Criminal Defense

Anyone confronted with a criminal charge is often under considerable pressure. Investigative proceedings, searches, or a summons can entail personal, professional, and economic consequences.

As criminal defense lawyers in Göttingen, we represent clients in all areas of criminal law – with a special focus on tax criminal law and white-collar crime. Our firm in Göttingen serves clients from Southern Lower Saxony as well as from Kassel, Hanover, Braunschweig, and Hildesheim. Furthermore, we undertake mandates nationwide.

The decisive course of criminal proceedings is set early. Already during the investigative proceedings, evidence structures and legal assessments emerge that determine the further course.

Effective criminal defense therefore begins early. After reviewing the files, we develop an individual strategy for dealing with the public prosecutor’s office and investigative authorities. The goal is to actively influence the proceedings and consistently utilize legal leeway – particularly with a view to an early termination of proceedings.

In criminal proceedings, it is decided already at the investigative stage whether an indictment will be filed or not. A structured defense can help to limit or terminate proceedings before the public prosecution is brought.

The basis for this is a complete evaluation of the investigation file and a precise legal classification of the accusation and the evidence. Based on this, we develop a defense strategy that considers both legal risks and personal and economic implications.

A particular focus of our work as criminal defense lawyers in Göttingen is on tax criminal law and white-collar crime. Cases in these areas often concern entrepreneurs, managing directors, and senior executives.

Especially here, defense requires not only criminal law precision but also an understanding of economic matters. What is crucial is not only the legal assessment but also the economic implications of proceedings – for example, in cases of searches, asset forfeiture, or tax criminal investigations.

Our activities are not limited to Göttingen. We represent clients nationwide before local, regional, and higher regional courts.

At the same time, we advise and defend clients residing abroad or with cross-border economic connections. Especially in tax criminal law, international matters are not an exception. A structured defense therefore always considers foreign connections and economic contexts.

Criminal defense is a matter of trust. We value clear, understandable advice and a realistic assessment of the legal situation.

Our aspiration is precise, objective, and effective representation of interests – in Göttingen, in the region around Kassel, Hanover, Braunschweig, and Hildesheim, as well as nationwide.
