1 LIST OF ATTORNEYS PRACTICING CRIMINAL LAW IN THE MUNICH CONSULAR DISTRICT (Updated August 2010) American citizens traveling or residing in foreign countries are subject to the laws and regulations of that country. Please note that American Consular Officers abroad are prohibited from giving legal advice and from acting as agents, attorneys or in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of U.S. citizens. About this list The following is to assist you in selecting a private attorney, should you wish to retain one. The American Consulate General, Munich, Germany assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the following persons or firms. Inclusion on this list is in no way an endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Consulate. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. The information in the list on professional credentials, areas of expertise and language ability are provided directly by the lawyers. You may receive additional information about the individuals by contacting the local bar association Munich Bar Association Rechtsanwaltskammer Tal München Tel: (089) Fax: (089) info@rak-muenchen.de Some Things You Should Know About Retaining an Attorney German lawyers are not as active in court as American lawyers, due to the prominent role of the presiding judge. Your defense counsel will, however, argue your case for you and try to convince the court to interpret the facts and apply the law in a manner favorable to you. Your German attorney is your primary source of advice. Ask him/her any questions you have about the case and listen carefully to the advice you receive, for he/she is trained in German criminal law and has the duty to defend you to the best of his/her ability. 1

2 For incarcerated Americans: Some prisons have preprinted postcards with which you can contact your lawyer and ask him/her to visit. Please see the booklet entitled "Information for U.S. Citizens Imprisoned in Germany for more details. This Handbook contains further information about selecting legal counsel, private attorneys and court-appointed attorneys. Legal services are at your own expense. The Department of State cannot provide funds for employing a lawyer, but can help you to telephone your family and friends in the U.S. or anywhere else to request their financial assistance. Attorney s fees for most cases are regulated by a state-approved schedule. In more complex cases involving major offenses or crimes, an attorney will suggest an individual contract for cost of services. Normally, the attorney will request a down payment from his client at the beginning of the proceedings. Once you have signed a power of attorney, you are obligated to pay your lawyer s bill for services rendered up to the date you dismiss your attorney, regardless of whether you later hire another lawyer or not.
