Criminal Defense Lawyers in Frankfurt

Whether you or someone close to you is held on remand in JVA Frankfurt am Main 1 or is serving a short sentence, alternative custodial sentence, civil detention, or a longer prison sentence in Darmstadt, Dieburg, or Weiterstadt, our criminal defense lawyers stand firmly at your side. Our team is familiar with the local prisons and is always available for personal and confidential counseling on-site. Our top priority is to secure your release as soon as possible and improve the detention conditions to the greatest extent feasible.

Our German criminal defense law team begins the legal and factual examination of the case as soon as the mandate is granted. To this end, evidence and witness statements are analyzed and collected for exoneration. Based on this, we examine whether a retrial is possible and determine a tailored defense strategy specifically for your individual case. Our services also include the precise analysis of the judgment or penalty order issued against you to prepare an appeal if necessary.

Our German criminal defense lawyers will manage all communication and correspondence with the authorities and court representatives involved and, if desired, will be available to communicate with your relatives.

If you are already in pre-trial detention, our German criminal defense lawyers will immediately request access to your official files to determine the prospects of success of a detention review (the “Haftprüfung”) in accordance with Section 117 of the German Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO). During such a detention review, an oral hearing will be held within two weeks, including all parties involved, and it will be examined whether, according to the current state of the investigation, there is actually a necessary urgent suspicion of an offense, a reason for detention, and whether detention can be spared. If this is not the case, the arrest warrant must be canceled in accordance with Section 120 of the StPO or its execution suspended in accordance with Section 116 of the StPO.

Alternatively, it is possible to lodge an appeal against arrest (“Haftbeschwerde”) in accordance with Section 304 et seq. StPO. In contrast to the detention review, an oral hearing does not necessarily take place during the detention appeal. The decisive difference between the two procedures is that with an appeal against arrest, the judge who issued the arrest warrant is not involved in the appeal of the arrest. The circumstances of the individual case are crucial in determining the appropriate legal remedy. Our criminal defense lawyers will advise you comprehensively on which legal remedy to choose in a personal consultation.

An arrest at a German airport is an enormously stressful situation in which immediate legal assistance is essential. Those affected must under no circumstances make any statements until they have spoken to a criminal defense lawyer. Our German criminal defense lawyers are aware of the urgency of such situations and are ready to handle your case efficiently and effectively.

Arrests at German airports or other border crossing points are often related to international criminal prosecution and are often based on an extradition request or an Interpol Red Notice. Such arrests occur regularly, especially at Frankfurt Airport, as an international hub. It is essential to work with a law firm that is familiar with cross-border legal issues and has extensive experience in extradition law, as well as in dealing with international law enforcement authorities.

Offenses against German and international customs regulations can also lead to arrest at Frankfurt Airport. In particular, carrying contraband and illegal items typically results in the immediate confiscation of the items and the arrest of the person involved. Those affected are also strongly advised to contact an experienced lawyer before making any statements to officials. Even statements that are supposedly helpful for your case can be interpreted as incriminating in retrospect. If you are arrested, please do not hesitate to contact us via our emergency hotline, which is available at all times: +49 211 1718280
