Specialized in extradition proceedings

In the legal field of extradition proceedings in Germany we look forward to comparing our success rate with the best lawfirms in Europe.

In Germany, we have successfully defended an exceptionally large number of clients against judicial extradition proceedings and have also successfully challenged so many court decisions before the German Federal Constitutional Court.

For more than 20 years we have been defending our clients in Germany against unjustified extraditions to other states. Since more than 20 years, we have been dealing exclusively with extradition proceedings, international legal assistance in criminal matters and criminal defence.

Courts around the world show a tendency to comply with extradition requests from other states. Those who are affected by this as individuals must defend themselves. This is where we make our experience available.

Due to our specialization in extradition, international and European arrest warrants, we are always up to date with the case law of the German Higher Regional Courts, the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights and can pursue every promising aspect. Our successful defense against extradition requests is backed by our many years of experience and track record and our network of contacts with lawyers around the world.

International Arrest Warrant

Rule number 1: Ask the lawyer you want to hire to defend you against extradition in detail about his / her specific experience. Experience cannot be invented. 

Rule number 2: Regardless of where the extradition request comes from, the last word is not spoken before the courts have decided.

We fight for your rights as an individual. If necessary, we can go through all instances for you right up to the European Court of Human Rights.

Rule number 3: Your lawyer has to look for the earliest possible success and never give up.

We never give up and keep fighting until we get a result. That can mean working late into the night and not skipping any extra mile. 

Throughout Germany, we have handled extradition proceedings at the General Prosecutor's Offices and Higher Regional Courts in

Bremen, Hamm, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Munich, Bamberg, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Frankfurt am Main, Dresden, Celle, Berlin, Nürnberg, Koblenz, Brandenburg, Oldenburg, Naumburg, Jena, Hamburg, Rostock and Zweibrücken.

We have in many cases stopped extradition with decisions from the German Federal Constitutional Court.


 

 

European Arrest Warrant

Extradition on the basis of a European arrest warrant is not imperative. In many cases, it fails because of desolate detention conditions in other European states and other obstacles to extradition or because of formal requirements. Extradition of German nationals is only possible to a limited extent.

 

 

Act proactively ...

Foreign arrest warrant? - Anyone who suspects that an arrest warrant from abroad is being issued should not just wait and see but take precautions.

We have developed legal strategies that can effectively protect you from detention in Germany. Our concept has proven itself many times now. Proactive action is the best way to protect you. Let us provide you with advice.

 

 

 

Extradition proceedings, the long arm, even of the unjust

In extradition proceedings in Germany we are confronted with states whose human rights standards are actually low enough to disappear. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) therefore established in 1989 the special responsibility of European courts for persecuted persons in extradition proceedings.

 

 

 

Constitutional complaint in extradition proceedings

In Germany, the constitutional complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court in extradition proceedings is the last appeal. It is regularly lodged in a great hurry at a time when extradition is imminent and the constitutional complaint must therefore be accompanied by an application for a temporary injunction.

 

retrospection

We work hard to be successful on your behalf ...
