Criminal law

Defence at all stages of proceedings

Criminal proceedings often begin long before the actual indictment. It is crucial that you seek legal representation as soon as the police begin their investigation, conduct house searches or issue summonses. I will accompany you from the initial investigative measures to the main hearing and beyond. In doing so, I will ensure that all your rights are protected and that no premature statements are made that could later harm you.

During the investigation phase, I examine all the evidence against you, analyse the investigation file and develop a tailor-made defence strategy. If charges are brought, I will prepare you optimally for the main hearing and fight in court for the best possible outcome of your case.

Focus areas of my criminal defence practice

My many years of experience in criminal law cover a wide range of offences. I particularly often defend clients in cases involving fraud, theft, assault, traffic offences and economic crimes. I can also assist you with allegations relating to cybercrime, drug offences or domestic violence.

Every case is unique and requires an individual approach. Through my thorough analysis of the evidence and my experience with the Berlin criminal justice system, I can often identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case and use them to your advantage. I work closely with experts and private investigators when necessary for your defence.

Dealing with the police and public prosecutor's office

Dealing with investigating authorities correctly can be decisive for the outcome of your case. Many clients make the mistake of speaking to the police without legal assistance in the hope of resolving the matter quickly. In doing so, they overlook the fact that even seemingly harmless statements can later be used against them.

I take care of all communication with the police and the public prosecutor's office and ensure that your interests are represented in the best possible way. I use my experience and negotiating skills to achieve favourable solutions even before a possible indictment. In many cases, I can bring proceedings to a halt or lead to their dismissal during the investigation phase.

File inspection and evidence analysis

A thorough analysis of the investigation file is the foundation of every successful defence. I comprehensively review the files and examine all evidence, witness statements and investigative measures for their legality and admissibility. In doing so, I pay particular attention to procedural errors that could lead to evidence being ruled inadmissible.

I often find inconsistencies, contradictory statements or illegally obtained evidence in the files, which can be crucial for your defence. These findings are incorporated into my defence strategy and can often lead to a significant weakening of the prosecution's case.

Negotiation and pleading

In the main hearing, a convincing and strategically astute defence is essential. I will prepare you optimally for the hearing, explain the process to you and work with you to develop the best defence strategy. In doing so, I take into account not only the legal aspects, but also the psychological factors that can influence the outcome of a hearing.

You will benefit from my experience before the Berlin criminal courts and my knowledge of local conditions. I am familiar with the working methods of judges and prosecutors and can adapt my defence strategy accordingly. My goal is always to achieve the best possible outcome for you – whether that is an acquittal, a dismissal of the case or the mildest possible sentence.

Criminal law for minors and young adults

Young people deserve special protection and a defence tailored to their situation. Juvenile criminal law pursues different goals than adult criminal law and offers special opportunities that I utilise in my defence. In doing so, I work closely with youth court assistance, probation services and other institutions.

For young and adolescent clients, the focus is not on punishment, but on education and rehabilitation. Together with my young clients and their families, I develop concepts that both meet legal requirements and open up positive prospects for the future.

Commercial criminal law and compliance

White-collar crime requires special expertise and a deep understanding of complex business processes. I defend entrepreneurs, managing directors and employees against allegations such as embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion or insolvency offences. In doing so, I work closely with tax advisors, auditors and other experts.

In white-collar crime proceedings, it is often not only the criminal consequences that are at stake, but also the protection of the company and its reputation. I develop comprehensive defence strategies that take into account criminal, civil and tax law aspects.

Traffic law and driving licence revocation

Traffic offences can have serious consequences for your mobility and your career. I defend you against allegations of drunk driving, hit-and-run, coercion or endangering road traffic. In doing so, I not only fight against the criminal consequences, but also for the preservation of your driving licence.

Especially for professional drivers or people who depend on their vehicle, I develop strategies to retain your driving licence or minimise the suspension period. I use all legal options and work with experts to clarify technical aspects.
