Criminal Defence Lawyers in Germany

RATH HAGEN defends suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings throughout Germany. We act during investigations, after indictment and at trial, as well as in appeal proceedings.

A police summons is rarely a reason to make an immediate statement. We usually obtain the investigation file first and decide how to proceed once the evidence is known. If a search is under way or a client has been arrested, we can take over the defence at short notice. Where an arrest warrant exists, we examine its basis and the available means of avoiding or ending pre-trial detention.

Our work has a particular focus on drug, homicide and sexual-offence cases as well as criminal immigration law. Meetings are available in Berlin and Düsseldorf or by video conference.
