Capital punishment law

Murder and manslaughter

Defense in capital punishment law means defense in cases of intentional crimes against human life. These carry the highest and therefore most severe penalties. In no other area of criminal law can life imprisonment be imposed, as is the case with a murder conviction.  Therefore, murder and manslaughter proceedings are among the most devastating for those involved, their friends, and family members. No lawyer should take on such a case without extensive experience in capital offenses. Unfortunately, we see this happening all too often.

We have successfully defended clients in numerous jury trials as attorneys charged with murder or manslaughter. Such cases are sometimes particularly complex or characterized by unusual circumstances. We not only contribute experience and excellent legal expertise, but also master the areas necessary for assessing such cases, namely the Forensic medicine, statement psychology, criminology and specialist psychiatry.

Empathy is also important: We empathize with those facing these charges. Criminal proceedings for murder and manslaughter are typically particularly media-sensitive and often lead to a prejudgment. We do not judge and are usually the only person you or your loved ones can trust. We guarantee an experienced and confident defense.

We also take care of all the tasks associated with such procedures, such as Press work or controlto a Prejudgment or to prevent false media reporting.
