Your Trusted English-Speaking Lawyer & Legal Partner in Regensburg

Legal proceedings in Germany can be overwhelming due to strict bureaucracy and highly complex legal language. My philosophy as your attorney: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all templates. I develop custom-tailored legal strategies focused entirely on your individual and financial goals.

I understand the intricacies of the German legal system and the unique challenges you face as an international professional or business owner. My ultimate goal is to make complex German legal documents fully transparent for you and to vigorously defend your rights before courts and official authorities (such as the tax office / Finanzamt).

Comprehensive Legal Expertise: We stand by your side for the most common legal issues faced by expats and international businesses in Germany. In addition to our core specialties in Tax Law, Criminal Tax Law, and Employment Law (e.g., wrongful termination / Kündigung), we offer extensive representation and consulting in the following critical areas:

Inheritance Law (Erbrecht): Cross-border inheritance disputes, drafting of wills, and resolving conflicts over inheritance shares.
Real Estate Law (Immobilienrecht): Legal guidance for buying and selling property in Germany, land registry procedures (Grundbuch), and reviewing commercial lease agreements.
Contract Law (Vertragsrecht): Drafting and reviewing complex German contracts, and enforcing your rights in the event of a breach of contract.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are the costs for an initial legal consultation (Erstberatung) and how are attorney fees determined?

Financial transparency is a fundamental principle of our attorney-client relationship. For private consumers, the fee for an initial legal consultation is legally capped at a maximum of €190 (plus VAT) in accordance with the German Lawyers‘ Compensation Act (RVG). For more comprehensive commercial and tax disputes, a clear, written fee agreement is established in advance.

If you have German legal protection insurance (Rechtsschutzversicherung), we will meticulously handle the entire process of obtaining the confirmation of coverage (Deckungszusage) on your behalf.

2. I have been dismissed (Kündigung) or received a formal warning (Abmahnung). How much time do I have to act?

Time is the most critical factor in German Employment Law (Arbeitsrecht). Once you receive your written notice of dismissal, you have a strict legal deadline of **only 3 weeks** to file an unfair dismissal claim with the German Labor Court (Arbeitsgericht).

If you miss this 3-week deadline, the termination automatically becomes legally binding, and you will lose any right to negotiate potential severance pay (Abfindung). To protect your rights and your financial future, it is crucial that you contact our law firm immediately after receiving the notice.

3. I am facing a dispute with the tax office (Finanzamt) or tax investigators (Steuerfahndung) have shown up unannounced. What should I do?

Tax investigations in Germany are highly critical proceedings that can directly threaten your business existence and personal future. If authorities show up at your door or initiate a criminal tax proceeding against you, follow these crucial rules: **Do not make any statements, do not sign any documents**, and immediately exercise your right to remain silent (Schweigerecht).

In such a crisis, contact our law firm without losing a single second. We intervene immediately to secure your rights, shield you from the authorities, and professionally take over the entire defense and communication process on your behalf.

4. I do not live in Regensburg. Can you still represent me, and do I need to visit your office in person?

Yes, absolutely. You are not required to visit our office in person. While our law firm is based in Regensburg, we represent expats, international professionals, and businesses across Bavaria and throughout Germany.

The German legal system is notoriously complex and highly bureaucratic. To ensure you understand every aspect of your case without any language barriers, we offer fully digital legal representation. We handle all correspondence with courts, opposing parties, and authorities on your behalf, providing clear, strategic advice entirely in English—conveniently via video consultation (Zoom/Teams), phone, or secure email.

5. German legal jargon and bureaucracy are overwhelming. Will I fully understand my case and be able to communicate freely?

Absolutely. German law (Deutsches Recht) is notorious for its rigid rules and heavy terminology. Even a minor linguistic misunderstanding can lead to a severe loss of your legal rights. As your English-speaking lawyer in Regensburg, my top priority is that you feel completely secure, understood, and in control throughout the entire process.

We conduct all legal consultations (Rechtsberatung) and strategic planning entirely in English, decoding complex legal texts so they are 100% transparent to you. While you remain fully informed of every detail in English, we take charge of the legal battle on your behalf—representing you fiercely and in flawless legal German before all official authorities and courts.
