I had a consultation with this immigration lawyer today, and I was very impressed. He was clearly very knowledgeable, but explained everything in a way that was easy to understand without being condescending or using unnecessarily complex legal language. He was kind, attentive, and took the time to really listen to my questions and concerns. I never felt rushed, and every question I asked was answered thoroughly and thoughtfully. The advice was clear, practical, and gave me confidence in my next steps. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're pleased to hear that the consultation was clear and helpful, and that you left feeling confident about your next steps.

We had a very positive experience with Mr. Christos Sotiri. He carefully reviewed our immigration situation, explained our legal options in a clear and understandable way, and answered all of our questions with patience and professionalism. The consultation was very helpful and gave us a much better understanding of our next steps. We would highly recommend him to anyone seeking immigration law advice in Germany.

A big thanks to Schlun & Elseven Lawyers, I worked with Mr. Tillmann on a business immigration matter — a self-employment residence permit under §21 — and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. My case wasn’t straightforward; an earlier business-plan assessment had gone against me, so a positive result was far from guaranteed. Mr. Tillmann found the right legal route, and got my application accepted, securing a three-year permit. What stood out just as much as the result was how he worked: clear communication at every step, genuine efficiency, and complete transparency on fees. He kept everything within the hours we’d agreed, with no surprise costs. He turned a stressful, uncertain situation into a smooth process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing a business or immigration law matter, and he’ll be my first call for anything similar in the future. Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review, Raja. We are delighted to hear that Julian Tillmann was able to support you successfully in obtaining your self-employment residence permit. Cases involving business immigration can often be complex, particularly when previous assessments have presented challenges, so it is especially rewarding to know that Julian’s strategic approach and legal expertise helped achieve a positive outcome. We are also pleased that you appreciated the clear communication, efficiency, and transparency throughout the process. Providing practical guidance and ensuring that clients remain informed and confident at every stage of their case is a core part of our commitment. We will be sure to share your kind feedback with Julian. Thank you for your trust, your recommendation, and for taking the time to share your experience. We wish you every success with your business and future plans in Germany. Kind regards, SE Legal Team

On two separate occasions Schlun & Elseven supported me, specifically Christos Sotiri, helped me navigate the visa process. Christos provided a reassuring presence, he answered every question promptly, helped me navigate difficult situations, and gave me a peace of mind that I will be eternally grateful for. I will certainly be recommending their services to anyone in a similar situation, and whether you contract their direct support or not, they are an invaluable resource to anyone navigating immigration in Germany. And if you have the opportunity to work with them directly, I say take it. I know it can be daunting when you first set out to look online for resources and support you can trust, but I can give them my full-fledged endorsement.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, Ben. We are truly grateful for your kind words and are delighted to hear that Christos Sotiri was able to support you successfully throughout your visa matters.

Thank you again for your confidence in our firm, and we wish you every success in the future. Kind regards, SE Legal Team

They were really helpful in my initial conversation. While my German is fairly fluent, I had issues previously where I worked with another law firm who could not properly explain to me how the German family law system works in English. I found myself not understanding a lot of the legal/technical vocabulary and it was to my detriment. Florian Frick took the time to clearly explain to me in English what I previously did not understand or misunderstood in German. Thank you!

Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are pleased that the consultation helped clarify the legal aspects for you and that the explanation in English made things easier to understand. We would be happy to assist you again whenever needed. Kind regards, Your Schlun & Elseven Team

My family hired Schlun & Eleseven Rechtsanwälte to help us obtain German citizenship. Our case was initially assigned to Attorney Charlotte Waning, who was thorough and knowledgable. She provided us with an evaluation of our case, so that we knew our chances of gaining citizenship through the German Nationality Act. She advised us that the process would take 2 - 2.5 years. Attorney Safa Al Hayek took over our case, and she provided us updates and answered any questions we had along the way. With the law firm's support and expertise, we have now been granted German citizenship (within the time frame they expected). We are so thankful for their help, and we highly recommend their services.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your kind and detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your trust throughout the process. and we wish you and your family all the best for the future. Kind regards, Your Schlun & Elseven Team

Christos Sotiri was very professional and thorough in his explanation of the German immigration process with clearly defined paths to citizenship. It really put my mind at ease, knowing what to do and what to expect. There is a lot you need to know, and at the end of the consultation, a summary of what we discussed was provided, making it easy to return and review, if needed.

I enthusiastically endorse and recommend Julie Schafer and Schlun & Elseven for your immigration needs. Julie helped my husband reinstate his German citizenship that he had as a child. She was thorough, knowledgeable, detail oriented and nuanced. I am a lawyer so I am not the best kind of client--impatient and demanding, both--but Julie answered all my questions and helped us stay the course until we received the Certificate of Citizenship from Germany at last. I highly recommend Julie and Schlun & Elseven for all your business and personal needs. You will be singing their praises just like we are!

Response from the owner:Dear Ms Schumann, thank you very much for your kind words. We are delighted that our team could support you and your husband successfully and provide guidance throughout the process. We would be happy to help again whenever needed. Kind regards, Your Schlun & Elseven Team
