For people accused of a criminal offence
Understand the allegations. Plan your defence.
An investigation raises questions that can rarely be answered from a single letter. We clarify the state of the proceedings, examine the possibility of taking on a mandate and develop the next steps after reviewing the available documents.
Discuss your matterAdvice & representation
The specific charge, the evidence and your personal situation are decisive for a defense. Access to the file and an orderly processing form the basis for deciding whether and how an opinion is issued. We coordinate the defense strategy with you.
We process letters from the police and public prosecutor's office, clarify your role in the proceedings and prepare for further communication. After taking over the mandate, we check that the file has been viewed and the appropriate time to make a statement.
If measures have already been taken, we review decisions, protocols and the documented circumstances. This shows which legal steps are possible in the specific proceedings.
We review the allegation, evidence and the deadlines specified in the letter. In the event of a legal dispute, we will prepare the defense together with you.
Traffic criminal law includes allegations relating to accidents, alcohol or drugs and behavior in road traffic. Possible consequences for the driving license are included in the test.
