Injured parties have their own rights to information and protection in criminal proceedings. Through a lawyer you obtain, in particular, access to the investigation file.
File access for victims (§ 406e StPO)
Through a lawyer you can inspect the files insofar as you can demonstrate a legitimate interest and no overriding interests stand in the way. File access is often the basis for quantifying claims and planning the next steps.
Further information and protection rights
In addition there are rights to be informed about the outcome of the proceedings as well as various protection options for witnesses and victims. We make sure you stay informed about the state of the proceedings.
Our support
We apply for file access, evaluate the file for you and derive the next steps from it.
