Criminal defence lawyers in Germany - appeals in German criminal defence

Rademacher & Horst - Criminal Defence Lawyers in Düsseldorf, Germany - have expertise and experience in appellate work over many years. We are particularly well known for successful defence, when it comes to cases in an international context (see our references).

Successful work against a conviction or sentence in the appeal proceedings requires special experience, because the function of the Court of Appeal is not to hold a retrial but to review the decision made by the trial court in the light of legal argument. In general, appeals do not involve evidence from witnesses, or consideration of all the documentation from the trial. Instead, the appeal principally (but not without exception) allows the appeal lawyer to use only the materials which were utilised at the trial.

Rademacher & Horst provide advice and representation in the following areas:

Appeals against judgments of the District Court to the Federal Supreme Court for criminal matters Appeals against judgments of the District Court to the District Court for Criminal Matters Appeals against judgments of the District Court to the Regional Court for Criminal Matters Defence against the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) and defence against an international arrest warrant Complaint against arrest warrant, requests for reinstatement and complaints against incriminating decisions Constitutional complaint
