We usually charge EUR 180 for a comprehensive initial consultation. Should you choose to engage us, we will offset the cost of this initial consultation against further fees. We are more than happy to offer advice over the phone or via video conference in German, English and French.
If you have legal expenses insurance, your insurer will often cover our costs. To be safe, you can always get a confirmation of your cover before coming for a consultation.
All further legal fees are generally in line with the German Act on the Remuneration of Lawyers (RVG) and depend on the value in dispute. You will be given detailed information and explanations of all fees before you hire us.
Unfortunately, however, the statutory fees according to the RVG are often so low that providing proper legal representation is not economically viable.
For that reason, in the areas of administrative and immigration law we work almost exclusively according to flat rates and hourly fees. Depending on the scope and complexity of a case, the hourly rate for a solicitor can vary from EUR 150 to EUR 250 per hour plus VAT.
For taking care of complaints proceedings in immigration law, for example, we charge a flat rate of between EUR 1,000 and EUR 2,000 plus VAT, depending on the scope and complexity of the case. We are also more than happy to agree a payment plan.
