Criminal defense lawyer Hamburg

As criminal defense attorneys, we focus exclusively on criminal law and have specific knowledge and experience in this area of law that goes far beyond the general understanding of a lawyer.

During the initial assessment, we analyze your case in detail in order to provide you with clear information about your legal situation and possible strategies for further action.

The cost of a consultation with us depends on the case in question. We will inform you transparently about any fees incurred before we start our work.

We endeavor to answer every inquiry as quickly as possible. As a rule, you can expect a response from us within one working day.

Our cooperation begins with a personal consultation, followed by comprehensive strategy development and representation in all phases of the criminal proceedings.

Our role as your criminal defense lawyer includes advising you, defending you in court and safeguarding your rights throughout the proceedings.

You should contact a criminal defense lawyer as early as possible, ideally immediately after you become aware of the charges against you. This enables us to set the course for a successful defense strategy at an early stage of the proceedings. As a rule, the initial consultation is a decisive step in positively influencing the course of criminal proceedings. Our law firm attaches great importance to providing you with the necessary professional support quickly. If you have any further questions and need information on criminal law, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A criminal defense attorney will work to obtain the best possible outcome for your case, including an acquittal if possible based on the evidence and possibly other factors.

You have the right to remain silent, to hire a lawyer and not to have to testify against yourself. As a specialist lawyer, we will inform you, our client, about all your rights and how they can best be applied in your case.

The fundamental difference between a public defender of choice and a public defender is that the public defender of choice is chosen and remunerated directly by the client and the public defender receives his remuneration from the state treasury. The person concerned must be given the opportunity to appoint a public defender of his choice. If he does not make use of this opportunity, a public defender shall be assigned to him at the discretion of the competent court - in the event of urgency at the discretion of the public prosecutor's office.

Defense lawyers of choice already receive higher fees for their work than public defense lawyers under the German Lawyers' Fees Act (Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz). However, even the fees payable to defense lawyers of choice under the Lawyers' Fees Act are not suitable for providing an optimal defense in economic terms.

As a rule, criminal defense lawyers conclude fee agreements with their clients that provide for flat-rate fees for individual stages of the proceedings or activities or regulate hourly rates.

A criminal trial begins with the preliminary investigation, followed by the arraignment and the main proceedings in court. We defend you in all stages of the proceedings.

Appeals and appeals on points of law can be lodged against judgments of the local court. Here too, we will provide you with comprehensive support and defense.
