Criminal law & regulatory offences

Challenge a fine notice in time or, as a victim/witness, report a criminal offence — with automatic review of service, the appeal deadline (§ 67 OWiG) and any required criminal complaint.

Criminal law & regulatory offences covers 2 matters — each with the applicable response deadline, a fixed flow and, where it fits, a ready-made response letter.

The flow is always the same: you upload your document or describe the situation, receive a plain-language assessment with deadline and risks — and then decide yourself whether to reply or hand over to a law firm.

Matters in this legal area

The time given is the typical response deadline; it usually starts when the document reaches you.
