    How We Can Help

    The ADF has a support protocol to help legal cases from the moment we are informed about a new incident. Once we get in touch with those involved, we conduct an initial assessment and support the development of a defense plan. We decide on a case-by-case basis what level of involvement we can offer, taking the ADF support criteria and available resources into consideration.


    Here are the considerations we take into account before deciding on the appropriate level of involvement
