Highly competent, effective and dedicated!

I highly recommend Annabelle Fisher! She guided me and my husband through a very complex citizenship process to confirm my husband's German citizenship. It was an emotional rollercoaster for us and Annabelle handled it with grace, expertise, professionalism. Despite complications in our citizenship c...ase, Annabelle was undeterred -- she handled every challenge with confidence and precision, ultimately securing his citizenship status. Annabelle is responsive, clear in her communication, and very knowledgeable about German immigration law. She treated our case with genuine care and determination and I felt reassured through the entire process which took many at least 3 years or more. Annabelle is highly competent and has in-depth knowledge of German immigration law. She is deeply dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her!!

Naturalization (Dual Citizenship German/US)

For years, I considered the process of becoming a US citizen but the administrative and political aspect of it seemed to be too difficult and time-consuming to handle alone. Last year, I contacted the German consulate to ask for advice in choosing the right lawyer and was prompted to review their lis...t on their website. That's how I came across Annabelle Fischer and from the first phone call, which she returned promptly, I knew she was the right choice. Annabelle is very well informed and returned my emails and phone calls always very quickly. She was great to work with, friendly, a good listener, and walked me through all aspects of becoming a US citizen. I felt I was very well prepared throughout the process which she made very easy. Prior to the interview and to being sworn in on September 20, 2019 which was a beautiful ceremony, I had additional questions and Annabelle reassured me. I highly recommend Annabelle Fischer and have already shared her name with others who are seeking to become US citizens. Thank you again, Annabelle!

Complex inquiry about eligibility for German Citizenship

Ms Fischer recently ( (July and August, 2017) helped me and my family with a complex question of my eligibility for belated (I am 70 years old) acquisition of German citizenship based on the question of my parents' forced departure from Nazi Germany in 1933 for political and religious/ethnic reasons.... While we had some of the necessary documents for considering the question the actual determination hinged on specialized knowledge of the original Postwar German legislation and especially the meaning and applicability of the 1953 amendments to section 116. Unfortunately the results were not favorable so I could not pursue citizenship, but Attorney Fischer was totally helpful and patient and kind in talking me through the phone consultation, exploring the documents we had emailed, and then carefully explaining the reasoning for the determination that despite my mother's heritage the Amendment did not cover my case. Attorney Fischer was very friendly, compassionate, and also professional and objective, and quite honest: she did not try to get me to engage in potentially costly searches that would most certainly not bear fruit.... Had there been likelihood of eligibility for citizenship I would most certainly have asked her without hesitation to take on the troubleshooting and advocacy needed to pursue the case through the German Consulate. I would recommend her services as absolutely excellent with regard to German Citizenship questions! I am confident she could handle French matters equally well. Respectfully, Peter
