicated evidence or intricate interrogation techniques, I ensure that nothing is left to chance. In the domain of Family & Relationships, I dive deep into the dynamics of families, considering not just the legal but also the emotional and social dimensions of your situation. And in Collections & Debt, I analyze every contract, claim, and financial obstacle. My extensive case analysis provides you with clear insights into your legal position, so you have all the tools you need to make informed decisions. This is your foundation for real transformation—a profound knowledge that lays the groundwork for your legal success.
(d) Response: Tailored Solutions for Legal Challenges
When problems arise, I respond with precision and dedication. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, my tailored response is reflected in targeted strategies that protect your rights and refute unjust accusations. In the domain of Family & Relationships, I translate complex emotional and legal issues into concrete steps that lead to lasting peace and harmony within families. And in Collections & Debt, I implement a powerful action plan to break through any financial barriers. Together, we don’t just face a struggle; we develop a personalized plan that reflects your unique situation. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution, this is your personalized route to a future where you remain in control and overcome every obstacle.
(e) Advice: Tailored Legal Advice for Every Client
You deserve more than one-size-fits-all advice. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, I offer in-depth, personalized legal counsel tailored to your specific situation, so you know how to best defend your position. In the domain of Family & Relationships, I translate the often complex and emotional legal matters into understandable and practical insights so you can make well-informed decisions for the future of your family. And in Collections & Debt, I provide strategies that are immediately actionable, helping you break free from financial pressure step by step. My advice is not just information—it’s a powerful tool that helps you take control of your own path and reclaim the direction of your life.
(f) Legal Procedures: Comprehensive Guidance Through Complex Legal Cases
When your case enters formal legal procedures, I am there to guide you through the entire process. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, I provide meticulous and strategic preparation, so you understand every step and are ready—from the first interrogation to the final trial. Within the domain of Family & Relationships, I guide you through often emotionally charged legal cases, so you can step forward with clarity and confidence. And in Collections & Debt, I ensure that every legal document and procedure runs smoothly so you can focus on your recovery and future. With advanced tools for case management and document handling, I guarantee that your process will be efficient and effective. This is your assurance that every legal obstacle will be thoroughly addressed and that there will be no room left for uncertainty.
(g) Negotiation: Achieving Mutually Beneficial Solutions
Beyond formal legal procedures, I believe in the power of negotiation to reach a win-win solution. In the legal domain of Police & Justice, I strive for solutions that protect both your safety and your freedom by engaging in constructive dialogue with all involved parties. In the domain of Family & Relationships, I believe that dialogue and negotiation are often the key to lasting peace—so you and your loved ones can step out of a conflict with respect and understanding. And in the domain of Collections & Debt, I focus on negotiation and mediation, persistently seeking a solution that respects your situation without prolonged legal battles.

Fundamental Objectives
Your Powerful Transformation in the Legal Arena
Picture this: a world where you are no longer trapped by the limitations of a system that works against you. Where you no longer have to fight a cold and indifferent structure that stands in your way—but instead, you take control of your own legal battle. A world where you’re no longer dependent on the whims of a system that often ignores you. What if I told you that you have the power to change all of that? That the legal barriers you’ve encountered aren’t the end of your story—but the beginning of your transformation? That’s exactly what VIA SEBASTIANO can mean for you. It’s not just part of Van Leeuwen Law Firm’s CSR policy—it’s a powerful catalyst for change, a fundamental shift in how we think, act, and fight for justice.
You’ve always had the right to be heard, to experience justice—but the path to get there has often been long, unclear, and confusing. Now, you can walk that path with confidence. Imagine no longer being bound by the rules of a system that feels like a prison. What if you now hold the key to unlock those prison doors and embrace the freedom that was always meant for you? This is your moment to radically change your life—to break free from the legal burdens that have held you back for years. You are not the exception—you are the standard. It’s time to embrace your true self: a powerful, self-assured individual with the right to determine your own future. And that starts now—with VIA SEBASTIANO as the key to your legal liberation.
Equal Access to Justice – The Foundation of Your Legal Freedom
Think back to all those moments when you felt like your rights weren’t being respected. Those times when you knew you were right but didn’t know how to defend yourself. Maybe you felt excluded, maybe powerless in the face of a legal bureaucracy that always seemed to favor those who could afford it. What would it mean to you to know that those hurdles no longer stand in your way? What if I told you there’s a way to bridge that legal divide and ensure that you have just as much access to justice as anyone else? VIA SEBASTIANO doesn’t just open the door—it empowers you to win your legal battle, regardless of your financial situation.
This is not just an idea. This is your new reality. No more legal barriers—no overpriced lawyers you can’t afford, no endless paperwork that makes you doubt yourself—nothing will stand in your way of defending your rights anymore. What if you now have access to the tools you need to handle your legal situation with confidence? This isn’t just about getting help—it’s about taking your rights into your own hands and defending them with determination. The rules are being rewritten, and you have the power to influence the outcome of your case. The systems that once worked against you now work for you. It’s time to recognize yourself as the force you’ve always been and to say: “Now it’s my turn to rise.”
Empowering Disadvantaged Groups – Your Voice as a Catalyst for Change
Imagine having not just the power to fight for yourself, but also for those who are so often overlooked. Think about the vulnerable groups in our society—people trapped in legal nets that hold them back again and again: those going through divorces, victims of abuse, people in debt, or those who simply don’t have access to the resources they need to claim their rights. What would it mean to be a voice for them? What if you have the power to support these people, to empower them—and together, create a movement of change?

Your story can be the spark that ignites a transformation the world so badly needs.
Fighting for Social Justice – Together for a Better Future
What would it mean for the world if we all stood up together for social justice? If we no longer accepted a system that is fundamentally unjust—but instead reformed it to create a society where justice truly exists for everyone?

Subsidized Legal Aid
Subsidized Legal Aid in the Netherlands
The system of subsidized legal aid in the Netherlands is a fundamental component of the legal system, designed to make legal assistance accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. It provides the opportunity to receive legal support without imposing a significant financial burden on the individual. This system plays a critical role in promoting social justice by bridging the gap between socio-economic groups and enabling people to defend their rights even when they otherwise could not afford it. Subsidized legal aid ensures that the law is not just a tool for those who can financially afford legal proceedings, but becomes a means of ensuring equality and justice for all citizens of society.
Subsidized legal aid allows the most vulnerable groups in society to initiate legal proceedings when they face legal disputes, such as conflicts with employers, disputes over rental contracts, or even when accused of a crime. It ensures that the law applies to everyone and protects against legal and financial exclusion, which could otherwise lead to greater inequality in society. In doing so, the system plays a vital role in maintaining the rule of law and promoting social cohesion by ensuring that no one loses their rights due to a lack of financial resources.
Requirements
To be eligible for subsidized legal aid in the Netherlands, several conditions must be met. These conditions are outlined in the Legal Aid Act (Wrb), which aims to ensure fair and equitable access to justice, particularly for individuals with limited income or assets. The main requirement is that the applicant’s income and assets must be below a specific socio-economic threshold, which is set annually by the government. It is crucial that this threshold is accurately determined to ensure that the right individuals, who are genuinely in financial difficulty, receive support.
In addition to the income and asset limits, the nature of the case also plays a role. When someone applies for subsidized legal aid, the legal enforceability of the case is assessed, meaning the likelihood of success. The system is not intended to automatically grant legal assistance to everyone, but rather targets those who have a legitimate interest in pursuing legal action and whose chances of success are reasonable. Furthermore, the application for subsidized legal aid must always be submitted through a lawyer who is registered with the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand (Legal Aid Council) to ensure the quality and legality of the provided legal support. This guarantees the applicant that they will receive professional support in their legal matter.
Another key requirement is the obligation to pay a personal contribution, which is determined based on the applicant’s income and assets. This personal contribution is a way to ensure that the subsidized legal aid system does not unduly burden taxpayers and that the system is not misused by individuals who can afford legal assistance. This system ensures that the costs are distributed fairly, with those who are financially better able to contribute to their legal costs doing so, while those who cannot afford it are relieved of the burden.
Discount at the Juridisch Loket (Legal Desk)
The Juridisch Loket plays an important role in making legal assistance accessible to the entire society. It provides easy access to legal information and advice, allowing anyone, regardless of their background or education level, to understand legal problems and find solutions. The Juridisch Loket was established to ensure an accessible legal system and is therefore a key part of promoting legal equality. It serves as the first point of contact for individuals who have legal questions but do not want or cannot afford to immediately hire a lawyer. The Juridisch Loket offers advice and support, often in the form of an initial orientation meeting, and refers clients to specialized lawyers or other legal professionals when needed.
One important initiative of the Juridisch Loket is to provide a €59 discount on the personal contribution for clients who are referred to a lawyer or legal service provider via telephone. This discount is significant for individuals who might otherwise hesitate to seek legal assistance due to the cost of the personal contribution. The discount lowers the threshold for accessing legal support, enabling people with modest incomes or limited financial means to obtain professional legal help. This initiative promotes social inclusion by ensuring that legal assistance is not only available to the wealthier segments of society but also accessible to all those eligible for legal support.
Special Support
Special Support is a benefit in the social safety net of the Netherlands, designed specifically for people facing temporary extraordinary expenses. These could be unexpected costs that an individual cannot bear due to their limited financial situation. The aim of Special Support is to prevent people from falling into greater financial difficulties due to unforeseen necessary expenses, such as sudden medical costs, additional expenses for legal assistance, or costs arising from unforeseen events like a fire or the loss of a pet.
Special Support plays an important role in the subsidized legal aid system, as it can help cover the personal contribution that is charged to a client when applying for legal assistance. This makes legal help more accessible for people temporarily in difficult financial circumstances but still eligible for support in resolving their legal matters. Therefore, Special Support can serve as a safety net for individuals who might otherwise not be able to afford their legal costs. The system ensures that no one is excluded from legal help due to temporary financial setbacks, thus promoting social justice within the legal system.
Shifting the Reference Year
The regulation for shifting the reference year is an important provision in the subsidized legal aid system. It offers individuals the opportunity to use their income from a previous year as the basis for their eligibility for support when their financial situation has temporarily worsened. This is particularly important for individuals whose income has been reduced due to unforeseen circumstances, such as job loss, illness, or other temporary issues. By using the income from a previous year as the reference, this provision ensures that a temporary drop in income does not exclude individuals from receiving subsidized legal aid, which could otherwise result in an unjust loss of access to legal assistance.
The system for shifting the reference year ensures that subsidized legal aid always takes into account the actual situation of the affected person. If someone temporarily earns less, for example due to unemployment, it can be a significant burden to pay the personal contribution for legal support. By shifting the reference year, this person can still qualify for support based on their higher income from the previous year, ensuring they do not find themselves in a position where they cannot access legal help due to temporary financial setbacks.
Retroactive Income Verification
The retroactive income verification in the subsidized legal aid system serves to ensure transparency and fairness in the process of granting assistance. After someone has received legal help based on provisional income statements, a check is conducted after a certain period (usually two years) to verify whether the reported income and assets actually match the data held by the tax authorities. This control is necessary to prevent the system from being exploited by individuals who unlawfully receive subsidized legal aid while actually having more income or assets than reported.
Retroactive income verification ensures that subsidized legal aid is always granted in a fair and responsible manner. If discrepancies are found between the reported data and the actual situation, adjustments may be made to the granted assistance or even a repayment of the subsidy may be required. This system helps ensure that only those who genuinely qualify for subsidized legal aid receive it.
Repayment of Subsidy after Conviction
The regulation that has been in place since March 1, 2017, states that individuals who have received subsidized legal aid and are eventually convicted may, in some cases, be required to repay the subsidy received. This applies to individuals who have received legal aid under the provision of provisional detention and are later found guilty. The repayment of the subsidy is intended to prevent individuals who can afford to pay for their legal assistance from unlawfully taking advantage of the subsidized system. This ensures a fair distribution of public funds and helps prevent abuse of the subsidy system.
The repayment of the subsidy is a necessary mechanism to maintain the equality and fairness of the system. It prevents individuals who are able to afford the costs of their legal support from receiving subsidized legal aid. Moreover, it ensures that subsidies are used efficiently and justly, making sure that they are only available to those who genuinely need financial assistance to defend their rights.
Personal Contribution
The personal contribution, which is part of the subsidized legal aid system, is a key element of the system. It ensures that the costs of legal support are fairly divided between the affected individual and the state. The amount of the personal contribution is based on various factors, including the applicant’s income and assets. The higher the income or assets, the higher the personal contribution that must be paid. The personal contribution system aims to prevent individuals who can afford to pay for their legal support from unfairly taking advantage of subsidized legal aid.
The establishment of a personal contribution ensures that subsidized legal aid is funded responsibly, without overly relying on public funds. It ensures that the help truly benefits those who need it the most, while preventing the system from being exploited by individuals who could afford to pay for their own legal assistance.
