The internet is not a lawless space. On the contrary: Specialized investigative authorities (such as the ZAC in Baden-Württemberg) prosecute online crimes with state-of-the-art technology and high severity.
Whether in Mannheim, Heidelberg, or Karlsruhe: A careless remark in a chat or an order from abroad can lead to a house search. As your defense attorney, I understand the technical background and the legal pitfalls.
Defamation & "Hate Speech"
Political discussions on social media escalate quickly. What used to stay at the regulars' table is now screenshotted and reported. We carefully examine whether your statement is covered by freedom of speech or if it actually constitutes criminal defamation or incitement to hatred. The goal is often to have the proceedings discontinued due to minor significance.
Darknet & Intercepted Mail
Many clients receive mail from the police because a shipment (often narcotics or medication) was intercepted by customs. The charge: Importation of narcotics. The rule here is: Remain silent! The fact that a package is addressed to you does not prove that you ordered it. We fight to ensure it remains a mere suspicion and that the proceedings are dropped.
Sextortion & Blackmail
An intimate video chat was secretly recorded, and now the perpetrator is demanding money? Do not pay! We support you in the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators and in stopping the distribution of the material.
Computer Fraud & Data Handling
From phishing to eBay classifieds fraud: The accusations are diverse. Often, innocent people also come under scrutiny because their account data has been misused by third parties (e.g., financial agents for money laundering). We clear up the facts.
