Laura was fantastic helping me with the immigration authorities. I would highly recommend Schlun & Elseven

I retained Schlun & Elseven to handle an immigration matter for my son who is attending school in Germany. Specifically we worked with
Attorney Maximilian Amendy who was extremely proficient. He was able to obtain our desired result very quickly and an excellent communicator. I will not hesitate to retain him for any future legal services.

I had an initial consultation with Christos Sotiri regarding immigration law. He was extremely informative, precise and knowledgeable of all the possibilities in my situation and the best ways to proceed. Christos is clearly a very experienced attorney who shows care for the clients. Thank you!

Christos Sotiri did an excellent job guiding us through the process of immigrating to Germany. He was patient in explaining the various options and consistently responsive to our questions. From applying for the work visa and family reunification to the Blue Card interview, the entire process went extremely smoothly. His services were well worth the fees, and we would highly recommend Christos Sotiri.

Christos is super helpful, he knows the German law more than anyone else. I have been to local lawyers and they are just rip offs, they don’t know the exact law what is or what is not allowable per German immigration law. Christos was absolutely amazing, and and I totally recommend him any day and time

I used Schlun & Elseven to apply for a German work visa and subsequently family reunion visas for my family. Christos was very helpful, responsive and professional throughout the process. The clear communication reduced the stress and uncertainty in what typically can be a difficult application. I would highly recommend the firm and specifically Christos, the Attorney who handled my case.

Christos is a great immigration lawyer. He’s attentive, listens to our needs, and offers professional advice. His information is accurate and supported by law, which was very helpful. I’d recommend him to others looking for a reliable attorney.

I came here with a very specific and a bit complex Blue Card issue where I needed immediate help and advise, as I was confused by the process and how to proceed. Schlun & Elseven were very professional and helpful on this. My case was handled by Martin, which specializes in Blue Card and immigration topics - for everything related to that, definitely ask for him. They had direct communication with the LEA/Ausländerbehörde and luckily got me an appointment for a residence permit in around 3 weeks! It was 100% worth of the time and money.

Dr Bichat and the supporting staff were extremely professional, supportive, kind, and competent while they quickly and successfully helped me with an inheritance problem. I can highly recommend their services.

I spoke with Christos Sotiri, one of the Attorneys, I was highly impressed at the detailed information I received during our first meeting. As an expat from America looking to retire in Germany, I have full confidence in the law firm. Great choice for immigration-

We worked with Schlun & Elseven, specifically Julie Schäfer, on a §5 StAG German citizenship application, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This process isn’t just about paperwork - it’s also about discovering your family’s history and reconnecting with your roots. Julie and her team understood that and treated our case with both professionalism and genuine care.

At first, we thought my mother’s German records would be enough, but the BVA requested additional documentation on my grandparents, which threw us for a loop. Julie was on top of it immediately, guiding us through tracking down the records and ensuring everything was presented as strongly as possible.

Beyond their expertise, what really stood out was how adept they were at problem-solving and how consistently they overdelivered. Every challenge that came up was handled quickly, efficiently, and with a reassuring level of confidence. Julie and her team kept us informed, responded quickly, and made a stressful process much smoother.

If you’re applying under §5 StAG or any other German citizenship route, I highly recommend working with Schlun & Elseven and Julie Schäfer. They are not only experts but also truly understand the human side of this journey, making them the perfect team to have in your corner.

Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte and their Attorney Ms. Laura-Akofa Kalipé helped my wife and son to finally get their German family reunion visa.
They had been waiting for close to 6 months with no response from the German foreigners office.
Ms. Laura-Akofa Kalipé helped us getting things closed within a few weeks.
Ms. Laura guided us through the complete process and was always available for any queries that we had. All in all it was a great experience with team SE.

I want to from the bottom of my heart thank Madam Laura-Akofa Kalipé and Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte for helping me to get my Blue Card in Germany. I was waiting for 5 months with no response from the Immigration department to me or my employer. Me and my family are very grateful for the dedication and efforts she and her team put to ensure i got the work permit before the last day of my contract. Initially I was not sure if i would be able to get a work permit within 25 days of my Contract expiry when I contacted them and seemed to be an impossible task but Madam Laura and her team ensured that i got the work permit before the deadline. They are very professional and took time to verify all information , draft emails and provide appropriate answers to immigration team whenever needed with the right deadline. If you are stuck in a immigration process, you can go with them and as my experience you wont be disappointed but would always be grateful and thankful to them for their dedication and efforts.

English Review:
I highly recommend Daniel as an immigration attorney! After a long wait and navigating the complex bureaucracy, Daniel helped me successfully obtain my German citizenship. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and diligent throughout the entire process, always working effectively within the legal framework and communicating with the immigration authorities. I couldn’t be happier with his assistance and the outcome. Thank you, Daniel!

German Review:
Ich kann Daniel als Einwanderungsanwalt nur wärmstens empfehlen! Nach einer langen Wartezeit und dem Durchlaufen der komplexen Bürokratie hat Daniel mir geholfen, erfolgreich meine deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft zu erhalten. Er war äußerst zuverlässig, professionell und engagiert während des gesamten Prozesses und hat stets effektiv im rechtlichen Rahmen sowie mit den Einwanderungsbehörden gearbeitet. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit seiner Unterstützung und dem Ergebnis. Vielen Dank, Daniel!

I would like to express my gratitude with Julie for exceptional assistance in helping my family obtain German citizenship. Her guidance was invaluable throughout this process, and we are grateful for it. She always kept us informed, answered our questions with clarity, and provided reassurance at every step.

SE Legal was really great. They helped me gain citizenship for 5 family members. I don’t think that their fees are high given that it took almost a year to gather all of the documents. They also did great research in the German archives for documents we needed. Total success!

I had a great experience with Daniel Schewior, the lawyer who handled my citizenship application. The whole process was very smooth, and required very little work on my part. He acted on my behalf in all contact with the Citizenship Office, and I just supplied the necessary documents. He also kept me updated at every step, and made the whole process extremely smooth. Aside from the normal delays, given the backlog at my local office, the entire process went faster than I expected. I would 100% recommend Daniel to anyone requiring assistance with immigration matters.

I highly recommend Schlun & Eleven, and Daniel Schewior as an immigration lawyer, who has been very kind and punctual with his responses. My applications were processed very quickly with his assistance.

I had the pleasure of working with Dominik Müller to obtain residence permits for myself and my wife. He was very knowledgeable and handled the interactions with the local immigration authorities. Everything was always very professional and he always had alternate plans in case of difficulties. Responses to my concerns and questions were prompt and every aspect and detail was covered for our peace of mind. Our communications were in English, but perhaps next time I can do portions in German! I would definitely work with Dominik and Schlun & Elseven again!

I met for a consultation with Mr Florian Frick, attorney at S&E legal. Mr Frick was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. He explained my case to me in a way that made sense and gave me advice on how to proceed in the courts without an attorney. Based on this advice, I was able to file to paperwork at family courts and I have already received a positive outcome! And all this just from the initial consultation. I highly recommend S&E legal. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and HONEST.

I wrote to EIGHT immigration lawyers and got ONE reply. Plus, the lawyer, Roman Franke, was MOST helpful, polite and full of needed information. Dont waste your time with other lawyers; use the best, and forget the rest. Gerald Hagen., an Australian.
