Criminal Defense: Safeguarding Your Rights from the Very Beginning

In criminal proceedings, the principle applies: You do not have to incriminate yourself. The right to remain silent (Schweigerecht) is your strongest right – and we help you to exercise it consistently. We immediately request file inspection (Akteneinsicht), analyze the evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to your case. Whether dismissal of proceedings (Einstellung des Verfahrens), acquittal (Freispruch), or reduction of sentence (Strafminderung) – we fight for the best possible outcome.

• —Immediate assumption of mandate and file inspection
• —Advice on the right to remain silent
• —Communication with the public prosecution office and court
• —Preparation of the main hearing
• —Appeal and legal remedies

Assault, Property Offenses, and General Criminal Law

We represent defendants in all classical areas of criminal law: from simple assault (Körperverletzung) to property offenses and more serious allegations. It is important to us that you understand what you are accused of, what consequences threaten, and what options for action you have.

• —Assault (§§ 223 ff. StGB - German Criminal Code)
• —Theft and embezzlement (§§ 242, 246 StGB)
• —Fraud (§ 263 StGB)
• —Criminal damage (§ 303 StGB)
• —Trespass (§ 123 StGB)
• —Insult and defamation (§§ 185 ff. StGB)

Traffic Criminal Law: Driver's License and Criminal Proceedings

Drunk driving (Trunkenheitsfahrten), hit-and-run (Fahrerflucht), or dangerous interference with road traffic (gefährlicher Eingriff in den Straßenverkehr) can lead not only to fines but also to prison sentences and revocation of the driver's license (Führerscheinentzug). We represent you in criminal proceedings and driver's license law (Fahrerlaubnisrecht) to preserve your driver's license for as long as possible.

• —Driving under the influence (§ 316 StGB)
• —Driving without a license (§ 21 StVG - Road Traffic Act)
• —Unauthorized leaving of the accident scene (§ 142 StGB)
• —Dangerous interference with road traffic (§ 315b StGB)
• —Driving ban and revocation of driver's license

Juvenile Criminal Law

In juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht), education takes precedence over punishment (Erziehung vor Strafe). We represent juveniles and adolescents (14–21 years) before the juvenile court (Jugendgericht) and advocate for educational measures instead of imprisonment. In doing so, we work closely with families and, if applicable, the youth welfare office (Jugendamt).

• —Representation before the juvenile court
• —Dismissal of proceedings (§§ 45, 47 JGG - Juvenile Courts Act)
• —Outpatient measures instead of juvenile detention
• —Counseling of legal guardians
