In the field of immigration and migration law, I advise individuals, professionals and companies on all legal questions related to residence, work and long-term stay in Germany. This includes applications for work permits and the EU Blue Card, visa procedures, family reunification, and permanent residence.
If you are planning to work or live in Germany, need to apply for or extend a residence permit, or are facing difficulties with the immigration authorities, I provide clear legal guidance and representation throughout the entire process.
I also represent clients who have received a deportation or expulsion notice and support them in defending their right to remain in Germany before the
immigration authorities and administrative courts.
Whether you are applying for a visa from abroad, changing your employment status, or dealing with urgent immigration issues in Germany, I ensure that your case is handled efficiently, legally securely, and with close personal attention.
Criminal law

Sexual criminal law
-
Economic and tax criminal law
In criminal law, I advise and represent clients in extradition cases, including legal challenges against a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) and international arrest requests. If you are facing extradition from Germany or the risk of being transferred to another country, I provide comprehensive legal defense at all stages of the proceedings.
In urgent and high-risk situations, this may include filing a constitutional complaint together with an emergency application before the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) in order to stop or suspend the extradition.
I also represent clients in sexual offence cases, white-collar crime, and economic and tax criminal law, including complex investigations and court proceedings. Another key area of my practice is filing appeals and revisions against final criminal judgments before the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof), ensuring that procedural errors and violations of law are properly reviewed.

Status determination procedure (Section 30 StAG)
In the area of German citizenship and nationality law, I advise and represent clients in all matters related to naturalization and the acquisition of German citizenship. This includes applications for regular naturalization, discretionary naturalization, and special cases such as restoration of citizenship.
I support you in preparing and submitting a complete and legally sound citizenship application, ensuring that it is processed efficiently by the German citizenship authorities.
If you are a descendant of a German citizen — for example a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild — I assist you in determining your citizenship status from abroad and in obtaining confirmation of German nationality, including the issuance of a German passport.
I also represent individuals whose parents or grandparents were persecuted under the Nazi regime and who are entitled to German citizenship under restitution or restoration of nationality provisions.

My practice also covers name law, gambling law, and coronavirus-related administrative law, including cases involving the repayment of COVID-19 grants and testing reimbursements.
In addition, I represent clients in education and examination law, for example if you wish to challenge an unfair exam result, a school leaving certificate, a university examination, or another important professional or academic qualification. In such cases, I pursue legal remedies to protect your academic and professional future.
Constitutional law
-
Constitutional complaints before the Federal Constitutional Court (Karlsruhe)
In constitutional law, I represent clients in constitutional complaints before the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) in Karlsruhe. In many cases involving migration law, criminal law, and administrative law, a constitutional complaint is the second to last legal remedy after all regular courts have been exhausted.
The low success rate of constitutional complaints is usually not due to the lack of merit of a case, but to formal errors, incorrect legal structure, or insufficient substantiation of fundamental rights violations. A successful complaint requires a precise legal analysis, a strictly structured submission, and a detailed explanation of how constitutional rights have been violated.
I prepare and file fully substantiated constitutional complaints on your behalf, identifying and arguing the relevant fundamental rights violations in the exact form required by the Federal Constitutional Court, in order to maximize the chances of admission and success.
Human rights protection
-
Individual complaints before the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg)
-
Individual complaints before the United Nations Human Rights Council (Geneva)
In human rights law, I represent clients in individual applications before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg and, where applicable, before the United Nations Human Rights Committee in Geneva.
When a constitutional complaint before the German Federal Constitutional Court has been unsuccessful, an ECHR application may be the next and final legal remedy. This applies in particular to violations of fundamental rights such as the right to respect for private and family life, freedom of expression, and procedural rights in criminal and extradition cases, including the right to a fair trial.
I prepare and submit ECHR complaints in accordance with the strict formal and legal requirements of the Court, ensuring that human rights violations are clearly documented and legally substantiated.
In exceptional cases, I also assist clients with complaints before the United Nations Human Rights Committee, providing an additional international level of legal protection beyond the European Court of Human Rights.
