What you should know before submitting.

What happens to my data?

Your details are stored AES-256 encrypted and forwarded exclusively to a single lawyer assigned to you. We do not sell data and do not pass it on to authorities. You can withdraw your request at any time.

Is the service really free?

Yes. The referral is free of charge and non-binding for you. Lawyers pay us a fee for the referral. Fees only arise under the RVG or a separate fee agreement once you retain a law firm, as with any lawyer.

How quickly will a lawyer get in touch?

Usually within 48 hours, and considerably faster in urgent cases (e.g. risk of deportation, filing deadline). Mark your case as urgent in the form.

What does a residence-law lawyer cost?

It depends on your concern. An initial consultation typically costs between €100 and €250 (statutorily capped). Complex proceedings are usually billed at a flat fee. The lawyer will tell you the costs transparently before you retain them.

Can I withdraw my request?

At any time. The confirmation email contains a link that lets you immediately and completely delete your request and all stored data.
