I had the please of using Julie Schafer at Schlun & Elseven Düsseldorf as my German solicitor to guide me in the UK to obtain my German citizenship and passport. Julie’s knowledge, guidance and expertise was just amazing, preparing me at the UK German Embassy with all the documents and organising the appointments was money well spent, which took a year to complete. I would highly recommend Julie who steps you through each stage professionally. Thank you!

Feeling totally overwhelmed and frustrated after struggling with the immigration process for several months and not properly meeting deadlines and requirements in accordance (IAW) with German law, we finally were fortunate and blessed enough to learn about our Attorney (Esq.) Samir Muratovic at Schlun & Elseven Lawyers. Attorney Muratovic and his immediate interaction in our immigration process with his clear-cut guidance and direction sped up the process by "Light Years." We were able to get an appointment with the Kreisverwaltung (District Administration) in record time which would have normally taken months or possibly more than a year or so. Attorney Muratovic handled the entire process in an absolutely outstanding manner and with extreme professionalism. We proudly salute Attorney SAMIR MURATOVIC and wish him great success in the firm of SCHLUN & ELSEVEN Rechtsanwälte. Thank you!

I faced a severe immigration crisis: my Blue Card was revoked, leaving my stay in Germany illegal, and two immigration offices were completely unresponsive for months, jeopardizing an urgent family reunification deadline. Desperate, I turned to Schlun & Elseven, and Mr. Julian Tillman handled my case.

In a matter of days, Mr. Tillman completely turned the situation around. He identified and fixed all the issues in my immigration file. I was swiftly provided with documents securing my legal stay and a valid work permit, with my new Blue Card promised within a month. The process was professional, incredibly fast, and efficient. I am profoundly grateful to Mr. Tillman and Schlun & Elseven for their mastery in solving this complex case.

Maximilian has absolutely went above and beyond in his duties to help me! I feel like I connected well with him, which is important when you are going through the immigration process, as you want your lawyer to understand your motives and goals. Since I am a job-seeker, I did things a bit backwards as I needed to be here in Germany first for job-fairs and interviews and then apply for my Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) while I'm here, and this was no problem for S&E. The language barrier was no issue and I even got recommendations on actions and things that extended beyond what I initially expected.

I will absolutely use S&E services again for when the time comes to convert my Visa, or for any other services I might need.

I had an excellent experience with SE-Legal and my lawyer Mr. Samir Muratovic. I first applied for my Germany Job Seeker visa in October 2022, but it was rejected in September 2024. After this, I researched and found SE-Legal, and Samir was allocated to handle my visa remonstration. Even after filing the remonstration, I faced another rejection in May 2025. Throughout this difficult journey, Samir never gave up—he motivated me, guided me step by step, and assured me he would do his best. Finally, in July 2025 I received my embassy new appointment, and in September 2025 I was granted the Germany Opportunity Card visa. The respect, guidance, and continuous support I received from my lawyer were truly impressive, and I also deeply appreciate the SE-Legal support team who always replied to my queries on time. This was my first experience with such a case, and I can confidently say that Samir’s dedication, professionalism, and persistence played a key role in achieving this success. I highly recommend SE-Legal to anyone dealing with immigration or visa challenges.

Highly professional, dedicated, and truly supportive. We wholeheartedly recommend Schlun & Elseven, and especially Dr. Arne Bethlehem and Jens Schmidt.

They guided us with patience, clarity, and precision through every step of the process, from establishing a GmbH, applying for the Blue Card EU, to family reunification. What stood out most was their deep legal expertise, proactive approach, and genuine care for our situation.

Even though we handled everything fully online, we never felt alone or uncertain. They responded quickly, anticipated issues before they became problems, and helped us navigate complex situations with German authorities, including clarifying legal misunderstandings and protecting us from potential scams.

In several moments where things seemed hopeless, they found solutions. Thanks to their dedication, we were able to start a new chapter of our lives in Germany with confidence and peace of mind.

We are deeply grateful and recommend them without hesitation to anyone starting their journey in Germany, whether for business, immigration, or family matters.

Highly recommend Jens Schmidt and his team at Schlun & Elseven for highly professional, prompt and solutions-oriented immigration legal services in Germany
