About Michael

I am a partner in our private client team at Advodan Glostrup Copenhagen, with a particular specialisation in criminal law, inheritance law, and estate administration. My focus is always on the client and on finding effective, concrete solutions.

 

Committed Criminal Defense Lawyer

As a criminal defense lawyer, I have been involved in a wide range of major criminal cases, including those concerning economic crime, fraud, human trafficking, murder, narcotics, and more. My focus in criminal cases is exclusively on representing the client in the best possible way. It can be overwhelming for a client to be involved in a case with police, prosecution, and courts, where the language can be complicated, and one might feel alone against many. It is my duty as a defense lawyer to ensure each client receives the best possible defense and feels supported, never alone, but always with a committed and competent defense attorney by their side. Professional competence, trust, and commitment are the key principles in my work as a criminal defense lawyer.

 

Experienced and Skilled Specialist in Inheritance Law and Estate Administration

Appointed by the Court of Glostrup as an authorised estate administrator, I have over 20 years of experience and I have developed significant expertise in estate administration and inheritance law. I have written articles and given lectures on these subjects. My deep understanding of both the laws governing estate administration and the practical aspects of the field has made me highly sought after for handling estates and representing heirs. I have also conducted numerous legal cases concerning inheritance disputes, interpretation of wills, etc., and continuously address complex issues involving inheritance, debt, and the sale of estate properties. In advising on inheritance and generational succession cases, I always aim to provide competent advice at a high level, but in a language that is understandable. I also place great importance on showing respect for the difficult situation people find themselves in and the issues that arise from the death of a close relative. I handle both private probate and estate administrator cases and advise heirs, including representing minors.

 

Compensation Cases – Personal Injury

Additionally, I work with personal injury compensation, acting as a lawyer for the injured, typically in cases against insurance companies. Here, I advise on the possibility of obtaining compensation, the assessment of compensation claims, and provide guidance on options for appeal. I conduct legal cases in courts regarding personal injuries such as whiplash, back injuries, psychological trauma, and more.

 

Family Law – Custody – Visitation – Division of Property

For many years, I have also been involved in the field of family law, competently and qualifiedly assisting in cases involving custody, visitation, and the financial aspects such as property division.
