First aid in your case
We steer you stably through all situations involving allegations under medical criminal law
Your rights in 3 steps!
Initial contact and initial consultation
In the first step, we take the time to understand your concerns in detail. You tell us about the allegation you have made and we work with you to establish a rough outline of the underlying facts in order to make an initial assessment. We will also determine whether further professional proceedings have already been initiated against you.
Individual strategy
Based on the initial consultation, we develop a defense strategy that is individually tailored to your case. In doing so, we keep an eye on all relevant dimensions of your case and, above all, anticipate what you may have to face in terms of professional law and how this can best be dealt with using a suitable overall strategy.
Defense:
In the final step, we implement the planned strategy in your defense. In doing so, we keep in mind that, ideally, you should not inform any chambers or health insurance companies about your criminal proceedings. We therefore try to have your proceedings discontinued during the preliminary proceedings.

To defend yourself against allegations of medical malpractice, it is important to consult a lawyer specializing in medical criminal law at an early stage. They can examine the allegations, secure evidence and develop a defense strategy that takes into account both the medical and legal aspects. We are at your disposal.
Regardless of whether you are accused of bribery or corruption in the healthcare sector, the question is whether there is unfair preference in competition. Whether the threshold for criminal liability has been exceeded can therefore be interpreted on a case-by-case basis. The defense usually aims to demonstrate that either no preferential treatment was given or, if it was, that it was even louder.
In the medical field, data is very sensitive and confidential and therefore particularly worthy of protection. Data breaches in the medical field, such as the unauthorized disclosure of patient data, can result in serious criminal penalties. Defending against such allegations requires an in-depth understanding of both the relevant criminal statutes and specific medical practice in order to develop effective defense strategies.
If you are under criminal investigation in the healthcare field, you should consult an experienced medical criminal law attorney immediately. Avoid making statements without legal advice as these can be used against you. As your lawyer, we will advise you on how to act and effectively protect your rights.
The duration of such proceedings can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the availability of evidence and the workload of the courts. Some cases can be concluded within a few months, while more complex cases can take years.
The consequences of criminal proceedings under medical criminal law can range from fines and low-threshold professional sanctions to prison sentences and the prohibition of practicing the profession and loss of license to practice. In addition, the reputation in the medical community and the trust of patients can be affected. Competent defense and representation is therefore crucial in order to keep the negative effects as low as possible.
