Expertise

As a specialist lawyer for criminal law, attorney Dr. Prinz has special certified knowledge and experience in the field of criminal law.

As part of the successful completion of the Master’s degree programme in Police Science and Criminology, Attorney Dr. Prinz has studied the work and attitude of the ‘other side’ over a long period of time as part of a course of study that usually serves as a qualification for particularly qualified police officers and investigators.

This knowledge enables Dr. Prinz to understand the way of thinking, the goals and the next investigative steps of the prosecuting authorities. He has studied the actions of the criminal prosecution authorities, especially with regard to investigative tactics and possibilities, and successfully demonstrated his knowledge of this in the context of his Master’s examination.
