Advocaat Nieman is a Leiden based law practice led by Willeke G. Nieman. The firm focuses on criminal defense and family law, guiding clients through pre trial, trial and post judgment phases with clear, practical advice. The attorney's background includes extensive court experience in criminal matters and a focus on family law issues such as alimony, parenting arrangements and child protection matters, ensuring tailored strategies for each client.

Clients benefit from a hands on service approach. The attorney maintains ongoing contact with clients via WhatsApp or email, and starts every engagement with a confidential intake to map out the case, timelines and likely outcomes. The practice emphasizes mediation as a preferred route to resolution where possible, and seeks to avoid criminal records by pursuing amicable settlements or alternatives when appropriate.

Beyond criminal defense and family law, Advocaat Nieman handles civil procedures and related disputes, providing representation in civil proceedings, pre trial preparation, and courtroom advocacy with a focus on client communication and practical resolution.
