Jniedzella N.

I cannot recommend Daniel Schewior and his team highly enough. From the very first consultation, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout my entire case. I came to them expecting a long and complicated process — everything I had read suggested it could take anywhere from two to five years to regain my German citizenship.
To my absolute surprise, Mr. Schewior and his team managed to secure my Staatsangehörigkeitsausweis within a year. Their expertise, attention to detail, and clear communication made all the difference. They guided me through every step, answered all my questions, and handled the complexities of the case with confidence and precision.
What could have been a stressful, drawn‑out journey turned into a smooth and efficient experience thanks to their outstanding work. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer who truly knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about their clients, Daniel Schewior and his team are the ones to trust.

I worked with Martin Halfmann and others at Schlun & Elseven when I moved to Germany from the US. There were some issues with my travel and working start date. My representative did change many times during my case, but the firm was quick to communicate who was my new lawyer and picked things up thoroughly.

They took the time to understand my full situation, and helped me navigate precisely what was necessary to get all of my visas and permits in a timely manner. The responded to questions quickly and thoroughly, and gave explanations to help clarify issues. Timelines, responsiveness, and results were are all excellent.

If services are needed again, I will return to Schlun & Elseven.

Benji D.

Had a really great experience with Schlun & Elseven . Started by having their support for my visa related issues and later eventually helped in getting my PR here in Germany. In the entire process , they were very supportive and always were available whenever help was required. I would definitely recommend them. A special word of mention and thanks to my Lawyer Mr Samir Muratovic who was the one who handled my case and did it to perfection. Ensured that my visa issues were sorted out and even more i got my PR in a months time which other wise would have taken several months if i did it on my own.

Adrian S.

We had a positive experience with Attorney Dr. Sepehr Moshiri, who assisted us in resolving a dispute related to an online banking fraud. Thank you for your cooperation

Matthew L.

I had an excellent experience working with Julian during my Blue Card application process in Munich. From start to finish, he was highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate what was otherwise a very stressful immigration process.

Julian went above and beyond at every step. He carefully reviewed my case, explained all requirements clearly, and was always available to answer questions. What truly set him apart was his proactive approach, he personally followed up with my case worker and maintained direct communication to ensure my application continued moving forward. This made a significant difference and gave me great peace of mind.

Thanks to Julian’s dedication, attention to detail, and persistence, my immigration process was handled smoothly and efficiently, despite the slow munich office. I would highly recommend him to anyone applying for a Blue Card or dealing with immigration matters in Germany. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients’ success.

Ich hatte gestern mein Beratungsgespräch beim Herrn Frick in Sachen Familienrecht. Es war wirklich sehr aufschlussreich und hoffe, dass die ersten Ansätze härtere Maßnahmen verhindern können. Ansonsten weiß ich ja wo ich mich melden muss!

Vielen Dank !

Mick M.

Excellent dealings with Florian Frick. He dealt with my divorce in a very efficient and timely manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend him in any family legal matters.

Xin W.

Christos has been incredibly helpful with my application for a family reunification residence permit. He has extensive knowledge of the relevant regulations and a strong understanding of how the Ausländerbehörde operates in Munich. He is also very responsive and communicates clearly and professionally throughout the process.

Despite the lengthy procedure and a few bumps along the way, I received my residence permit in time to live and work in Germany. I would highly recommend Christos for legal support and immigration-related services.

Yuliya T.

Sehr freundliche und kompetente Beratung beim Herrn Sotiri.
Alles wurde ruhig, klar und verständlich erklärt.
Wir haben uns gut aufgehoben gefühlt und wissen jetzt genau, wie wir rechtssicher vorgehen müssen.
Vielen Dank für die hilfreiche Unterstützung, sehr zu empfehlen.

Scott L.

Outstanding initial consultation with Christos, regarding my application for Residence Permit…he informed me of SO many additional aspects to the process, far beyond my research or friends’ experiences!! It has been a Godsend that we have connected, applying on my own would have either been months of headaches & more sleepless nights, or worse probably a rejection…but I am now confident that with my case in his hands it will finally move through the bureaucracy & has a MUCH better chance at success! THANK YOU!!

Nicholas S.

I engaged Schlun & Elseven for German citizenship by descent after they confirmed I had a good case (they provided an objective appraisal before I engaged). They managed the process and application very efficiently, and the timeline matched what they advised. It was complicated and laborious but they made it efficient and compliant and eventually successful. I’ve now been approved and received my certificate.

Many thanks to Julie Schäfer and previously Nora Nolan. They are great to deal with. Professional, responsive, very pleasant and highly recommended. Everyone I dealt with at the firm (and there were many more) were great and at all times I felt in good hands. Highly recommended!

Jérôme S.

Very helpful in assisting foreign knowledge workers to go through the application for residence permit .

Mr Florian assisted me and he was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. I have every intention of referring back to him in situations that require knowledge of international family law.

Baisakhi M.

The one hour consultation with Christos helped us a lot to clearly understand our visa and work permit situations in Germany along with its tax implications. We had major queries in connection to cross border work possibilities which were nicely clairfied by Christos. I would surely consult him again in case we have any further queries i future and would also recommend him to my friends and acquaintances.

Mohammad A.

I had a great experience working with Mr. Christos. He helped me through my visa process from start to finish. Everything was clear and well explained. Thanks to his support, my visa was approved and I truly appreciate his help and would recommend him to anyone who needs legal support with visas. Bit expensive but worth it.

SAM B.

We had an amazing experience with Mr Christopher and his team. The staff is always approachable for our questions and the paperwork was done perfectly. After applying for a German long-stay visa for my son we heard back from the visa office in 4 days with an appointment date. Overall we had a wonderful experience and guidance.

Thank you do much for your expertise and all your help.

Mike B.

Daniel Schewior provided expert help and guidance for my application for German citizenship. He and his associates at Schlun & Elseven gathered all the necessary documentation from the municipal authorities in Germany, greatly facilitating my application. I highly recommend Mr. Schewior and his team.

Crystal W.

I had a wonderful experience working with Mr. Jens Schmidt and his team. He helped me with obtaining a blue card and guided me through each step of the way from the paperwork to securing appointments. He really took the guesswork out of the whole process and I was able to focus on the move and not stress over the application or the documents. I really appreciate Mr. Schmidt for his prompt communication, advice, and conscientious way of working. Thank you!

Sascha S.

Ich hatte ein Erstgespräch bei Rechtsanwalt Florian Frick zum Thema Umgangsrecht und bin absolut beeindruckt. Schon im ersten Termin wurde ich hervorragend beraten – klar, verständlich und mit einer Professionalität, die ich in den letzten Jahren bei keinem anderen Anwalt erlebt habe.

Besonders hilfreich waren die konkreten, praxisnahen Tipps, die mir Herr Frick an die Hand gegeben hat. Diese Art der Beratung hatte ich bisher von keinem Anwalt bekommen. Durch dieses Gespräch habe ich neue Perspektiven und Handlungsmöglichkeiten gewonnen, die ich nun genauso umzusetzen versuche, wie von Herrn Frick empfohlen. Sollte das nicht ausreichen, bin ich überzeugt davon, dass wir gemeinsam eine starke Lösung finden werden.

Fünf Sterne reichen für diesen Anwalt und seine Kanzlei eigentlich nicht aus.
Uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung – kompetent, engagiert und menschlich absolut top!

Response from the owner:Sehr geehrter Herr Schmitz,

herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und ausgesprochen positive Rückmeldung. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie bereits im Erstgespräch bei Herrn Florian Frick eine Beratung erfahren haben, die Ihnen Klarheit, neue Perspektiven und konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten eröffnet hat.

Ihre Worte über die Professionalität, Verständlichkeit und Praxistauglichkeit der Beratung bedeuten uns viel – gerade weil wir wissen, wie sensibel und herausfordernd das Thema Umgangsrecht sein kann. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass Sie sich bei Herrn Frick fachlich wie menschlich so gut aufgehoben fühlten.

Dass Sie seine Empfehlungen als hilfreich und direkt umsetzbar erleben, bestätigt genau den Ansatz, den wir verfolgen: klare Strategien, ehrliche Einschätzungen und Unterstützung auf Augenhöhe. Ihre uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung erfüllt uns mit großer Dankbarkeit.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen. Wir stehen Ihnen selbstverständlich jederzeit weiterhin zur Seite und begleiten Sie gerne auf dem weiteren Weg.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihr Team von Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte
