Focus areas
Typical matters our clients bring to us
A selection of the matters clients bring to us.
Police summons
As a suspect you do not have to attend. Call us first.
Received a questionnaire
Only your personal details are compulsory, not a statement on the matter.
House search
Stay calm, ask to see the warrant, say nothing about the matter.
A relative was arrested
Call the emergency line. We find out where the person is and go there.
Penalty order in the post
An objection is only possible within two weeks of service.
Driving licence seized
Early defence can affect the length of the ban.
How we work
First the file, then any statement
Most mistakes happen in the first hours. Anyone who makes a statement without knowing the file often hands the investigators the missing pieces without meaning to.
Silence is your right
As a suspect you do not have to say anything about the allegations, and your silence must not be used against you. Personal details, however, are compulsory.
File inspection first
As a rule, only defence counsel gets full access to the investigation file. Only then do we decide together whether and how you comment.
In your language
I explain conversations, the file and the strategy in German, Turkish or English. For the trial we request an interpreter where needed.
Confidentiality
What you entrust to your defence is covered by legal professional privilege. On request we communicate using encryption.
How we work
How working with us works
First contact
By phone, email or, in an emergency, via the 24/7 number. We clarify what happened, which deadlines are running and what to avoid until we meet.
Mandate and file inspection
Once you have signed the power of attorney, I notify the police and prosecution that I am defending you and request access to the file. Until then you make no statement.
Strategy
We go through the file and the options: silence, a written statement, talks about dropping the case or preparation for trial.
Outcome
Proceedings end with the case being dropped, a penalty order or a judgment. Afterwards we review appeals and handle consequences such as the driving licence or record entries.
About us
Defence that starts with the file
I grew up in Berlin-Neukölln, studied at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and completed my legal traineeship at the Kammergericht. I have been a lawyer since 2014 and a Fachanwalt für Strafrecht since 2019, a title granted by the Rechtsanwaltskammer Berlin.
Criminal defence is a matter of trust. That is why I talk to you in the language you can express yourself in most confidently: German, Turkish or English. What you tell me stays between us.
I defend in investigations, at trial and on appeal. Many cases can be influenced early, for example with a written statement after inspecting the file. I tell you openly which options are realistic.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Your question is not listed? Feel free to give us a call.
Do I have to attend a police summons?
Not as a suspect. You can inform the police in writing that you will respond through your defence lawyer. It is different with a summons from the prosecution or the court: you must appear there, but you may still remain silent on the matter.
What should I do during a house search?
Stay calm, do not resist and ask to see the search warrant. Say nothing about the matter and call our emergency line. Object to the seizure and have that noted in the record.
I have received a penalty order. What now?
You can object to a penalty order within two weeks of service. After that it becomes final and has the effect of a judgment. We check against the file whether an objection makes sense.
Will I get a court-appointed lawyer, and can I choose one?
In cases of mandatory defence, for example pre-trial detention or the allegation of a serious crime, a defence lawyer is appointed (§ 140 StPO). You can name a lawyer you trust to the court.
How much does a criminal defence cost?
It depends on the stage of the case, the court and the workload. Statutory RVG fees are set within a range; in extensive cases we agree a fee in writing. You receive a cost estimate after the first meeting.
Do you also defend outside Berlin?
Yes, throughout Germany. We discuss travel costs and absence fees in advance. Many steps in an investigation can be handled in writing or by video anyway.
