As one of the leading criminal law firms nationwide, we have specialized in Criminal defense in court, particularly in the complex proceedings before the regional court as well as the substantial areas of appeals against the execution of pre-trial detention and criminal judgments already passed (appeal / revision).
Because, just like in medicine, the subject matter in criminal law is so extensive that only appropriate experience and specialization can guarantee the best possible success.
Specialist lawyers
Success in criminal law depends on the right lawyer. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked that – similar to a specialist in medicine – a narrow specialist focus is also necessary in criminal law in order to guarantee maximum success.
Experience in criminal law and criminal procedural matters is particularly important when the client’s goal differs greatly from that of the public prosecutor’s office, or when a conflict-ridden trial defense is involved.
For this reason, we offer our clients a team of proven specialists for every criminal matter: whether for confrontational trial defense in court, the highly complex legal matter of an appeal or criminal defense in special areas of criminal law, such as commercial, capital or sexual criminal law.
Only such a narrow focus guarantees the greatest possible success in the field of criminal law.
Anyone can be confronted with criminal proceedings at any time
Most people are completely unprepared for their first and hopefully last encounter with criminal law. Letters from the police, public prosecutors and courts often leave more questions unanswered than they answer – the same usually applies to personal encounters with law enforcement authorities.
One thing is certain: reports and police investigations must always be taken very seriously, if only because of the significant consequences that can arise (keywords: clearance certificate, entry bans into other countries, threatened intervention measures such as pre-trial detention or searches, long prison sentences, professional consequences and failure to be reliable, etc.)
Trial lawyers
The consequences of a conviction are serious in individual cases: in addition to fines and Prison sentences can result in long-term entries in the criminal record, as well as professional consequences or even problems entering the country (e.g. into the USA).
Criminal defense is a fight for the best result – whether acquittal, dismissal of proceedings or an acceptable sentence, taking into account all procedural and extra-procedural disadvantages.
This requires a rigorous implementation of the client’s rights in the context of extensive evidence gathering or the objection and challenge of incorrect decisions.
In criminal law in particular, the outcome is almost always open, especially when the facts relevant to the evidence are not clear, there is no physical evidence, or witnesses provide contradictory information. From a legal perspective, legal problems can often arise that can lead to a completely different outcome.
As a suspect of serious crimes, such as economic, official, violent or sexual crimes, without the necessary legal expertise and the required experience in dealing with the justice system and the media, you can quickly find yourself facing the complete destruction of your existence, so a well-considered and effective defense strategy that takes into account all the specifics of the individual case is of the utmost importance – the same applies to victims of serious crimes.
All of this applies particularly to the sometimes extremely complex proceedings before the regional court, but also during the public prosecutor’s investigation, since the order for a search or pre-trial detention can quickly endanger your professional and private future. In addition, experience has shown that prejudgment by the investigating authorities, but also by the media, is particularly pronounced in criminal law. The supposedly “neutral” public prosecutor’s office often tries to stir up sentiment against the person concerned by providing one-sided advance information from the indictment, thereby increasing the pressure on him even further.
Here it is particularly important for the accused to have an experienced, competent and assertive criminal defense attorney at his side from the outset in order to counteract negative developments at an early stage and to build an effective line of defense.
Team of specialists
Especially in trials where there is a threat of a high penalty and/or great public interest (such as in the case of accused in custody, major economic or capital and sexual offenses), the person concerned is faced with an superior number of procedural opponents, starting with the public prosecutor, co-plaintiff, lay judges and not infrequently also biased experts, through to the media and in particular also the – depending on the composition – up to 3 professional judges.
A trial is hardly balanced under these circumstances. In addition, if you are convicted by a regional court, you effectively have no second chance to have incorrectly assessed facts and evidence re-examined by a higher court. In addition, detention cases (pre-trial detention) and cases that are heard before the regional court require a wide range of qualifications.
For this reason, we offer our clients a specialist for every case and not one specialist for all cases. Because, true to the saying “four eyes see more than two“, it is inherently important, especially in larger criminal proceedings, to create synergies that allow you to have the right expert for every specialty of criminal law.
This is precisely why you do not have to limit yourself to a single defense attorney in criminal proceedings. The law allows a defendant to be defended simultaneously by up to three lawyers of his or her own choosing plus any public defender.
