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.

I wish to thank Holger Siegwart with a difficult inheritance situation that we, as a family, were unable to resolve without his and his colleagues help.

Long and convoluted process
I contacted Mr. Siegwart in regards to a "simple" inheritance house sale from Germany. After contacting the opposing law firm we discovered that this was being disputed by a third party and involved two other law firms. Mr. Siegward was able to negotiate a very favorable out come for me. His persist...

Excellent lawyer - highly recommend
I consulted with Mr. Siegwart about a small piece of land in Germany that my brothers and I had inherited and now wished to sell. Living in the U.S. and not familiar with German inheritance and property laws, I knew I needed to seek the advice of an attorney. After researching attorneys on the inte...
"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."
