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 thought It wasn't going to be easy....
BUT, I was pleasantly surprised. I went through the "Beibehaltungs Genehmigung" in order to keep my German citizenship. I thought it was a lot of paper work and back and forth and lots of aggravation, etc., to apply for the Beibehaltungs Genehmigung. However, I can only say that I am still flabbe...

Integrity at its Best
My sisters and I hired Mr. Siegwart to handle an inheritance in Germany. None of us could handled all the legalalities involved when closing out and selling an estate. I can honestly say "we hired the best." Everything was handled smoothly and gave us great piece of mind. If you are looking for ...
"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."
