The seven attorneys, born between 1940 and 1973, constitute a unified legal team. Each attorney that has been practicing for several years is qualified as a “Fachanwalt für Strafrecht” (Specialist for Criminal Law).
Werner Sarstedt died in 1985; the firm inherited his legal
library, which is admired - and sometimes consulted - by colleagues and
friends who
are working and teaching in the field of penal law. Although we have
broadened our basis of legal resources and information media by incorporating
electronic publications in our library and gaining access to online data
bases, we are still enlarging our body of printed books and keeping them
up-to-date.
In November 1998 the office moved to the "Gründerzeit" building
in the Frankfurt West End shown on our index page. This move was imperative
as our former office at Hammanstr. 10 had become too cramped due to the
increase in personnel and also due to the fact that neither the space for
our library nor for case files was sufficient any more.
As there are no restrictions to practising as defense counsels with
regard to regions or courts, we can act on behalf of our clients anywhere
in Germany and in all criminal courts. We therefore do not intend to
open up offices in other cities. The size of our firm and its age structure
enables us to offer highly specialized and individualized services for
our clients, both individuals and minor as well as major companies. For
this reason we intend to grow naturally as before without following the
present trend of mergers.
