Allegations in the area of ​​sexual crimes are among the most serious and dangerous accusations that defendants can face. The evidence is often difficult and it is often a case of one person’s word against another’s.

In the best case scenario, such allegations can be addressed right from the start, potentially avoiding a public trial. If that’s not possible, the defense attorney must be familiar with all the procedural details of the case.

Internet criminal law ranges from hacker attacks to cases of advance payment fraud on the Internet, e.g. through so-called fake shops, fraud on so-called cyber trading platforms, and cases of cyber grooming to the trade in weapons, drugs, counterfeit money and child pornography on the darknet.

These case groups usually require special technical knowledge.

Anyone can be accused of a traffic offense. When defending against this offense, the specifics of criminal and traffic law must always be taken into account, especially with regard to the driver’s license.

Making statements on the matter is particularly dangerous in this area because what may be helpful in criminal proceedings can, on the other hand, lead to the loss of a driver’s license.

Economic criminal law deals with criminal acts in the economic sector. Whether it is fraud, breach of trust, embezzlement of wages or money laundering – these are no longer mere minor offenses. In fact, prominent examples have shown that one can go to prison for many years for such offenses.

The clearance rate for white-collar crimes is relatively high, as evidence can often be found online, on cell phones, or elsewhere. Therefore, it’s important to find the right strategy with a suitable lawyer.

Accusations of sexual harassment, offensive or even abusive behaviour are often made completely unexpectedly. Even trivial physical contact or subtle advances can result in serious employment, disciplinary and criminal consequences. Under the new sexual criminal law, even low-level sexual misconduct can be punished with a minimum sentence of six months’ imprisonment (sexual assault). Despite the usually thin evidence (one person’s word against another’s) and frequent false accusations, every accusation of sexual misconduct, no matter how remote it may seem, must be taken very seriously. Often the alleged behaviour is not based on malicious intent or is simply based on a misunderstanding in communication or mutual attraction.

If the accusation of killing (or attempted killing) a person is raised, an aggressive and comprehensive defense is necessary, which requires extensive and in-depth experience in this area. Capital offenses such as murder, manslaughter, bodily harm resulting in death, etc. carry very high penalties, up to life imprisonment, possibly with a finding of particular severity of guilt or even preventive detention. Even the smallest mistake in the defense can have fatal consequences, especially since the penalties for homicide range from a mere fine or even no punishment (e.g. in the case of negligent homicide) to decades of imprisonment. It is therefore essential to work with a goal-oriented defense team at an early stage in order to achieve the best possible result despite the seriousness of the accusations.

Accusations of sexual assault, sexual coercion and rape can happen to anyone. Too often accusations are not taken seriously (because, for example, one is not aware of guilt or the alleged crime occurred a long time ago). A criminal assault can occur without any violence or coercion (even rape does not legally require violence).

Even without a “no”, the behavior can be punishable, as it is supposed to depend solely on the (often ambivalent or not clearly expressed) will of the other person. Despite usually thin evidence (word against word) and frequent false accusations, sex against an alleged opposing will can result in several years in prison (without parole).

The mere accusation of a sexual offense is a threat to one’s existence – regardless of whether it is true or not. Abusive accusations often occur in connection with family disputes (abuse with abuse). There is a risk of witnesses being influenced in many ways – especially children – when questioned by relatives, teachers or police officers who are not trained in forensics.

Some reports are only made after many years – so allegations can be pursued up to 50 years later. Without in-depth knowledge – especially in the field of statement psychology and methodologically critical reports – an effective defense is hardly possible!
