Matrimonial law

The conclusion or dissolution of a marriage can give rise to various legal problems.

When one spouse moves out at the latest, the circumstances of a separation must be rearranged. Who gets the apartment? How much maintenance / alimony must be paid? Who should be allowed to live with the children? In this emotionally charged situation, it is important to have a strong and empathetic contact person so that, if necessary, the unresolved issues of the separation can be settled in court(matrimonial protection proceedings).

A separation phase is usually followed by a final divorce. This may be jointly desired or must be unilaterally enforced. In addition to the matters to be settled during the separation, the division of marital property and pension provision must also be carried out.

Domestic violence

In the case of an existing or dissolved family or partnership relationship, persons may have their physical, sexual or psychological integrity violated or endangered. This can happen in particular through the exercise or threat of violence or through repeated harassment, ambushing or stalking of the person concerned(stalking).

Child and adult protection law

Child and adult protection law is intended to ensure the protection of persons who are unable to help themselves or obtain the necessary support. Such persons in need of assistance are, in particular, underage children or adults who suffer from mental or psychological impairments or addictions.

In principle, the Child and Adult Protection Authority (KESB) is responsible for ordering protective measures. Such protective measures can be, for example, the ordering of guardianship or placement of persons.

In connection with an employment relationship, many legal questions may arise for the employee and the employer, which require careful clarification.

In particular, the dissolution of an employment relationship can give rise to numerous difficulties and disputes. The employer must observe various legal provisions when terminating (without notice) or concluding a mutually agreed termination agreement in order not to risk its invalidity or claims for damages. The employee often does not know about his claims and misses important deadlines for their enforcement. Here, it is important to carefully clarify the legal issues on the part of the employer prior to termination and to react within a short period of time on the part of the employee after termination.

For example, legal services are provided in the following matters:

• Drafting of contracts around the employment relationship

As a victim or injured party of a crime, you have rights both inside and outside of criminal proceedings. Thus, as an injured person, you can participate in the criminal proceedings (as a civil and criminal plaintiff [Privatklägerschaft]) and, as a victim, you have various rights of protection. You can claim civil remedies such as damages and satisfaction in the criminal proceedings (adhesion proceedings).

If the perpetrator is indigent, you may be able to pursue your claims for damages or satisfaction against the state in victim assistance proceedings.

We take you seriously as a victim and are committed to fighting for your rights against the perpetrator and the state. In particular, we ensure that criminal proceedings are initiated and that they are handled in an expeditious manner.

For example, legal services are provided in the following matters:

• Representation of injured parties in criminal proceedings
