Schlun & Elseven have been great. I used them for my German citizenship and they were fantastic. Safa Al Hayek and Dania Höltershinken were both amazing. They are helpful, polite and always answer your questions quickly. I don’t think I would have been able to get my documents or citizenship without their help. I also got them to do an application for a family member, as I was pleased with their professionalism. They were able to get documents for me and made the process efficient and easy. I also had peace of mind that everything in my application was correct. The support staff are lovely and very helpful too. I am very pleased that I used Schlun & Elseven and would highly recommend them.

An absolutely outstanding immigration firm! Schlun and Elseven Rechtsanwaite, and especially my lawyer Julie Schaefer, successfully handled the German naturalization process, for my entire family, from start to finish. They made our citizenship journey super smooth and stress-free. Their team was professional, patient, always just a phone call or email away, and highly knowledgeable. What could have been a daunting experience was handled with the utmost professionalism. I would not hesitate to use this firm for any future immigration needs. Five stars all the way—I couldn't have done this without them!

Met with Dominik Müller regarding tax and citizenship questions. Very knowledgeable, professional, and respectful - I highly recommend him. Will certainly be returning to the firm in the future

Julie Schaefer was absolutely wonderful to work with! She and her team were so patient with me and walked me through everything I’d need for the application, and they put up with all my check ins and were so reassuring! Working with Schlun & Elseven was the right choice, and their guidance was invaluable. I owe my citizenship to them, and I recommend anyone getting their German citizenship to work with them.

Helped clarify eligibility for German citizenship. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Thanks for the info and advice!

We were helped at every step of the process of getting citizenship via German decent. Although the legal process took some time we were kept informed and reassured that everything was going according to the expected timescales. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would use their services again.

We are so very grateful to Schlun & Elseven for the incredible service they've provided - navigated the arduous process of acquiring German citizenship as South Africans. Professional, attentive and very patient with us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I was keen to explore German Citizenship following Brexit. I’d seen many ads on Facebook from UK companies offering services to assist with the application process. The services were inexpensive - but I was not tempted as I reasoned it would make more sense to use a German Law Firm with experience of dealing with German Authorities. So I finally settled on Schlun & Elseven and expanded the brief by including my twin brother. S&E guided us through the application process (we were based in UK) which while time consuming was fairly straight forward. Once S&E had submitted our application they warned it would take 2 years before our application would be considered. During this time S&E chased and prodded the Authorities to keep pressure on our application. Late in the day we were asked for additional information most of which was easy to provide with on big exception - the Authorities wanted Police Certificates of Good Conduct for all the countries I had lived in for the last 20 years! My job had taken me around some of the least developed countries in the world (Libya Cambodia Indonesia included) which made this task nigh on impossible. I even believed that the application may fail because of this. However S&E reasoned with the Authorities that because of the difficulties in dealing with these countries an affidavit declaring no criminal records would suffice which the Authorities accepted. Within one month of clearing this hurdle my brother and I received our Certificates of German Citizenship. Danke Schön S&E.

I just finished a delightful Zoom meeting with one of the attorneys (Dominik). He was highly informative, very straightforward with his assessment of my application inquiry (spoiler alert : it's looking very promising). Dominik took the time to point out the strengths of my documentation, stressing the importance of some key pieces of evidence I was able to provide. He took the opportunity to explain the procedure and anticipated timeline I could expect, as well as providing a brief history of the evolution of German citizenship law - all easily understood by a non legal minded individual. Dominik answered all of the few questions I had and patiently listened to the few digressions into personal history. I would say professional and personable. 😁 All in all I would highly recommend the law firm on my experience with it to date, and I hope to be in touch with them in the near future.

This legal group helped us obtain German citizenship for our children (we live in the USA). They were prompt, straightforward, and professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.
