Former gendarmerie officer – Consultant in criminal procedural analysis
After 27 years in the National Gendarmerie, including 21 years as a Judicial Police Officer and 10 years as an officer, I now assist criminal law firms in the technical and documentary analysis of criminal cases.
My experience has led me to direct judicial investigations, supervise and control procedures, and ensure the technical validation of numerous official reports before transmission to magistrates.
I intervene in particular on:
• chronological analysis of procedural acts;
• search for material or procedural inconsistencies;
• conformity check of official reports and investigation records;
• identification of documentary or operational weaknesses in a case file;
• structured synthesis of voluminous procedures.
What I bring to law firms:
• an operational perspective from the field and real-world judicial investigation experience;
• time savings in processing complex procedures;
• a methodical and rigorous analysis of procedural documents;
• an experienced external perspective on the overall consistency of a case file.
My intervention remains strictly technical and documentary, supporting the defense work of lawyers; legal advice, litigation strategy, and pleading are exclusively within their competence.
