Member of the Intercollegiate Review Committee

As a member of the Intercollegiate Review Committee (CIT), DL Advocatuur plays a key role in the legal system. The CIT is an independent review committee ensuring the quality and legality of administrative decisions. It assesses objections and appeals against administrative decisions before court proceedings, adding a layer of care and avoiding unnecessary litigation.

DL Advocatuur has an experienced jurist on this committee, critically reviewing complex administrative cases and providing independent advice on legal grounds. This strengthens our expertise in administrative law, allowing us to better advise and assist clients in procedures.

The CIT evaluates whether administrative decisions comply with laws like the General Administrative Law Act (Awb). It may recommend revising, upholding, or taking additional measures, promoting fairness and transparency in administrative law.

For clients, CIT membership means deep understanding of administrative review mechanisms, anticipating objections or complications early. This increases success chances in appeals against government decisions.

It also helps identify recurring issues in administrative bodies, allowing proactive advice on risks and opportunities in procedures. This makes our service unique and adds assurance.

Need a lawyer with current, in-depth knowledge of administrative law? Contact DL Advocatuur for expert advice, strong legal support, and commitment at every step. With CIT experience, you’re guaranteed professional assistance with a sharp eye for quality and legality.

Legal Areas

Immigration Law

Immigration law is complex and ever-changing, covering rules for entry, residence, and deportation in the Netherlands. It touches fundamental human rights and personal circumstances. Areas include residence permits, asylum, family reunification, integration, and naturalization. Legal guidance is essential for success.

DL Advocatuur has extensive experience in immigration procedures: regular residence permits (study, work, au-pair, medical treatment), family reunification (strict income, relationship, and integration test requirements), and asylum (preparing hearings, appeals). We also assist with detention/expulsion cases, naturalization, and nationality loss.

Immigration Detention

Immigration detention is a measure where the government detains individuals without valid residency, often prior to deportation. Though not a punishment, conditions are strict. DL Advocatuur specializes in challenging detention legality and representing clients in court.

Quick action is crucial. We assist with deportation, detention, and appeals against IND decisions, including urgent procedures.

Criminal Law

Everyone may face criminal law, whether accused of theft, assault, drug possession, threats, or traffic offenses. Early legal assistance is vital—from police interrogation to court hearings.

DL Advocatuur handles cases in Almere and nationwide: arrests, pre-trial detention, court hearings, or appeals. We also assist with penalty orders or criminal record objections.

Childcare Benefit Scandal (Recovery Scheme)

The Recovery Scheme supports parents wrongly affected by the childcare benefit scandal, where the Tax Office unjustly stopped or reclaimed benefits. DL Advocatuur helps with applications, appeals, and compensation claims.

We guide you through complex procedures, ensuring your rights are protected for financial recovery, debt relief, or personal compensation. Free intake available.

Administrative Law

The General Administrative Law Act (Awb) governs relations between government and citizens/ businesses. Examples include permit refusals or benefit reclaims. We handle objections against municipalities or agencies, followed by court appeals if needed.

Social Security Law (Various Benefits):

1) Welfare
2) Unemployment (WW)
3) Work Disability (WIA)
4) Sick Pay (ZW)
5) Disability for Young (Wajong)
6) State Pension (AOW)
7) Personal Budget (PGB)
8) Social Support Act (WMO), etc.

Issues with benefits? DL Advocatuur specializes in social security disputes.

The system includes social insurance and provisions. Welfare (Participatiewet) covers basic living costs for those unable to support themselves, with conditions like cohabitation rules ("kostendelersnorm") and work obligations.

Social insurance includes employee schemes (sick pay, disability, unemployment) and national schemes (child benefit, survivor benefits, state pension). We assist with objections and appeals against benefit decisions.

Debt Restructuring (WSNP)

The Natural Persons Debt Restructuring Act (WSNP) offers a path to debt-free futures for those in financial trouble through no fault of their own. A 3-year process may lead to a "clean slate" if obligations are met.

Tenancy Law

Tenancy law covers rental agreements for homes, businesses, or movable property. We handle disputes on termination, eviction, subletting, defects, or nuisance, advising tenants and landlords alike.

Personal Injury

Accidents causing injury lead to financial, emotional, and future damages (lost income, pain compensation, pension loss). We help claim compensation to secure your future.

Liability Law

Liability law determines responsibility for damage caused by others (traffic accidents, defective products, falls, pets, etc.). We advise on claims or defenses, aiming for swift resolutions via negotiations or court.
