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.

Dual Citizenship
I hired Mr. Siegwart to help me with my Dual-Citizenship application and greatly enjoyed working with him as well as his assistant, Ms. Budimir - I found both of them very professional, experienced and pleasant.

Very good service
Mr. Siegwart and his Assistant Mrs. Budirmi have been extremely helpful, competent and efficient in dealing with my case. Every inquiry was always answered promptly and politely. I will use their services again if needed and will certainly recommend Mr. Siewart to any of my friends.

Highly recommend - German citizenship matter
I retained Mr. Siegwart’s legal services earlier this year to assist with my application to retain my German citizenship (Beibehaltungsgenehmigung), prior to filing my application for US citizenship. All throughout this process, he and his assistants handled my case very professionally and cordially...
"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."
