Virtual Consultation Available
I am licensed to practice law in both Germany and the U.S. (California). I had practiced law in Germany, where I was born and raised, for almost a decade already before relocating to the United States. As a result, I am not only very experienced with both legal systems, and connecting both worlds, I am also intimately familiar with both societies, they way both countries function, and the cultural differences.
In addition to that, I handle cases in courts in both countries on a regular basis, and I represent clients in courtrooms in Germany and the United States, which is a unique set of qualifications, skills, and experience in German-American law.

Real Property Transfer in Germany
I wanted to sell real estate I inherited from my uncle in Germany. I was so confused on where to begin and what to do, and my German is really poor. Mr. Siegwart gave me helpful advice and walked me through the process. He negotiated a great price, took care of all the documents, recording, and tax i...
"Mr. Siegwart is the attorney to call on for transnational legal issues involving US law, on one hand, and German/Austrian/Swiss law, on the other. I'm an attorney and I sought his advice on an issue that arose in a probate proceeding in Vienna. Austrian counsel was stuck on a choice of law issue, and Mr. Siegwart was familiar with the problem and gave us expert counsel on how to break the log jam we were facing."
