Legal problems can be life-changing. Whether you are suspected of a criminal offense, a victim in a criminal case, an asylum seeker worried about your future in the Netherlands, or have questions regarding immigration law, you deserve an attorney who can empathize with your situation. An attorney who not only knows the rules but also understands the human side. At Izgi Advocatuur, we work on your case with full conviction and dedication. Honest, involved, and decisive. Your interests always come first.

In 2025, Izgi Advocatuur was founded by Mr. Y. (Joseph) Izgi, driven by one clear mission: to provide expert, honest, personal, and decisive legal assistance.

After years of gaining experience in criminal law, victim rights, and asylum and immigration law, he decided to start his own law firm where clients can rely on an attorney who truly stands by them.

Mr. Izgi specializes in the following legal areas: criminal law, victim rights, asylum law, and immigration law.

Criminal Law
My extensive background at the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the court has given me a unique perspective on criminal cases. I know how judges and prosecutors assess a case and use this knowledge to defend your position to the fullest. Whether you are suspected of a property crime, a violent or life crime, or a traffic or drug offense, I am by your side.

Victim Rights
I also provide expert assistance to victims in criminal cases. Thanks to my previous work at Victim Support Netherlands and my experience in criminal law, I know how impactful a criminal case can be for victims and their relatives. I offer legal support and guidance through what is often an emotionally charged process.

Asylum Law
Asylum law and asylum procedures are about more than just rules and laws—they are about people’s lives, dreams, and uncertainties. Mr. Izgi knows from experience how challenging this process can be and what is at stake. Whether you are applying for asylum, have received a rejection you need to challenge, or anything in between, Izgi Advocatuur is the right place for you.

Immigration Law
Immigration law is a very broad legal field. Formally, a "foreigner" is anyone who does not hold Dutch nationality. At Izgi Advocatuur, you will receive expert assistance in regular immigration law matters. Whether it involves family reunification, naturalization, or other residence procedures, you are in the right place at Izgi Advocatuur.

Language Is the Key to a Strong Defense
Beyond the above, there is another reason why Izgi Advocatuur is the right choice for you: language. In legal procedures, communication is crucial. Whether you are a suspect or victim in a criminal case or fighting for your residence in the Netherlands or the residence (and/or travel) of your loved ones, friends, family members, or future employees, it is essential that you feel understood and that your story is conveyed clearly.

At Izgi Advocatuur, you can count on an attorney who is not only legally skilled but can often speak to you in your own language. In addition to Dutch, Mr. Izgi speaks English, German, Aramaic (Suryoyo), Turkish, and Kurdish. Direct communication without language barriers or misunderstandings.

Do you speak another language I am less proficient in? For example, Arabic? That is no problem at Izgi Advocatuur. I will warmly welcome you in Arabic, but soon after, I will assist you with the quality you expect from me, supported by an Arabic interpreter. In asylum procedures (and often in regular immigration procedures), you are usually entitled to a fully state-funded interpreter from the start of the process.
