Mr. Grueneberg is a great lawyer with an immense amount of knowledge. He has a magic. I had an excellent experience with him.
My visa had been refused 3-4 times, and I had been struggling since January 2024 to get approval. Unfortunately, they kept denying my visa and repeatedly asked for additional documents. My previous lawyer wasted 3.5 months and caused me a lot of stress.
Then, I met Mr. Grueneberg. After just a 10-minute conversation, he provided me with a solution and renewed my hope. I went to him on October 21st, and I received my visa approval on November 26th just one month later. I was really unbelievable. I’m extremely happy with the result. Everything was so transparent.
Again a big thank you to Mr. Grueneberg. You saved my life.
I highly recommend Kanzlei Grueneberg.
Harmeet Kaur

Mr Gruneberg helped me get the German nationality! The process was super smooth and quick, I am recommending him to my personal circle of friends and family as well. 10/10 would work with him again.
PS: I also added my photo showing the day I became a German citizen.
Malik Junaid

Mr. Grueneberg is knowledgeable, interested, supportive of your situation, and if he thinks there is a better way, he explains it to you clearly and enlightens you. We had a huge problem at immigration office but he made a great effort and solved our problem in the first meeting.
Refik Aday

Excellent understanding and knowledge of the German immigration law. Well respected within the community and went out of the way to help me with my immigration status.
He took care of the complete process and guided me through all the steps.
Highly recommended and guaranteed results in a short period of time.

Mr. Jüdemann is a real expert on the Copyright law as he helped me to get through a tough copyright case dilligently and solved it without any issues.
I was also amazed by his English level since this is not usual for most German lawyers.
If you want an experienced lawyer in the Copyright law that gets you sorted out things quickly and with proper due dilligence, then I can recommend Mr. Jüdemann!
Jaroslav Jakl

I have spoken with Mr. Jüdemann on the phone, to discuss which steps I could follow in a matter of photo copyright infringement. Mr. Jüdamann has been so kind to explain with enough detail the implications in my case. He also offered an unselfish advice on how to proceed further. Based on this experience of mine, the fact that he speaks fluently German and English (not to be underestimated in a city such as Berlin) and his knowledge, I can can say that he has been tremendously helpful!
fabio trovato

Herr Jüdemann was most informative and helpful. I emailed him with a query and he got back to me that afternoon with clear and detailed advice.
With Thanks

Being accused even after complying still resulted in receiving a legal letter of further compliance and possible indictment of an even serious violation.
Consulting Mr. Khazaeli was the best decision! He listened attentively and immediately advised to stay calm while he accepted and retrieved the case log. He speaks English fluently and was always available, returning calls and emails.
It was a very stressful and difficult time, and his presence, including the fact that his fees, very fair and reasonable, accepted in payment instalment brought relief in all aspects.
He is a very capable and accomplished lawyer as his confidence assured that the case would be dismissed within a few weeks.
With his competence, the case was dismissed!
He deserves more than 5 stars for his professionalism and compassionate personality!
Aisyah Tan

I want to thank Hr Khazaeli, for his really prompt assistance in our case! He was ready to help and jumped in the case immediately. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your professional advice!
Keep in touch!
Andrey Linda

I couldn’t be happier with the support I received from Mr Khazaeli!
First of all, despite what other lawyers do, Mr. Khazaeli provides an high-level overview of the case before any payment is done, which I believe is incredibly fair towards his potential clients. Second, he’s incredibly responsive to any questions, any time. Third, his rates are very reasonable.
Additionally, he speaks English very well and has no problem with handling the whole communication in English.
Absolutely recommended!
Lorenzo De Nobili

I called Mr Khazaeli to ask about a minor criminal case and to see if it’s even worth taking the case. First off to mention, Mr Khazaeli knew that I’m probably not making him money but he was yet fully present on the phone, knowing that he’s not personally benefiting from the phone call.
He took his time listening to the situation,he asked the right questions which would change the situation, and he even gave extra information, while I was hesitantly summarizing and trying to let him go to not take his time.. nowadays if you even pay someone and be there in person, you don’t get real care or even an eye contact but all this was on the phone around 5pm while an average lawyer/doctor would keep checking the time to go home
Not to mention concentration and care is the most valuable currency of our age, the way he was thinking along with me, a person he wouldn’t financially be benefiting from, I can imagine he takes care of his cases like a loving naturopath.
Thanks for being true Mr Khazaeli.
Altar Silvara

Mr. Khazaeli called me back immediately, and answer my questions quickly, and even though it was not his field, he tried to help as much as possible, and recommended me to find the right lawyer for the topic (and this shows also the integrity as a professional).
Thank you very much!

A waste of time. On the phone suggested to write an email describing the case — no-one replied to that email — on the phone again after several attempts due to technical failures on their side I was advised that I won’t get a response.[Update, 18.02.2020] As a response to above, this law firm has suggested to remove my feedback claiming it “fake”. I would also suggest something in return: it feels like a horrible business practice to ignore potential clients first only to take time to try intimidate them later.

I am super grateful to him and his team. all questions were always clearly answered, Vadim always answered me on whatsapp, even when he was on vacation (trust me, it is very rare thing). it was also always possible to come to the office, where there was always time for me to ask or clarify any questions. i recommend his contact to all friends who need help in migration and criminal matters!

I highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert legal assistance for visa issues. Vadim is truly a top-notch professional in his field!
Jonah Feldman

I would not recommend this lawyer as I did not have a good experience.
Note: this was not my original review. My original review went into why I wouldn’t recommend them. I had to edit my review for it to be posted as the company seems to report negative reviews to Google for review. Hence, the high rating. Three months later, this was again reported to Google as defamation. However, as you can see above I have reduced my original post to simply not recommending the law firm so that it can be posted.
Danielle Luffman

The whole thing was quite unprofessional not sure how he got such great ratings. We made an appointment for a first consultation – cost 100€ – where he was supposed to call us. He didn’t call. When we told him our problem he sounded very surprised about our problems and stumbled out some paragraphs which we now hope are correct. Took all in all 5 minutes.
Now we spend 100€ for something we are not sure is even correct because of the appearance of the whole set up.
After a few weeks a lawyer complained to google that I have never been a costumer. No wonder why the rating of the law firm is that great.
Lasse Weidemann

I completed my nationalization process with Mr. Rubinstein and it was the best decision ever. Very competent, great team, very fast in doing all procedures. I recommend him for every process related to Einbürgerung, he is really the best.
Thank you Mr. Rubinstein !!!

Many thanks to the professional Dr. Burmeister for offering me guidance on my situation with immigration law. He came to help pretty fast and concisely, showing me all the available options for my permit application. Highly recommended for anyone who needs legal expertise on immigration law.
Debora Skendo

Contacted this guy in emergency with my fiancée facing potentially severe and unjust treatment at the Munich airport, textbook, this dude messages me at 4 am(German time) after I message him at 20:00, telling me he’s on holiday, btw waking us up while we were held against our will at the airport in blatant violation of eu refugee rights….to tell us he’s on holiday! Can’t make that up.
I politely ask him one simple question and pulls this holier than now like now I’m this person bothering him on vacation, , he shouldn’t have said anything back at all! I was clearly in an emergency. It seems completely unprofessional and bizarre for a lawyer to message someone at 4am to tell them essentially get lost I’m on vacation when that person messaged them at a reasonable time of 20:00.
I can’t imagine someone who treats a potential client like this in an emergency is any good or cares, my question was basic.
By the way this was his “emergency after hours” to be told he’s on holiday at 4am and get scolded for asking a simple question. Honestly disgraceful for a lawyer claiming half the nonsense he has on his website
Response: I think he’s on full display. I am able to write a review because the behavior is completely unprofessional. It warns others who might be in an emergency involving the things he promotes on his website.
Michael Sierra

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Burmeister on a weekend after all other lawyers failed to answer my phone calls. Dr. Burmeister promptly answered my questions and informed me on how to proceed next on a legal case. He is a brilliant professional and very kind. I highly recommend his services.

Worse service ever, the guy on the phone didn’t even tried to understand what i called for, he speaks with super British English accent when he is not English. Unbelievable how this office can lose so many cases just because of the wrong people answer their phones.
Regarding their reply:
Any legal office, before you pay the consulting fee ( that i am totally fine with) you need to try to understand if this something relevant. Unfortunately they even didn’t try to hear what the case about and only asked for fee before knowing anything. In my opinion super not Professional besides the bad service explaining. U need to listen before asking for consultation payment.

What types of cases do civil lawyers in Berlin handle?
Civil lawyers in Berlin typically handle a wide variety of cases including contract disputes, property disputes, family law issues, employment law matters, and tort claims. These lawyers focus on cases where legal rights are at stake, and they provide representation in civil court. Understanding their specific area of expertise can help you find the right lawyer for your needs.
How do I choose the right civil lawyer in Berlin?
Choosing the right civil lawyer involves assessing their experience in the specific area of your case, their reputation in the community, and their communication style. It's important to conduct interviews with potential lawyers and ask for references from previous clients. Additionally, checking their professional background and any relevant specializations can help ensure you are getting the best legal representation.
What is the typical cost of hiring a civil lawyer?
The cost of hiring a civil lawyer in Berlin can vary widely based on several factors such as the lawyer’s experience, the complexity of the case, and the billing structure used. Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, while others may offer a flat fee for specific services. It is essential to discuss fees during the initial consultation and understand whether the lawyer requires a retainer and what expenses might be covered.
What should I bring to my initial consultation with a civil lawyer?
For your initial consultation with a civil lawyer, it’s important to bring all relevant documents pertaining to your case. This may include contracts, emails, court documents, and any other evidence that supports your claim. Additionally, preparing a list of questions and a brief overview of your situation will help the lawyer understand the context and provide valuable feedback.
What are the benefits of hiring a civil lawyer?
Hiring a civil lawyer offers numerous benefits, including expert legal advice, advocacy, and representation in court. Civil lawyers are trained to navigate the complex legal system and understand the applicable laws related to your case. They can also help in negotiating settlements and can provide vital support throughout the entire legal process.
How long does a civil case typically take in Berlin?
The duration of a civil case can vary greatly depending on factors like the complexity of the issues involved, the willingness of both parties to negotiate, and the court's schedule. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of months, while more complicated disputes may take year to reach a resolution. It’s advisable to discuss timelines with your lawyer to set realistic expectations.
What happens if I cannot afford a civil lawyer?
If you cannot afford a civil lawyer, there may be options available to you. Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Additionally, there are legal aid organizations that provide free or low-cost legal services to qualifying individuals. It’s important to research and reach out to available resources in Berlin.
Can I represent myself in a civil case?
Yes, you can represent yourself in a civil case, an option known as pro se representation. However, this approach can be challenging due to the complexities of the legal system. Without legal training, the likelihood of negatively impacting your case increases. If you choose to proceed without a lawyer, thorough preparation and research on relevant laws and best practices are crucial.
What should I do if I have a complaint against my civil lawyer?
If you have a complaint against your civil lawyer, the first step is to discuss your concerns directly with them. Open communication can often resolve misunderstandings. If the issue remains unresolved, you can file a complaint with the Bar Association in your region. They provide a formal process to handle grievances against attorneys and can offer mediation services if necessary.
How can a civil lawyer assist with dispute resolution?
A civil lawyer can assist with dispute resolution through methods such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration.

A skilled civil lawyer can advise on the best approach based on the specifics of your case and facilitate communication between the parties involved.
