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!!

Knowledge, reputation and persistence

Annabelle Fischer recently did a thorough, knowlegeable job in successfully representing my two adult sons and me, all born in America, in also becoming naturalized German citizens under Art 116 II GG. I've practised law for 5 decades so I rarely need to hire other lawyers. In this instance, it prove...d to be not just helpful but necessary as well as reassuring to do so. The process is complex. It's essential to have someone familiar with how to go about getting the needed documentation both in the U.S. and in Germany, presenting the information properly so the review of the facts goes smoothly in Germany , and then regularly following up to make sure matters proceed as they should. Ms. Fischer is well regarded in NYC at the German Consulate, and that factor is always helpful. I have no reservation in saying that my sons and I are thoroughly pleased and satisfied that Ms. Fischer has been so ably representing our family.

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!

German Visa Issue Resolved

Annabelle provided services for my wife in pursuing to resolve a long standing Visa issue. Prior to enlisting Annabelle's assistance my wife and I had sought to resolve the issues through a German attorney's office which proved to be less than fruitful. The origin of the issue dated back to 2017 an...d it was not until we found Annabelle that any progress was made towards resolving the outstanding issue. Annabelle's reviewed our case thoroughly and outlined the necessary actions through out each step in the process. She clearly identified what challenges existed and guided us in submitting supporting documents to strengthen our case. Annabelle's complete knowledge of the German law / justice system along with a strong network of connections in both the U.S. and Germany proved to be invaluable. You can have the best intentions in the world to provide all the necessary information to strengthen and win your case but if you are not intimately knowledgeable with the German immigration system you will be walking in the dark as we were. Without having Annabelle's assistance my wife would still have this lingering issue which would have impacted our life goals and future. A big thank you to Annabelle for all her persistent efforts and assistance with resolving our case! We highly recommend Annabelle to anyone that is serious about resolving legal or immigration matters within the German system!

Detail oriented professional Attorney - Highly Recommend

I retained Annabelle Fischer for a complicated estate matter to obtain an Erbschein (Certificate of Inheritance) from the German courts in Hannover. She skillfully handled numerous requests from the probate court. She proactively assisted with our visits to the German Consulate. When other services... were required concerning translation and taxation requirements, Annabelle quickly and efficiently networked to solve those problems as well. I would highly recommend her. Her experience, in depth knowledge and determination to complete any task are truly amazing. I appreciate all you have done for us Annabelle. Thank you.
