Traffic law encompasses all legal regulations relating to road traffic. It is divided into various areas, including traffic regulation law, criminal traffic law and traffic administration law. Among other things, it regulates the behaviour of road users, the registration of vehicles, driving licences and penalties for offences. The aim of traffic law is to ensure safety and order in road traffic. Offences can be punished with fines, points in Flensburg or even criminal penalties. Civil law issues, for example in the event of road accidents, also play an important role.
We represent you in all areas of traffic law - committed, solution-orientated and with a clear goal: to protect your rights.
Our main areas of practice in traffic law include in particular
Accident settlement - Compensation for damages, compensation for pain and suffering, disputes with insurance companies
Fine proceedings - Speeding, red light violations, distance violations and other offences
Motor vehicle sales contract law - Warranty for defects, cancellation, rectification and compensation when buying a car
Vehicle leasing contract law - Rights and obligations arising from leasing contracts, premature termination of contracts, billing disputes
Traffic offence law - Hit-and-run accidents, drink driving, negligent bodily harm and other offences
A road traffic accident often brings with it not only trouble and expense, but also financial risks. We take care of the entire process for you - in a committed, structured manner and with the aim of fully enforcing your claims. You benefit from our experience in dealing with insurance companies and opposing parties.
Our services in the area of motor vehicle accident settlement:

Compensation for pain and suffering for injuries
Household management damage and loss of earnings
Costs for experts, hire cars or towing services
Enforcement of your claims against insurance companies and other parties involved in the accident
We clarify the question of liability, secure evidence, set deadlines and take care of all the correspondence with insurance companies and parties involved in the accident - so that you can concentrate on your recovery or your everyday life.

In addition, we represent you if the other party has unjustified Claims for damages against you - whether after an accident caused by your own fault or in the event of a dispute.
After an accident, you should seek legal advice at an early stage. This is the only way to ensure that your claims are fully safeguarded - and that you do not miss out on justified benefits.
Wir vertreten Sie bei Verkehrsunfällen in ganz Deutschland (z.B. Sulingen, Achim, Bassum, Syke, Delmenhorst, Bremen, Bruchhausen-Vilsen, Osnabrück, uvm.) und auch im Ausland.
Whether it's speeding, a red light violation or using a mobile phone at the wheel - fines are issued quickly, often automatically, and often lead to severe sanctions such as driving bans or points on the driving licence register. But not every accusation is justified. Errors in the measurement, unclear evidence or formal deficiencies in the proceedings offer numerous starting points for an effective defence.
We carefully examine fine notices and defend you vigorously, especially in the case of
A driving ban can have serious consequences for professional drivers or commuters. We fight to ensure that your driving licence stays with you - if necessary, by converting it into a fine or through timely procedural strategies.
We will advise you right from the hearing procedure on how to behave correctly and how early intervention increases the chances of success. We represent you nationwide - committed, experienced and with an eye for the essentials.
Whether it's a new or used car, from a dealer or privately - buying a car is an everyday but legally complex business. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the vehicle to have defects or not fulfil the contractually guaranteed characteristics after purchase. Tampered speedometers, concealed accident damage or technical defects are just some of the typical points of contention.
We provide you with comprehensive advice and represent your rights both as a buyer and as a seller - competently, assertively and with the necessary tact and sensitivity.
Our services in motor vehicle sales contract law:
Enforcement of warranty claims for material defects (rectification, cancellation, reduction)
Enforcement of rights in the event of fraudulent misrepresentation (e.g. concealed previous damage or mileage manipulation)
Rescission of the purchase contract in the event of significant defects or deception
Claims for damages in the event of financial disadvantages due to defective vehicles
Defence against unjustified claims from warranty or cancellation
Particularly in the used car trade - whether via online portals or at dealerships - there are often disputes about wording in sales contracts or so-called „bought as seen“ clauses. We check whether such clauses are effective and enforce your claims against private sellers as well as commercial dealers.
Buying a car should not be a legal burden. We make sure that you get what you are entitled to - or that you can walk away from a bad deal with legal certainty.
For many people, leasing is an attractive alternative to buying a vehicle - whether privately or for business. However, the legal environment surrounding leasing contracts is complex, often lacking in transparency and difficult for laypeople to understand. Disputes with leasing companies or car dealerships therefore regularly arise when returning, invoicing or prematurely terminating a contract.
As an experienced law firm, we are at your side in motor vehicle leasing contract law - from reviewing the contract to enforcing your rights in court.
We specialise in leasing law:
Examination and legal assessment of leasing contracts (in particular residual value, mileage or full amortisation contracts)
Advice on premature contract termination - e.g. in the event of a total loss, financial bottlenecks or vehicle defects
Defence against unjustified additional claims after return of the vehicle (e.g. alleged damage, compensation for use, reduction in value)
Dispute over handover conditions and evidence in the event of return or defects
Assistance with problems with leased vehicles (e.g. material defects, downtimes, faulty maintenance)
Many clients are faced with the question of whether leasing really offers the promised flexibility - especially if the return suddenly becomes expensive. We create legal clarity, enforce your claims and protect you from unjustified claims.
Leasing must remain calculable. With our legal support, you retain control over your contractual rights and obligations.
Criminal traffic law not only concerns classic offences such as hit-and-run accidents or drink driving - even seemingly minor incidents in road traffic can quickly become relevant under criminal law. Anyone caught by the investigating authorities is often confronted with serious consequences: Driving licence disqualification, points in Flensburg, a fine or prison sentence and a permanent entry in the Federal Central Register.
In this stressful situation, we are at your side with professional and committed criminal defence - discreetly, decisively and with a clear strategy.
We defend you in the entire spectrum of traffic offence law, including
Unauthorised removal from the scene of an accident („hit and run“)
Drunk driving (alcohol or drugs in road traffic)
Endangering road traffic (§ Section 315c StGB)
Negligent bodily injury or homicide in traffic accidents
Driving without a licence
Coercion in road traffic (e.g. by tailgating, tailgating, braking)
Prohibited motor vehicle racing (§ Section 315d StGB)
Licence plate misuse or compulsory insurance violation
Criminal proceedings for traffic offences are not trivial. In addition to the actual penalty, there is also a regular threat of massive secondary consequences: loss of driving licence, MPU requirements, problems in professional life or disadvantages under insurance law.
We examine the evidence, protect your rights vis-à-vis the police and the public prosecutor's office and develop an individually tailored defence strategy. Depending on the circumstances, we pursue the goal of a acquittal, one Discontinuation of proceedings or at least one Mitigation of sentence, e.g. through co-operation, compensation or voluntary measures (traffic therapy, retraining).
Also in the event of house searches, confiscations or driving licence revocations in preliminary proceedings we are immediately at your side and take over the necessary communication with the authorities.
