The legal spectrum of his assignments is broad: whether it’s a breach of maintenance obligations, fear of custody being taken away, fraud, theft, damage to property, bodily injury, sexual harassment, endangering the welfare of a child or incapacitation – Ingo Lenßen’s clients can always rely on his level-headed expertise. The TV lawyer does everything he can to put people’s everyday lives back on track. Ingo Lenßen is supported by his team, who are always on hand with help and advice.

From May 16 to 20, 2022, there was a special week with the title LENßEN ÜBERNIMMT SPEZIAL – SEINE HÄRTSTEN FÄLLE. The five cases were created in cooperation with the aid organization WEISSER RING and dealt with topics relevant to everyday life such as bullying, stalking, rape, domestic violence and discrimination. As always, Ingo Lenßen and his team offer advice and help.
Nadia Wölfel, producer of UFA Serial Drama: “Improving the situation of crime victims is a social duty for all of us and Ingo Lenßen and the entire LENßEN ÜBERNIMMT team are passionate about it. In cooperation with the wonderful team at WEISSER RING, Germany’s largest victim protection organization, we have succeeded in giving victims a voice. Of course, the broadcast of the special week is linked to the hope of providing preventative advice and encouraging viewers who have been victims themselves to seek help.”
