A Clear and Trustworthy Approach to Your Case
When you choose my services, you’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re gaining a trusted partner dedicated to helping you navigate your legal matters with clarity and peace of mind. Below is an overview of how we’ll work together and what costs you can anticipate.
Step 1: Initial Consultation – Your First Step Toward Clarity
Why this Consultation Matters
Before I can offer you meaningful advice, I need to fully understand your case. In preparation for our consultation—whether online or in my office—I’ll review the relevant documents and information you provide. Then, we’ll talk in depth (usually about 60 minutes) to explore every detail of your case. It’s not just “a quick chat.” Careful preparation and a thorough conversation allow me to give you reliable and personalized recommendations.
What’s Included:
- Detailed case review and analysis: I’ll spend time reviewing the information and documents you provide, so I fully understand your unique case.
- An In-Depth Conversation (Approx. 60 Minutes): I’ll address your concerns, answer your questions, and explain suitable approaches in person, via phone or video call.
- Cost Estimate: You’ll receive a clear, straightforward cost estimate for further legal representation.
- Written Summary & Next Steps (Optional): If you’d like a written summary of our discussion and my recommendations, I can provide one at an additional fee.
How Much Does It Cost?
For private individuals, the fee for the initial consultation is based on the German Lawyers’ Fees Act (RVG) and amounts to 226.10€ (incl. VAT). A higher fee applies for companies. To find out more, please contact me without obligation with your request.
Investing in this initial consultation saves you time, money and stress later. You’ll walk away with clarity about your legal situation and a realistic action plan.
Step 2: Mandate & Case Representation – Working Hand in Hand
After our consultation, if I believe legal representation will genuinely benefit you, I’ll recommend moving on to the second phase. However, this step is entirely up to you. You’re free to decide whether you want to continue working together based on the insights and information you receive during our initial consultation.
Should you choose to proceed, here’s what you can expect:
- Tailored Approach: Every situation is unique. I’ll adapt my strategy to align with your specific needs and goals.
- Guide You Step-by-Step: I handle the legal complexities so you can focus on what matters most in your life.
- Commitment to your case: I will only take it on if I truly believe I can help you and have capacity for it.
One thing I can promise: this will be a valuable investment on your part, saving you time, reducing stress and significantly increasing your chances of a positive result.
Costs – Transparent and Fair Pricing
Trust and transparency are the foundation of my work. That’s why I will provide a clear breakdown of costs before we begin working together.
In most cases, an individual fee agreement is made, with the fees set by the German Lawyers’ Compensation Act (RVG) serving as the minimum threshold for the fee arrangement. There are two available models:
- Fixed price
- Hourly rate
Once I understand the full scope of your matter, I’ll advise on which billing model is best
