His brother, attorney Bernard Thalmann, who deeply resented being shoved aside by father's testament in favor of the less competent firstborn, and widow Vera, whose priority seems covering for...

Borchert and the murderous greed.

Borchert and the sins fall.

At an arrest date, attorney Kuster falls into the hands of a dangerous hostage-taker. Borchert tries to find out who or what is behind the hostage-taking. Meanwhile, Furrer is negotiating with the hostage-taker.

Just now, 17-year-old Stefan Hunziker is happy about the mild judgment that Dominique Kuster brought him out for a fight and now his father has a fatal accident with the car. The police find out that there was only water in the insulin capsule of the diabetic Hunziker - so it is murder. The victim's wife quickly becomes the main suspect. Hunziker had a mistress who was expecting a child from him. A clear motive for murder for Martina Hunziker. However, Borchert does not believe in their guilt and begins to investigate.

Borchert's goddaughter is suspected of murder. Borchert tries to convict the real culprit.

"Franz Brosi is innocent ..." - this anonymous message arouses the curiosity of the "lawyer without a license" Thomas Borchert. His clerk, Dominique, immediately knows who it is about: the cabinet maker Brosi was her first client as a public defender and has been in prison for the murder of a young banker for eleven years. She can hardly believe that someone is now claiming his innocence - after all, Brosi had refused her help at the time and made an extensive confession. But Borchert wouldn't be Borchert if he didn't want to get something out of the silent model ...

Borchert and Dominique Kuster take over the defense of the taxi driver Jrg Zollinger. Captain Furrer suspects him of the murder of a passenger, the African investigative journalist Nuka Baluba. All the evidence incriminates the uncontrolled suspect, whose testimony initially seems unreliable. Borchert is suspicious of the fact that public prosecutor Dietrich is quick to commit to Zollinger. The "lawyer without a license" suspects that Baluba's research into child labor in cobalt mines in the Congo has something to do with the murder. During his research he came across...

Anna instructs Borchert and Dominique to challenge the inheritance. But shortly ...

Thomas Borchert gets the order from his old friend Antonius Bildermann to draw up a prenuptial agreement for his marriage to the much younger Mira.

Borchert's ability to convey is also in demand, because there are tensions not only with Antonius '" Ex "Stefanie. Son Julian rejects the stepmother as well as the power shifts in the biotech family company, which is about to set a risky course. Even before Borchert can draw up the ...

After an argument with her mother, the youth psychologist Julia Egger causes an accident, seriously injures a man and drives away, lost in thought. Her explanation that she was deliberately pushed aside by a dark SUV and did not see the man initially sounds unconvincing to her lawyers Borchert and Dominique - especially since Julia has a history of drinking and driving. While her younger half-sister Mavi sticks by Julia, her parents don't seem to be of any help. When Borchert felt the freezing cold of her ambitious mother and her career-focused husband, he felt ...
