Initial Consultation – Frequently Asked Questions

The initial consultation at Matamoros Criminal Defense is free of charge and completely without obligation. You can book an appointment by phone, email, or WhatsApp. We offer consultations at our office in Mannheim, by video conference, or — in urgent situations such as an arrest or a house search — we will arrange to speak with you immediately by phone.

What Should I Bring to the First Meeting?

Bring every document the authorities have sent you: the summons, the search warrant, letters from the public prosecutor's office, and any court decisions. If you have already given a statement to the police, write down as accurately as possible what you said. The more information you can share at the outset, the faster we can assess your situation and take effective action. All information you share is strictly confidential and protected by attorney–client privilege under German law.

Nationwide Representation — Focus on Mannheim and the Rhein-Neckar Region

We represent clients throughout Germany. Our home jurisdiction is the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan area, covering Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, Karlsruhe, and the surrounding districts. For urgent matters — an ongoing search, an arrest, or a detention hearing — our emergency line is available around the clock. Send a brief WhatsApp message or call directly and we will respond within minutes.

Fees and Legal Aid

We offer a transparent fee structure. For the initial consultation there is no charge. For ongoing representation we bill either on the basis of statutory fees (RVG) or by hourly rate, depending on the complexity of the case. In urgent situations we can sometimes arrange legal aid (Pflichtverteidigung) if the statutory requirements are met. Ask us about your options at the first meeting.

We represent clients in all areas of criminal defense law — from first police contact through to final appeal. Whether you are dealing with a summons, a house search, an arrest, or a conviction you want to challenge, our team provides the focused, discreet representation you need. Contact us today to arrange your free initial consultation.
