Course of criminal proceedings - your criminal defense

Criminal proceedings go through several important phases - from the first suspicion to the final judgment. Find out what you can expect at each stage.

My defense strategy

As a criminal defense lawyer, I focus on discontinuing proceedings instead of risky acquittals. Around 60% of proceedings are discontinued, resulting in no entries. I protect your interests through early defense and a strategic approach.

Police questioning/charge - what to do?

If you are summoned by the police, you are not obliged to appear. As the accused, you have the right to remain silent. Contact me before you make a statement. I will develop a statement and defense strategy for you after inspecting the files.

Overview: Relevant limits for alcohol, cannabis and other drugs

Different limits apply to drink-driving: From 0.5‰ there is a fine, from 1.1‰ it is a criminal offense. For cannabis, the limit is 3.5 ng/ml. For other drugs, mere evidence is sufficient for sanctions.

Drinking and driving

Drinking and driving - consequences, driver's license, MPU

Drinking and driving is severely punished. From 0.5‰ there is a fine and driving ban, from 1.1‰ it is a criminal offense with driving license revocation. An MPU is ordered from 1.6‰ at the latest.

Penalty order - what to do?

A penalty order is a judgment without a court hearing. You have 2 weeks to lodge an objection. Let me check the penalty order to weigh up your chances and risks.

House search - what to do?

A warrant is required for house searches. Stay calm, do not make any statements and get legal assistance.

Limits at the wheel

Drugs at the wheel - consequences, driver's license, MPU

Driving under the influence of drugs is a punishable offense and leads to a fine or criminal proceedings. Depending on the severity, there is a risk of a driving ban, points and an MPU. Early legal advice is important.

Pre-trial detention

Pre-trial detention and arrest warrant

Pre-trial detention is imposed on urgent suspicion and grounds for detention such as risk of absconding. Those affected have the right to a defense and detention review.
