FAQ

Questions clients ask about criminal cases

What is a private rights claim in a criminal case?

A private rights claim allows the victim to join a criminal prosecution and seek financial compensation for harm caused alongside the public prosecution. LEXIUM helps clients assess whether to pursue this alongside or separately from criminal proceedings.

Can LEXIUM help if the case has already been reported?

Yes. We can review the current status, assess available options, and advise on how to proceed — whether as a complainant, a private rights claimant, or in response to an accusation already filed.

Do you handle financial fraud and cybercrime cases?

Yes. We handle financial fraud, digital fraud, forgery, breach of trust, and related offences — both in pursuing compensation and in defending against unfounded accusations.

Is it possible to pursue compensation through both criminal and civil routes?

In some cases yes — pursuing a private rights claim in the criminal court while filing a civil claim can strengthen the overall strategy. We assess this on a case-by-case basis.
