Werner Leitner has been a criminal defense lawyer since 1989 and a specialist in criminal law (Fachanwalt für Strafrecht) since 1997. Upon completing his legal studies in Munich, he first worked as an attaché at the German Federal Foreign Office. He ended his career as a diplomat in 1989, joining the law firm of the star defense attorney Rolf Bossi as a young lawyer. In 1993, he and fellow colleagues formed their own law firm, which quickly made a name for itself in the field of criminal law. To this day he is the name partner of that law firm, which has operated since September 1, 2018 under the name LEITNER & KOLLEGEN.
Werner Leitner acts primarily as a defense counsel for his clients, but in many cases he also brings his experience to bear as a strategic advisor behind the scenes. This includes the art of making a convincing case in court and leveraging a broad professional network to solve problems as needed with as little fanfare as possible.
