Mpu Order Disputes - Traffic Lawyer
Authority order and licence consequences in Germany
If an MPU is ordered or threatened, the key issues are usually the authority's reasoning, the licence position, and how the next steps should sensibly be handled.
These issues usually matter most:
- ›Review of what the MPU order is based on
- ›Assessment of how it connects to earlier allegations or traffic matters
- ›Evaluation of the consequences for your licence and further authority proceedings
- ›Clear lawyer guidance on the most sensible next step
You receive a clear first assessment of how robust the MPU order appears and what response now makes sense.
Important to know: In MPU matters, the authority's starting position and the connection to earlier allegations often matter a great deal.

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
