Nationwide & International Service: We operate throughout Germany from our offices in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and serve clients with international legal needs.
Fluent English-Language Advice: We eliminate language barriers by providing precise, fully fluent English-language legal counsel, a cornerstone of the positive feedback from our international clients.

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!

I have been working to gat my German citizenship documented for several years.
The consulate focused on one item and would not help after insisting that I was ineligible.
Schlun&Elseven approached the matter very easily telling me the point of German law that passed on German citizenship to the child of an unwed mother.
They encouraged me to make another attempt on my own and offer to assist me if my knowledgeable approach failed.

Vielen Dank

I am sparkling with the new hope

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.

This company is fantastic. I got numerous (but not overloading) messages reminding of the appointment. Clear instructions on how to attend the meeting. Mariam Sadik was super professional and told me the information I needed to hear. She was very friendly and her English was perfect. I would recommend using this lawyer group if you are looking into German citizenship.

I contacted them to answer some questions regarding German citizenship. The lawyer I spoke with was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I was able to get all my questions answered. While my case didn't require further legal assistance, I would be very comfortable working with them in the future.

As retirees seeking residency permits in Germany we were more than happy with the legal advice and service provided by Schlun & Elseven, and particularly Herr Julian Tillmann who guided us through the process of assembling documentation and submitting our application. Since there is no separate 'Retiree VISA' in Germany, and given the reputation of some Auslanderbehorden for long application timelines, we chose to invest in legal assistance rather than attempt the process on our own. All interaction with Herr Tillman was easily accomplished virtually (email or video chat), and in the end, from the time our application package was submitted, we received our permits in 3 months, which we consider a very good timeframe. We're sure it was in large part due to the comprehensiveness of the documentation provided and Herr Tillman's legal commentary.

Ich hatte ein Beratungsgespräch bei Herrn Frick und habe mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Er hat sich Zeit genommen, meinen Fall genau anzuhören, und mir die rechtliche Situation verständlich und klar erklärt. Besonders positiv fand ich, dass er ehrlich war und keine falschen Versprechungen gemacht hat, sondern realistisch eingeschätzt hat, wie man weiter vorgehen kann.
Insgesamt eine sehr kompetente und angenehme Beratung, die mir wirklich weitergeholfen hat. Vielen Dank dafür!

I had an excellent experience working with Florian Frick at Schlun & Elseven in a family law matter concerning paternity proceedings.

From the very beginning, Florian was highly professional, clear in his communication, and very supportive throughout what could have been a stressful process. He guided me step by step, explained each stage of the proceedings in a way that was easy to understand, and ensured everything was handled efficiently and correctly.

Thanks to his expertise and structured approach, the case progressed smoothly and resulted in a successful outcome. I especially appreciated his responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to keep the process moving forward without unnecessary delays.

I would highly recommend Florian Frick and Schlun & Elseven to anyone seeking legal assistance in family law matters. His support made a significant difference in achieving this important result for my family.

Ich habe von Herr Christopher Jonas bzgl. Familiennachzug Visum Unterstützung bekommen. Wenn man sich an einer Anwalt meldet, wünscht man natürlich Ergebnisse und daran wird die Qualität der Zusammenarbeit gemessen. Wir haben tatsächlich unser gewünschtes Ziel erreicht. Außerdem war die Kommunikation von Anfang an sehr klar, es wurde nichts unrealistisch versprochen. Ich kann Herr Jonas an jeden der Hilfe bzgl. Familiennachzug sucht, super gerne empfehlen.

Response from the owner:Sehr geehrter Herr Sridharan,

herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Rückmeldung und Ihr Vertrauen.

Es freut uns sehr, dass das gewünschte Ergebnis erreicht wurde. Ihre Empfehlung wissen wir besonders zu schätzen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihr Schlun & Elseven Team
