Legal defense with respect for the life and dignity of every living being.
The protection of animals is now a recognized and important field of Greek law, enshrined both in the Constitution and in specific legislation. At Maria Koromila Legal Solutions, we are committed to defending animal rights by offering specialized legal services in cases of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or violations of animal welfare regulations.
What Animal Protection Law Provides
Following recent legislative amendments, animal abuse is now classified as a felony, carrying severe criminal penalties for perpetrators. The current legal framework (Law 4830/2021 and related provisions) explicitly states the obligation of all citizens to ensure the welfare, medical care, feeding, and safety of animals—whether owned or stray.
Our Services Include:
-
Legal support for individuals or animal welfare organizations reporting incidents of abuse or neglect
-
Filing of criminal complaints and representation in court to support the prosecution
-
Participation in legal proceedings for the removal of animals from abusive environments
-
Legal advice on adoptions, owner obligations, and liability for stray animals
-
Support for animal welfare groups and volunteers in administrative and judicial matters
Our Philosophy
We firmly believe that animals are not "objects," but sentient beings with rights that the law must respect and protect. Every case we take on in this field is handled with sensitivity, persistence, and legal precision, aiming to achieve justice—not just for people, but for our most silent companions.
If you have witnessed or been affected by animal abuse, or if you need legal guidance on animal welfare and protection matters, contact us today.
Their voice needs yours—and our legal defense.
