Criminal Defense in Capital Cases – Defense Against Charges of Murder, Manslaughter, and Other Homicide Offenses

An investigation or indictment for murder or manslaughter is not an ordinary legal matter – it is an existential crisis. For those affected, everything is at stake: freedom, reputation, and future – in some cases even life imprisonment. The demands on effective criminal defense in such proceedings are exceptionally high: legal precision, strategic thinking, and an uncompromising stance against premature judgment are essential.

As an experienced criminal defense law firm specializing in capital offenses, we stand firmly by your side – from the first police interrogation to the final, legally binding verdict.

Our Areas of Practice Include:

• Murder (§ 211 German Criminal Code)

• Manslaughter (§ 212 StGB)

• Bodily Harm Resulting in Death (§ 227 StGB)

• Negligent Homicide (§ 222 StGB) – e.g., in road traffic incidents or due to omission

• Attempted Homicide, Aiding and Abetting, and Co-Perpetration in Homicide Cases

• Appeals and Motions for Retrial

Defense Is Not Just Justification – It’s the Protection of Your Rights

Innocent individuals often come under investigation – due to circumstantial evidence, unclear witness statements, or an incomplete picture of the events. We conduct a thorough analysis of the case files, examine the legality of police procedures, uncover inconsistencies, and submit our own motions for evidence.

We work not only with legal precision but, when necessary, in close collaboration with experts in forensic science, psychiatry, and criminalistics.

Our aim is always to achieve the best possible outcome for you – whether through acquittal, dismissal of charges, or sentence reduction.
