Criminal Law – Effective Defense at Every Stage

In German criminal law, personal responsibility plays a central role — and so does a defense strategy tailored to the individual case. Our attorneys represent you in all areas of criminal law and at every stage of the proceedings. The best defense opportunities arise when legal counsel is involved as early as possible, ideally at the beginning of the investigation. We act consistently and effectively to protect your rights and minimize public exposure. Our team draws on experience from hundreds of criminal investigations and main hearings.

Early Support During Investigations

We assist from the first investigative steps — including police summonses, searches, detention hearings, and early communication with investigative authorities.

Representation Before Court

After indictment, we represent you throughout the main proceedings and all subsequent stages, aiming for swift and discreet resolution.

Counsel for All Roles in Criminal Proceedings

We not only defend accused individuals but also support witnesses and private plaintiffs (Nebenkläger) and handle negotiations with investigative authorities.

Individual Responsibility and Individual Defense

In German criminal law, the focus lies on the personal responsibility of individuals. Accordingly, individual defense is the natural focus of our attorneys. Our lawyers will represent you in any area of criminal law and at every stage of criminal proceedings.

The Importance of Early Legal Counsel

The best defense opportunities always exist when legal counsel is engaged as early as possible — this means at the investigation stage, as soon as the police become active and, for example, issue a summons for an interrogation as a suspect.

Protecting Your Rights Throughout the Investigation

In such cases, we assert our clients’ rights consistently and effectively in dealings with investigative authorities. The burden of facing a criminal investigation by the public prosecutor can be immense, and the initiation of such proceedings alone may have serious consequences for those affected. From the outset, our approach is therefore aimed at resolving the matter as quickly as possible and with the least possible public exposure.

Extensive Experience in Criminal Proceedings

In handling criminal law matters, our attorneys draw on experience gained from hundreds of criminal proceedings and main hearings.
