Our Approach

Every case starts with a confidential strategy session. We assess the evidence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and pursue dismissal, reduction, or acquittal.

Common Questions

+How does the initial consultation work?

The first call is free and confidential. We spend 20 to 30 minutes understanding your matter, outlining possible paths forward, and telling you honestly whether we are the right firm for the case. If we are, we send a written engagement letter before any billable work begins.

+How do you charge for your work?

We offer three fee structures depending on the matter: hourly billing for advisory and transactional work, fixed fees for well-defined projects such as an estate plan or entity formation, and contingency arrangements for qualifying personal injury cases. Every engagement letter sets fees out in writing before we begin.

+Is everything I share with you confidential?

Yes. Communications with our lawyers are protected by the German attorney-client privilege (Berufsgeheimnis) and equivalent professional secrecy rules. This applies from the initial consultation onward, whether or not you ultimately retain us.
