Defense, Counsel and Legal Representation
I have been practicing law since February 2002. Following a Master's degree in Private Law at the University of Paris XII, I obtained a specialized post-graduate degree (DESS) in Public Procurement and Public Service Delegation at the University of Poitiers, and I am a graduate of the Institute of Public Business Law (Sceaux Paris XI).
From 2002 to 2005, I began my professional career as an associate attorney in a Parisian firm specializing primarily in business law.
I decided to found my own law firm in the Val-de-Marne department in 2005, first in Vincennes and then in Saint-Mandé.
Since the establishment of my firm, I have chosen to practice in a human-scale environment. This ensures that my clients receive personalized attention, and a relationship built on availability, responsiveness, and attentive listening.
Since 2002, Benjamin BOULARD uses his extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of family, criminal, and employment law to resolve complex disputes. His expertise guarantees clients a robust defense tailored to their specific needs, aiming to maximize the chances of success.
All cases are personally handled by Mr. BOULARD. This close and trust-based relationship aims to precisely meet the expectations and concerns of each individual client.
Mr. BOULARD takes the time to listen to each client in order to build an effective strategy with them, focused on their goals and priorities. This collaborative approach optimizes results while ensuring a full understanding of what is at stake.
Family law governs all family relationships and is often deeply rooted in personal experiences and human connections. It covers a wide range of areas such as separation (divorce, legal separation, de facto separation), adoption, name changes, third-party rights (grandparents), paternity establishment or contestation, inheritance, and matrimonial property regimes.
Admitted to the Paris Court of Appeal and practicing in Saint-Mandé, I assist you in navigating this complexity by advising you, proposing the most suitable solutions for your situation, and serving as an interface with the opposing party or their counsel.
Benjamin BOULARD is registered with the Val-de-Marne Bar Association. He handles litigation involving family law and all related legal branches.
If you are separated and wish to divorce legally, Benjamin BOULARD assists you in all divorce proceedings, including mutual consent divorces which no longer require a judge's intervention. A simple agreement drafted by respective attorneys is sufficient to facilitate the separation and reduce procedure times. In case of disagreement, the matter will be brought before the courts.
The firm also handles requests for name and surname changes, disputes regarding parental authority, as well as paternity claims.
Seeking advice on inheritance, succession rights, or the liquidation of matrimonial regimes? Benjamin BOULARD will examine your case with the utmost rigor to advise you on the most effective strategy. Many disputes can be settled amicably, as a mediator is sometimes all that is needed to restore communication cut off by family conflicts. The firm assists you in drafting parenting agreements in an amicable framework. If this fails, a strong case will be built to defend your interests before the judge.
Upon your request, Mr. BOULARD assists you in all areas related to criminal law, regardless of your status as a victim or a defendant. Because your case is unique, it is essential for us to treat it individually to guarantee the most effective defense possible.
Your attorney's mission is to guarantee the defense of victims of offenses, notably by helping them file a complaint. It is crucial to be well-advised from the very beginning so that the request is legally admissible. The attorney is also by your side throughout the investigation, during any trial via traditional pleadings, and in the context of claiming compensation for damages.
The firm also provides defense for any person accused of committing an offense, whether major or minor. Considering the right to defense as a fundamental principle, your attorney has the responsibility to advise and assist you throughout the judicial process. He intervenes significantly during the trial, where his pleading is delivered to best preserve and defend your interests, which heavily impacts the final decision and potential sentencing.
Mr. BOULARD also intervenes during police custody in Paris or its surroundings. The assistance of a criminal defense lawyer from the very first hours of the procedure guarantees that the individual's rights are respected. Police custody is a key moment, and rapid intervention is essential to prevent any unjustified pressure and ensure the interrogation proceeds under strict legal conditions.
Mr. BOULARD assists his clients in all areas of employment law, providing both advisory and litigation services. He brings comprehensive expertise in individual labor relations.
Labor law evolves every year in France. Your employment attorney maintains a constant legal watch, allowing you to benefit from up-to-date knowledge and ensuring your rights are fully protected and optimized.
An in-depth initial meeting to understand the personal or professional stakes of your case and transparently assess its legal feasibility.
Joint development of a precise action plan. We always prioritize amicable negotiation before preparing for litigation if necessary.
Rigorous implementation of legal procedures, drafting of legal documents, and strong representation by Mr. Boulard before the competent courts.
Closure of your case following the enforcement of court decisions or the signing of final agreements, ensuring support until the very end.
"To make the most of our first meeting, I invite you to bring your ID and any documents related to your case (employment contract, past judgments, correspondence, etc.). But if you don't have everything on hand, don't worry: we will review everything together to build your file step by step."
"It really depends on your situation. A mutual consent divorce (without a judge) can be finalized by me in a few months. However, in case of disagreement requiring us to go before the Family Court Judge, I will support you through a longer procedure, which can take one to two years."
"Absolutely. I intervene very quickly to assist you or your loved ones during police custody in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region. I believe that the presence of an attorney from the very first hours is crucial to immediately guarantee that your rights are respected."
"No, it is not automatic. I always prioritize exploring an amicable solution first (such as a settlement or a mutual termination agreement), as it is often faster and less costly for you. But if the conflict persists and litigation is unavoidable, I will be by your side to defend you tenaciously before the Employment Tribunal."
Mr. BOULARD attaches particular importance to the transparency and predictability of his fees. From the first meeting, you will be clearly informed of the billing methods applicable to your case.
Unless otherwise agreed, fees are based on the time dedicated to processing your case.
These fees cover the following services:
Depending on the nature of the case, its foreseeable complexity, the estimated processing time, and the client's financial situation, the firm may propose flat-fee billing. This solution allows determining in advance the total fee amount for specific procedures or legal services.
Depending on the stakes of the case, an additional success fee may also be agreed upon in accordance with the rules applicable to the legal profession in France. This fee is mutually agreed upon and is added to the principal fee.
Depending on your insurance contract, the firm's fees may be fully or partially covered by your legal protection insurance.
In all cases, we will propose a written fee agreement that we will define together at the very beginning of our intervention.
