Our Approach

Where we can, we resolve matters through mediated settlement to protect relationships and lower costs. Where we cannot, we litigate with precision and respect for the emotional stakes involved.

Common Questions

+How does the initial consultation work?

The first call is free and confidential. We spend 20 to 30 minutes understanding your matter, outlining possible paths forward, and telling you honestly whether we are the right firm for the case. If we are, we send a written engagement letter before any billable work begins.

+Is everything I share with you confidential?

Yes. Communications with our lawyers are protected by the German attorney-client privilege (Berufsgeheimnis) and equivalent professional secrecy rules. This applies from the initial consultation onward, whether or not you ultimately retain us.

+How long will my case take?

Timelines vary widely. A simple estate plan can be finalized within two to four weeks. A negotiated personal injury settlement typically resolves in six to eighteen months; contested litigation can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline in the engagement letter and update it as circumstances change.
