win forensiq
Thanks to my lean, customer-oriented one-man structure, I'm flexible, and you can reach me directly on my phone number. «win(terthur)» is self-explaining. «forensiq» means concerning court cases, the suffix iq refers to intelligent solutions and the q refers to queer, deviating from usual standards, means to say surprising and unexpected solutions.
Creative solutions for an optimal coping of the situation are found with already initiated procedures. A holistic approach is necessary with extension of the optics also on unexpected and surprising solution approaches. For example, an initiated criminal proceeding can lead to a change in the entire way of life, e.g. if an addiction has triggered the criminal behaviour. The focus is not only on an optimal legal representation, but also on whether and how productive changes in the whole life situation can be initiated and strengthened. Different ideas, techniques and methods are combined in a new way. You will benefit from my experience as attorney, defence lawyer and prosecutor, judge, politician and author.
I consistently apply the principle of «as little as necessary» and thus conserve your personal, financial and ecological resources. In doing so, I work with a modular system in which you choose which services you provide yourself and which the law firm provides. I often agree a cost ceiling with you.
the three p
process prevention
Procedures can often be avoided by minimizing the risk for procedures and taking preventive measures. Of course, a procedure can never be completely ruled out, e. g. if a criminal investigation is initiated or you apply for a permit.
interdisciplinary process management
I offer an innovative concept of litigation in criminal and administrative proceedings and legal support for individuals and SMEs. Where further concerns are added (PR, crisis management), legal support is supplemented in an interdisciplinary manner. The burden of a procedure should not be underestimated, which is why the emphasis is placed on conserving resources. The necessary technical support is coordinated by me. Everything is in one hand.
personality development
A changed way of looking at things is not only beneficial, but also sets forces in motion for (non juridicial) processes that change your whole life in a positive way.
At the same time as a district attorney, he founded the contact point of the judicial and police authorities for homophobic victims of violence in Zurich, Zug and Winterthur. Criminal proceedings against him for sexual acts with children, conducted without sufficient suspicion, were discontinued and he was fully rehabilitated by the High Court of the Canton of Zurich. However, the contact point that had been set up was not continued, which today is avenged by the fact that this form of violence is not statistically recorded and has not been sufficiently scientifically investigated.
In addition to book and magazine articles, legal and political writings, satires and cabaret programmes, he publishes books on railway history.

Bio, on german Wikipedia, too
Adrian Ramsauer, born 1959, originally from the canton of Appenzell, grew up in Thurgau and the Winterthur region, studied law and economics in St. Gallen and Zurich. He worked at the District Court of Pfäffikon as an auditor and court clerk and as an assistant in public law at the ETH and the University of Zurich. He is a lawyer, member and 2nd Vice-Chairman of the District Council of Winterthur (appeal instance and supervision of city and municipalities, first appeal instance in child and adult protection matters). Mandates in the district of Winterthur that have a connection to the city or municipalities or in child and adult protection are therefore not accepted.
In 1995, he was one of the first outed members of parliament in Switzerland as member of the City Council of Winterthur. He chaired the extremely colourful parliamentary group with members of the Greens, the Alternative List, the Democratic Party/The Other Party and the National Ring of Independents and held two committee presidencies (election of ombudsman; civil engineering, environment, transport and energy).
In 1996 he promoted the legal equality of same-sex relationships throughout Switzerland on a poster campaign for the advertising agency Schmid & Hostettler & Fabrikant on behalf of the mineral water brand Passugger with the slogan «Ich will meinen Freund heiraten dürfen / Je veux pouvoir épouser mon ami / Chiedo il diritto di poter sposare mio campagno». He drafted a proposal for the introduction of same-sex marriage into the Swiss Civil Code. Today, more than two decades later, the proposal is being discussed as marriage for all.
Shortly before the end of the last millennium, at his suggestion, the first anti-discrimination provision was enacted in Swiss law. The pioneering work was carried out by the City of Winterthur in its personal statute. At the time, the Landbote entitled «Winterthur on its way to a gay model city». The issue is also being discussed at national level today.
