Traffic Lawyer in Berlin and across Germany

After a road traffic accident, a traffic-related allegation, or a licensing measure, early legal guidance often matters.

I regularly assist with:

  • Traffic accident claims and pursuit of compensation
  • Defence in traffic-related criminal matters, including hit-and-run allegations
  • Action against driving bans and threatened licence revocation
  • Review of road-traffic fine, criminal, and administrative proceedings
  • Direct lawyer support instead of a standardized handling process

You receive a clear legal assessment of the situation and the next sensible steps.

Thank you so much for your prompt assistance in my rather complex case. I can highly recommend you – reliable, friendly, and straightforward!

Fast case processing, very friendly contact, would gladly use their services again (not the accident itself, but the handling of the case by Dr. Lerch...)

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal

Frequently asked questions

When should I speak to a traffic lawyer?

As early as possible. In criminal matters, driving bans, or unclear liability situations, early decisions often matter.

Do you also help where liability appears clear?

Yes. Even in apparently clear cases, claims are often reduced or handled incompletely in practice.

Do I need to come to the office?

No. The initial review and further coordination can be handled fully digitally or by phone.

Step 2

Review documents

I review notices, correspondence, accident records, or the existing communication.

You receive a legal assessment of the situation and the sensible next steps.

Step 4

Start representation

If you wish, I then take over the representation and the further communication.
