Lawyer Lars Kohnen, specialist lawyer for labor law in Hamburg , is exclusively active in labor law in addition to traffic law . Attorney Kohnen 's many years of specialization as a specialist lawyer for labor law offers you the guarantee of professional competence and practical knowledge, especially in difficult labor law issues.

specializes, but also advises you in all other areas of employment law , including a special area, church employment law .
Termination
- Is the termination effective?
- Am I entitled to a severance payment?
- Is the notice period correct?
- What happens in the event of termination without notice?
- What rights do I have?
- How can I best defend myself?
Lawyer Kohnen will be happy to answer these and other questions competently.
In the event of termination, you should have the termination reviewed by a lawyer immediately upon receipt. Although an action for protection against unfair dismissal is possible within 3 weeks of receipt , formal errors are often made when giving notice of termination, which must be reported within 5 - 7 days, and which may already lead to the ineffectiveness of the termination. Specialist lawyer Kohnen checks the effectiveness of the termination and the chances of success of an action for protection against unfair dismissal.
Regardless of whether it is a specialist lawyer for labor law or a normal lawyer: the action for protection against unfair dismissal is always aimed at determining the ineffectiveness of the notice of termination. As a rule, there is no entitlement to payment of a severance payment due to the termination. Nevertheless, most actions for protection against unfair dismissal end with the conclusion of a settlement and the payment of a severance payment by the employer.
This is due to the fact that in most cases an employer needs a so-called reason for termination and the protection of employees by the Dismissal Protection Act is very high. This distinguishes between operational, personal and conduct-related terminations. If the conditions for a termination are not met, this is ineffective and the employer must always pay the entire salary until the end of the process. The unwelcome employee is also back in the company, which means that the employer "loses face". For this reason, most lawsuits end with the payment of a “voluntary” severance payment by the employer.
Attorney Kohnen is not satisfied with the standard severance pay, but always looks at what is possible in your specific case. Under certain circumstances, this can be less, but also often a lot more than half a gross monthly salary per year of employment. In this respect, the chances of success of the respective action for protection against unfair dismissal always play a decisive factor.
The same applies in most cases in the event of an extraordinary termination. Here, too, the bar set by the legislature is very high as far as their effectiveness is concerned. Because the extraordinary/without notice terminates the - possibly long-term - employment relationship immediately, from one day to the next. In addition, the Federal Employment Agency will impose a blocking period on unemployment benefits. Termination without notice therefore has very drastic consequences, against which one should defend oneself in any case if the termination is on shaky ground.
Criminal Defense
criminal traffic law
- right to remain silent
- insight into files
- revocation of driving licence
What applies to
fine proceedings
applies all the more to traffic offenses: even in traffic offense matters, a proper defense without the help of a lawyer is hardly possible.
In traffic criminal law, we work for you in particular with the following offences:
- Unauthorized departure from the scene of the accident (§ 142)
- Drunk driving (§ 316)
- Road traffic hazard (§ 315c)
- Negligent bodily harm (§ 229)
- coercion (section 240)
- Dangerous intervention in road traffic (§ 315b)
- Driving without a license (Section 21)
right to remain silent
The same applies here: In order to assess and assess the best defense for you, the lawyer must first of all inspect the files . Until then, you should make use of your right to remain silent!
insight into files
Without inspecting the files, it cannot be determined whether the allegation made against you is justified and whether it can be proven. A statement should then only be made after the files have been viewed , so that we urgently advise you not to make any statements before hiring a lawyer for traffic law.
We examine the files for you, then discuss the defense approaches with you and clarify the defense strategy.
The example list above shows how quickly you, as a road user, can come into conflict with criminal law and need a lawyer. The problem is not only that you have to expect an entry in the federal central register, but that there is usually a risk of your driving license being revoked or at least a driving ban. The so-called MPU (medical-psychological examination) is often ordered.
In addition, in the case of a final conviction, you must reckon with an entry of at least 2 points in the driving aptitude register in Flensburg. Often there is also the possibility of your liability insurance to take recourse against you, so that in this case you also have to bear the civil law claims for damages - eg in the case of an accident driving - to a large extent privately.
Therefore, in the case of a criminal accusation in connection with a traffic accident, it is always important to keep an eye on the insurance law consequences and also to consider the administrative law aspects (MPU, etc.) in connection with the driver's license.
