Criminal law

Shoplifting, fraud, fare dodging – that kind of thing won’t happen to me! Unfortunately, the risk of being involved in criminal proceedings is high. Negligence, an overlooked bill, an argument with a supplier or neighbor: someone has already reported you and you’re being summoned to the police, even though everything was completely different. Criminal defense lawyers are not only responsible for major criminal cases. As soon as the police are involved, you as a layperson should make sure you have the support of an experienced criminal defense lawyer, even if the matter seems ridiculous to you at first. We advise you on these everyday difficulties and hope to find a solution together with you. A criminal charge is usually a heavy burden for the person concerned, especially if it is associated with arrest, search or confiscation. In this situation, we are at your side as an advisor, assert your rights and present exculpatory circumstances to public prosecutors, authorities and courts. The main goal is to achieve the outcome of the proceedings for the person concerned that means the least possible interference with their personal and financial situation, e.g. by avoiding a driving ban or being spared from pre-trial detention. The sooner the necessary defense work is initiated, the greater the chances of achieving the best possible outcome. We are also familiar with the concerns of imprisoned clients and the social and family problems associated with imprisonment. The involvement of relatives and other trusted persons in the detention situation is therefore something that we always pay particular attention to in our work.
