About me
I received extensive training in criminal law and procedure and have worked in this legal field exclusively ever since I started my practice. Apart from developing my expertise as a defence attorney and being a member of several professional networks, I am also a part time university lecturer in criminal law.

Just as my clients, who are individuals and small businesses, I am an independent solo practicioner who values absolute confidentiality and individual client care.
I am fluent in English and I’ll gladly help me English speaking clients through German criminal proceedings while conducting all client-attorney communication in English.

You can either bring your own translator to our consultation or just let us know upfront if we have to call in a translator for you.

You may also contact me if you are dealing with a cross-border criminal case, e.g. regarding matters of extradition, international or European arrest warrants.
