Employment law

Have your wages not been paid, are you in a dispute with your employer, or have you received a settlement agreement? D-Legal helps you review the documents and understand your options.

  1. We discuss your question, your objectives and any deadlines.
  2. We review the relevant agreements, documents and correspondence.
  3. We discuss your options and agree on fees in advance.
  4. Within the agreed scope, we assist with advice, correspondence or discussions.

Discuss your situation

Administrative law

Have you received a decision from a municipality, water authority, or other government agency that you disagree with? For example:

  • Refusal or termination of benefits
  • A denied permit (e.g., for construction, hospitality, or an event)
  • An enforcement action, such as a penalty order or closure of premises

We first check the decision and the applicable deadline. We then discuss the necessary steps and request the case file where needed. A running deadline takes priority; we do not simply wait for all documents to arrive.

After reviewing the available information, we discuss your options and the fees. Within the agreed scope, we prepare the necessary documents and keep you informed.

Discuss your situation

Tenancy law

Are you involved in a dispute with your landlord concerning your home? For example:

  • Your home has serious defects, such as mould, leaks, inadequate heating or no hot water;
  • The landlord refuses to carry out necessary repairs;
  • You disagree with the rent, service charges or a rent increase;
  • Your landlord wants to terminate the tenancy agreement or is threatening eviction;
  • Your security deposit is not returned after the tenancy ends;
  • You want to be recognised as a co-tenant, but the landlord refuses to cooperate.

At D-Legal, we not only assess the legal dispute but also seek the most practical solution. We follow a clear approach:

  1. We review the tenancy agreement, correspondence and other supporting evidence;
  2. We assess your rights and the landlord’s legal position;
  3. We discuss the available options, costs and litigation risks with you;
  4. We hold the landlord liable or formally demand that they resolve the issue;
  5. If discussions do not lead to a solution, we can represent you in proceedings before the subdistrict court.

Discuss your situation

BKR registrations

You may not qualify for a mortgage, be unable to rent a home, or even be refused a simple subscription. Not every BKR registration is justified or proportionate. Common situations include:

  • A minor payment arrears that has long since been settled
  • A registration you were not aware of
  • A coding that disproportionately hinders you from building your future
  • The risk for a lender has long since disappeared because your financial situation is stable

We review the registration, relevant correspondence and your personal circumstances. We then assess whether there are sufficient grounds for a reasoned request to correct or remove the registration.

If the request is rejected, we discuss which further route is available and worthwhile, such as a complaint to Kifid where it has jurisdiction, or court proceedings. Removal is not automatic and cannot be guaranteed.

Discuss your situation

Consumer law and civil disputes

Do you have a dispute with a company, supplier, or individual? D-Legal can assist you in all kinds of civil disputes, such as:

  • A product that was not delivered
  • A service provider who does not keep to the agreement
  • A subscription that continues without justification
  • A client or opposing party who refuses to pay

We take a structured approach:

  1. We analyse the case and assess the legal position.
  2. If necessary, we formally place the opposing party in default.
  3. We send a clear demand or formal notice for payment or remedy.
  4. If no solution is reached, we initiate summons proceedings before the subdistrict court.

Where possible, we aim to resolve matters without going to court, as this is often faster and more cost-effective. However, when necessary, we will pursue the case all the way to court.

Discuss your situation

Debts and debt recovery

D-Legal helps you restore peace of mind and regain control of your situation.

  • Getting payment reminders?
  • Facing possible collection fees?
  • Are you facing possible seizure of assets?
  • Have you lost track of your financial obligations?

We always choose a solution-oriented and practical approach, so you can regain peace of mind and look ahead.

  1. We assess whether the claim is legally justified.
  2. We approach the creditor or collection agency with your side of the story.
  3. We aim for a reasonable arrangement, such as payment in instalments or waiving costs.
  4. If necessary, we present a defence or initiate legal proceedings.

Discuss your situation

Criminal penalty orders

The Public Prosecution Service can impose a penalty without the involvement of a judge, through what is known as a Strafbeschikking (criminal penalty order). This is done in relatively minor criminal cases, such as:

  • A fine or community service order following an incident
  • An accusation of shoplifting, common assault, or vandalism
  • A case in which your side of the story has not been heard

Short deadlines apply to opposition (verzet). The starting point is fourteen days after you become aware of the criminal penalty order; additional rules apply in certain cases. The date printed on the letter is therefore not necessarily the only relevant date.

Contact us promptly and include the order. We first assess the deadline and the appropriate next step. We then discuss the case file, legal options and the cost of assistance.
