The Law Firm for Extradition Law
A criminal-defense firm specialized in international extradition and mutual legal assistance law, based in Kiel — active nationwide and across borders, fully digitalized, and reachable around the clock in an emergency.
A firm devoted solely to extradition law
This firm is not broadly positioned but concentrated on a single, demanding field: the defense against extradition and surrender. The European Arrest Warrant, the Interpol Red Notice, the SIS alert, the international arrest warrant, the enforcement of foreign judgments and other forms of international mutual legal assistance in criminal matters form the core of my work — before all German Higher Regional Courts and, where necessary, before the Federal Constitutional Court.
Extradition law is not a sideline of criminal defense but a discipline of its own. It demands a sure command of the IRG, the Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant, the ECHR and the case law of the ECJ, the ECtHR and the Federal Constitutional Court — and it tolerates no delay: the deadlines are short, extradition detention begins immediately, and the decisive course is set within the first few hours. That is exactly what this firm is built for.
Office in Kiel — nationwide & international
The firm is based in Kiel, Holstenbrücke 2, in the center of the capital of Schleswig-Holstein — in the immediate vicinity of the Regional Court and the public prosecutor's office. From here I represent affected persons before the Higher Regional Courts throughout Germany, as well as in constitutional complaints before the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.
Extradition proceedings do not stop at state or national borders. I work together with foreign defense lawyers, embassies and authorities, and handle cases connected to states across Europe and worldwide. Where the requested person is located — in extradition detention, abroad or in transit — makes no difference to whether I take on the case; the firm's digital infrastructure makes a location-independent, consistently meticulous defense possible.
Fully digitalized — paperless
I work entirely paperless. Files, written submissions and documents are processed digitally, stored in encrypted form and communicated through secure channels. This means shorter response times, access to the file at any time, and a defense that keeps pace with the speed of an extradition proceeding.
Paperless case management
All case files are captured digitally, structured and stored in a searchable form — instant access to every document and exhibit, even on the move and in court.
GDPR-compliant client cloud space
Clients receive password-protected access to a secure cloud space on servers in Germany — access to the file, written submissions, decisions and expert opinions available immediately on receipt.
Encrypted communication
Confidential content is never sent unencrypted. I use end-to-end encrypted services and secure file transfer — decisive precisely in cross-border proceedings.
Nationwide & international without restriction
The digital infrastructure allows cases throughout Germany and with an international dimension, regardless of the distance to the firm's office. Meetings in person, by video call or by phone — as the situation requires.
Reachable 24/7 — how to reach me
I can be reached through several channels. In urgent cases — arrest, search, extradition or arrest warrant — around the clock, including weekends and public holidays. If you are arrested on the basis of an Interpol notice or a European Arrest Warrant, every hour counts.
