Burmeister Law Firm LLC
Criminal defense and human rights advocacy in Frankfurt am Main
Two Areas, One Standard of Advocacy
Burmeister Law Firm LLC maintains an exclusive focus on criminal defense and human rights law. We do not practise outside these two domains — a deliberate constraint that allows us to bring singular expertise to every matter we accept.
Criminal Defense
We represent individuals accused of criminal offences, from initial investigation through trial and appeal. Our work centres on protecting rights under German criminal procedure, ensuring fair treatment before the courts, and mounting rigorous defences against state prosecution.
Human Rights Advocacy
We take on cases where fundamental rights have been violated — cases that require sustained commitment and a willingness to challenge systemic injustice. Our human rights practice extends to domestic litigation, federal courts, and proceedings before international bodies.
Why Clients Choose Burmeister Law Firm
Leadership & Experience
Dr. James Andrich Burmeister leads the firm with a record of advocacy before Frankfurt's courts and a commitment to the cases others decline.
Complete Discretion
Criminal matters demand confidentiality. Every consultation, every file, every communication is treated with the seriousness and privacy it requires.
Singular Focus
We do not divide our attention across practice areas. Criminal defence and human rights law are all we do — which is why clients trust our depth.
Serving Frankfurt and Beyond
Based in Frankfurt am Main, we represent clients before the Frankfurt Regional Court (Landgericht Frankfurt) and the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt (Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt). Our human rights advocacy extends to proceedings before German federal courts and international human rights bodies, wherever justice demands our presence.
