What Our Clients Value About Us

I consulted Schlun & Elseven Lawyers from the United States regarding a matter involving the German Foreign Office, and I had an excellent experience. Mr. Maximilian Amendy handled my case promptly, assessed everything thoroughly, and helped me achieve a successful outcome. Despite the international nature of my case, communication was smooth and efficient throughout. The entire team was professional, responsive, and very supportive.

I highly recommend their services.

Ginu G.

Overall, I only have good things to share about my experience with Schlun & Elseven. The secretary that reached out to me regarding my questions before and after my first consultation was very kind and quick to reply, for that I am thankful. Mr. Christopher Jonas was the lawyer who supported me regarding my specific case of the job searching visa and regarding my questions on permanent residency in Germany. He was very knowledgeable, fully proficient in English language, and very respectful. I would definitely reach out to them if I require further help and assistance.

Özgür G.

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.

Matthew L.

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.
