A consultation with an immigration lawyer on Germany

Your case, gone through in detail: which status fits, what to do about a refusal, how the clock to settlement and citizenship is counted. Answered by a lawyer admitted to practise in Germany.

Price from
$95
Timeline
1–2 weeks
the timing is the booking: usually a day to two weeks, with online sessions scheduled after payment
Some questions in Germany are answered free of charge

State programmes advise at no cost: migration counselling for adults, the youth migration service for people aged 12 to 27. The office itself must explain which documents it needs. If the question is covered for free, it is fairer to say so before taking payment.

Not everyone may give paid advice on German law

The Legal Services Act reserves paid advice on an individual case largely to lawyers admitted in Germany. Working from another country does not lift that rule when the subject is German law.

  • 2The documents in question: passport, current permit or visa, correspondence and decisions from the office

Frequently asked questions

How long does the consultation last?
The market norm is 30 to 45 minutes for a first conversation. The exact format is agreed when booking.
Is there a cap on what a lawyer may charge for advice?
Yes, where no separate fee agreement exists. For consumers, the lawyers' remuneration act caps a first conversation at €190 and a consultation or written opinion at €250. With an agreement, the price is free.
Where can I get advice for free?
Adults go to migration counselling, people aged 12 to 27 to the youth migration service — both are state-funded. On a low income, the local court issues a voucher and the state pays for a lawyer's advice.
Will the conversation be recorded?
Only with everyone's consent — recording a private conversation without permission is a criminal offence in Germany. The market standard is a written summary, not a recording.
