Medical criminal law encompasses all criminal issues related to the activities of physicians, alternative practitioners, and other healthcare professionals. Due to the sensitive interaction with patients and the special responsibility borne by medical professionals, even minor errors or carelessness can result in serious legal consequences.

As a specialist in criminal law with experience in medical criminal law, I represent physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical providers in all criminal matters. Whether in the context of an investigation, prosecution, or criminal defense – I am at your side with in-depth expertise and a strategic approach.

Key areas of medical criminal law:

• Incorrect treatment and bodily harm: Even seemingly harmless errors can be assessed as negligent bodily harm or even as an intentional act.

• Healthcare fraud: Billing fraud, manipulation of diagnoses or drug prescriptions – criminal investigations for false billing or deception are not uncommon.

• Pharmaceutical law violations: The illegal prescription of medication, drug abuse or violations of pharmaceutical law can have significant criminal consequences.

• Misappropriation of patient records: Improper handling of patient data can result in not only ethical but also criminal consequences.

• Violation of the Narcotics Act: Doctors who violate the Narcotics Act, for example by prescribing narcotics without medical necessity, risk criminal prosecution.
