MIDDLE EAST

We believe that today’s ever growing international market calls for lawyers with broad legal knowledge to meet its everyday business needs. We also believe that it is important to be a leading specialist in the areas we practice. Therefore, we have created a strong team of individuals who possess both of these qualities.

U.S. PRIVATE LAW IN GERMANY
ADVICE AND REPRESENTATION IN/FROM GERMANY
Living in Germany as an American can be difficult when you are suddenly facing a legal problem either while abroad or back home; you will often require the assistance of an attorney who has full knowledge of both the US and German legal system and rules. We can provide this service as we have both US and German attorneys working collaboratively from our office in Nürnberg. Obtaining assistance in person while in Germany is crucial to addressing and understanding your problem quickly and effectively, and seeking assistance sooner rather than later is better to finding a solution without delay. Whether you are a business or individual and requiring assistance in US legal matters while living in Germany you can contact us to discuss your situation and potential solutions. We also provide legal advice to service members and families of the armed forces living in Europe with U.S. Military Law specific skills and experience.
In particular, we can assist with general and personal civil or criminal matters as well as U.S. Military issues.
General civil and criminal matters include:
• Tort and Personal Liability
• Commercial Law, Partnerships and Business Enterprise
• Contract (cellphone, sales, service and utility contracts)
• Divorce, Child Custody and Family law

We also provide representation in civil, political or human rights matters to include immigration, discrimination or basic freedoms.
Finding effective and personalized legal help as a United States servicemember, civilian, or other DoD employee is also difficult in Germany. American servicemembers are provided legal assistance services by the U.S. Government at no cost to them, however, there are limits to the extent they can assist, advocate or give advice. If you need aggressive and effective advocacy in military as well as civilian legal matters, and are not able to get what you need through the Government, we can help! Our attorneys have experience in assisting servicemembers/ soldiers and U.S. Government Employees and their families facing administrative procedures and adverse legal actions such as Article 15s, Summary Courts-Martial, separation boards, promotions, NCOER and OER appeals, Financial Liability Investigations (FLIPLS), Article 32 Hearings, as well as Personal law suits and contract disputes, private business matters, personal debt matters, letters of reprimand or GOMOR, financial disputes between individuals, family law, wills and trusts, and land-lord tenant disputes. If you are facing separation, we can fight to have you retained in the service, or if you have already been separated, we can also fight to have your unfavorable characterization of service changed. If you are accused of misconduct, or poor duty performance, your command may seek to involuntarily separate you or you may face other administrative punishments, but we can help you get justice and fair treatment.
We also help soldiers with Criminal Defense in Military Courts-Martial and German Courts. If you (or a family member) are stationed in Germany and are facing charges under the UCMJ, such as sexual assault, rape, theft, manslaughter, fraud or other criminal misconduct, and require a personal, aggressive and zealous advocacy right away in Germany or elsewhere in Europe, then we are ready to discuss your case face to face, and find your solution.
