Speeding Ticket – Lawyer in Berlin and across Germany
Reviewing the notice, the speed measurement, and the best next step
If you received a speeding ticket in Germany, timing matters. Deadlines, the speed measurement, and the risk of points or a driving ban should be assessed before you respond.
Typical situations include:
- ›A speeding ticket or hearing notice after an alleged speed violation
- ›Risk of penalty points, a driving ban, or licence-related consequences
- ›Uncertainty whether the speed camera evidence, driver identification, or procedure can be challenged
- ›Tickets involving rental cars, company cars, or foreign drivers in Germany
- ›Clear legal guidance on whether it makes sense to challenge the notice
I review the notice, the measurement setup, and the procedural issues so you know early whether contesting the ticket is sensible.
Important to know: Especially where points or a driving ban are at stake, it makes sense to review the file and the realistic defence options before reacting too quickly.

How I help with speeding ticket cases
Assess the measurement and evidence
Depending on the case, the key issues are the speed measurement method, the records, driver identification, and whether the allegation is well supported.
Evaluate points and driving-ban risk
I assess the likely consequences and whether there is a realistic basis to defend the case or reduce the impact.
Plan the next procedural step
You receive clear guidance on whether to object, request file review, or take another step in your specific situation.
A speeding allegation consists of measurement, driver, and consequence
The figure in the penalty notice is only the result. Its reliability depends on the measurement process, attribution to the driver, and the correct legal classification of the excess speed.
Reading and tolerance
The measurement image, available case data, device operation, and tolerance deduction must support the alleged figure. Potential issues can usually be assessed only from the file.
Driver identification
Registered ownership does not automatically prove who drove. Image quality, camera angle, and any further investigation determine whether identification is reliable.
Points and driving ban
The scale and location of the excess speed, previous entries, and possible special circumstances affect the consequences. The reading must therefore be considered alongside the driver's record and professional situation.
A useful objection therefore targets a specific weakness in the evidence or legal consequence, rather than merely disputing the speed stated in the notice.
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth speaking to a lawyer about a speeding ticket?
That depends mainly on what is at stake. Legal review is often especially useful where points, a driving ban, a substantial fine, or professional dependence on your licence are involved.
Can every speed camera measurement be challenged?
No. But not every measurement is beyond review either. The records, the measurement method, and the facts of the individual case matter.
What if I may lose my licence for a period?
Then the case should be reviewed as early as possible. Where a driving ban is on the table, deadlines, file contents, and strategy become especially important.
Do I need to come to Berlin for the review?
No. The initial review and further coordination can be handled by phone or digitally from anywhere in Germany.

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
