Holger Siegwart

Mr. Siegward helped me gain my Beibehaltungsanfrage so that I can keep my German citizenship while gaining an American one. He answered all my questions and did most of the work for me. He knew exactly what was required and I got approved within a shorter time period than expected! He was professiona...l and friendly. I would definitely recommend him.

I retained Mr. Siegwart after finding him through a quick Google search. He explained the process of dual citizenship in a comprehensive manner and provided all necessary steps to successfully submit the application. In addition, he provided advise on family matters that were not part of the original... request - for free! His fees are reasonable and he helped me manage the bureaucratic jungle with ease. After I provided all the documents he made clear that I had a good chance of obtaining the "Beibehaltigungsgenehmigung" - otherwise he would not even submit it and I would not have to pay the additional costs. Everything went extremely well and I will certainly consider Mr. Siegwart again for all issues regarding Germany.

I called Mr. Siegwart with low expectations, after all, why would a lawyer help me for free? My German father recently died and I, as someone who has lived in the US for 35 years, was at a loss on what to do as the heir to his small estate. I called Mr. Siegwart's office and explained the situation a...nd, to my surprise, was immediately connected with him. The death of a parent is never easy and it is especially challenging when they live half way around the world. Tending to my father's "nachlass" was stressful and I felt very alone and had a long list of questions. In a 10 minute conversation, Mr. Siegwart gave me guidance, shared basic legal information, provided insight into the process and was very empathetic in hearing about my situation. Mr. Siegwart is clearly knowledgeable, intelligent, and kind, which is a tremendous combination! As a result, I now know how to proceed and find closure in the death of my father. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Siegwart and would recommend him to anyone seeking legal support with German or US affairs. Thank you, Mr. Siegwart for your willingness to speak to me and for your guidance. I am grateful beyond words!
