Criminal Defense Attorney in Mannheim
As a specialized criminal defense law firm, we develop the right strategy to avoid critical mistakes when dealing with investigative authorities. Our firm represents defendants not only in the Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, and Frankenthal area. Thanks to fully digital case files and communication, we can represent you nationwide across Germany.
Effective criminal defense begins long before the courtroom. Ideally, it starts the moment you receive a police summons or a penalty order ("Strafbefehl"). The sooner you involve us, the higher the chances of averting an indictment and a criminal record.
Contact us now for a non-binding consultation! Appointments are available both at our offices in Mannheim (Oststadt) and nationwide via video conference.
