    In dubio pro reo? You’d better trust your criminal lawyer in Cologne! 

    Suc­cess­ful crim­i­nal defence requires expe­ri­enced tri­al lawyers who make the clien­t’s posi­tion heard. Do not hope that crim­i­nal pro­ceed­ings will set­tle them­selves and that the pub­lic pros­e­cu­tor’s office will inves­ti­gate 100% objec­tive­ly. Instead, rely on the com­pe­tent defence of an expe­ri­enced crim­i­nal lawyer. We secure your rights in court pro­ceed­ings. Whether in the pre­lim­i­nary, inter­me­di­ate or main pro­ceed­ings — at every stage of the process you can be advised and defend­ed by your spe­cial­ist lawyer for crim­i­nal law in Cologne. Hir­ing a crim­i­nal defence lawyer at an ear­ly stage helps to avoid mis­takes and to ensure the best pos­si­ble out­come of the tri­al. With the pro­fes­sion­al exper­tise that goes with­out say­ing for us, we see it as our task to explain all pro­ce­dures and strate­gies to you as trans­par­ent­ly and com­pre­hen­si­bly as pos­si­ble through­out the crim­i­nal pro­ceed­ings. You can dis­cuss and assess pos­si­ble deci­sions and cours­es of action in detail with us in con­sul­ta­tion with your crim­i­nal lawyer in Cologne.

    Talk is silver, silence is gold

    “He is to be advised that accord­ing to the law he is free to com­ment on the accu­sa­tion or not to tes­ti­fy on the mat­ter”
    (§ 136 para. 1 p.2 Code of Crim­i­nal Procedure)

    Depend­ing on the stage of the pro­ceed­ings, it is impor­tant to act quick­ly. If you have received an indict­ment, your lawyer for crim­i­nal law will apply for an exten­sion of the time lim­it set in accor­dance with sec­tion 201 of the Code of Crim­i­nal Pro­ce­dure, dur­ing which you can raise objec­tions to the open­ing of the pro­ceed­ings. If you have received a police sum­mons, we inform the inves­ti­gat­ing author­i­ty that no state­ment will be made before the files are inspect­ed. In any case, we apply to the pub­lic pros­e­cu­tor’s office or the court for inspec­tion of the files.

    The inspec­tion of files enables your lawyer for crim­i­nal law to gain a com­pre­hen­sive view of the evi­dence and to clar­i­fy whether and which mis­takes were made by the inves­ti­gat­ing author­i­ties and whether indi­vid­ual pieces of evi­dence can be used at all. Often, insuf­fi­cient instruc­tions to the accused, unlaw­ful search war­rants or oth­er pro­ce­dur­al errors are found in the course of the pre­lim­i­nary inves­ti­ga­tion. An indict­ment can also be invalid if the infor­ma­tion on the charge is so insuf­fi­cient that the offence can­not be suf­fi­cient­ly spec­i­fied in terms of time and place.

    Personal consultation and support by experienced criminal defence attorney 

    In a per­son­al con­sul­ta­tion with us, you will dis­cuss the con­tents of the file with your crim­i­nal lawyer and clar­i­fy the fur­ther defence strat­e­gy. This is strict­ly based on the real­is­tic defence objec­tive (acquit­tal, dis­con­tin­u­a­tion, low­est pos­si­ble sen­tence). We will explain to you the exact course of any court pro­ceed­ings and why which motions (motions for evi­dence, motions for sus­pen­sion, motions for dis­con­tin­u­ance, motions for bias) will be made or not made by us. As spe­cialised lawyers for crim­i­nal law, we fight nation­wide at fair costs and with all the legal means at our dis­pos­al for the opti­mal out­come of your court case. The pos­i­tive feed­back and eval­u­a­tions from our clients moti­vate us anew every day!
