For me, Maximilian Hänle, any lawyer client relationship is first and foremost a relationship of trust. Entrust me with your concerns and your case.

You must keep your mind on the objective, not on the obstacle.

Areas of expertise
Over the years, I have been able to demonstrate my effectiveness in criminal proceedings, especially those involving significant economic risk.
My law firm acts for private individuals, banks, institutions and companies in the areas of commercial criminal law and criminal tax law. At the same time, I take on cases in the area of general criminal law. Each case is unique. All clients deserve a reliable and competent defense.
Throughout the years I have written and published many articles in professional journals and held many lectures for expert audiences as well as teaching assignments regarding the criminal lay. This enables me to keep a close eye on recent legislation, case law and jurisprudence.
