My phones, computers, and bank accounts were seized as part of a criminal proceeding. Can I get them back?
The seizure does not necessarily mean that those assets will remain permanently in the hands of the judicial authority. First, it is essential to understand what type of seizure has been ordered and for what purpose. In the case of evidentiary seizures, phones, computers, documents, or other assets can be obtained when they are necessary…

I had a fight with a classmate. He says he’ll report me. What’s the risk?
A physical altercation between classmates does not automatically establish criminal liability: it is essential to accurately reconstruct how the events unfolded, who initiated the aggression, whether injuries were sustained, the specific conduct of each individual involved, and whether the grounds for self-defense may apply. If the incident resulted in injuries, the matter may carry both…

We’re separating. How will the house be divided? Whose children will they be? How much child support will I have to pay? And can I move to another city with the kids?
There are four closely related issues, but there is no one-size-fits-all answer for each family. The family home is regulated primarily by the interests of the children: the potential assignment of the house does not necessarily align with the ownership of the property and must also be assessed in light of the living situation of…

I’ve received tax bills and I’m worried they might seize my house. Can I defend myself?
Yes, but it is essential to intervene promptly. The first step is to carefully check each folder and reconstruct your debt position by reviewing notifications, requested amounts, any payments already made, prescription, expiration, and any possible flaws in the act. Not all amounts requested by the collection agent are necessarily uncontestable. The risk of property…

I was in a car accident. The insurance company made me an offer that I consider too low. Can I refuse it and ask for more compensation?
Yes, but the issue must be addressed with care and, above all, based on a correct quantification of the damage. The amount proposed by the insurance company does not automatically represent the definitive measure of what is owed to the damaged party. The offer must be evaluated in light of the dynamics of the accident,…

My company hasn’t paid me my salary for several months and hasn’t yet paid me my severance pay. What can I do to recover what I’m owed?
The non-payment of wages should not be regarded as a mere internal difficulty of the company, especially when the delay extends for months. Compensation represents the countervalue for the work performed, and when the employer systematically fails to provide it, the employee can activate the tools provided by law to achieve the verification and recovery…

I received a complaint or summons from the Carabinieri or the Public Prosecutor. Do I have to show up alone or do I need a lawyer?
The first rule is to never underestimate a summons from the judicial authority or the judicial police, and above all, not to appear without having first understood precisely in what capacity one is being called. A summons can indeed concern a person informed about the facts, a victim, a witness, or a person under investigation,…

Deepfakes and faces used without consent: what to do.
The use of a person’s image through artificial intelligence systems to create photographs, videos, or other artificially manipulated content represents one of the new frontiers of personal protection in the digital environment. The phenomenon of deepfakes indeed allows for the use of an individual’s face, voice, or other identifiable elements to construct seemingly realistic content,…

Defamation on social media: when can you seek compensation?
The dissemination of content through social networks has profoundly changed the way a person can be exposed to the judgment of others, making it possible for a statement, an image, or an accusation to spread in an extremely short time and to a potentially indefinite number of recipients. When such communication unjustly harms a person’s…

Instagram account hacked: what legal remedies are available?
The violation of an Instagram account does not merely represent a difficulty in accessing a personal profile, but can transform into a matter of criminal, civil, and patrimonial relevance when an unauthorized individual gains access to the credentials, modifies the associated email address or phone number, publishes content not attributable to the owner, contacts others…
