Daniel Frühauf, Lawyer
With more than 25 years’ experience practising law across Germany, I am familiar with the working practices of naturalisation and immigration authorities and use this knowledge specifically to further your interests.
I provide you with dedicated advice and representation, conduct negotiations with the relevant authorities and stand by your side in court. In doing so, I focus – wherever possible – on reaching a swift and appropriate out-of-court settlement.
“Can I get a residence permit even though my visa has expired?”
“How long does the naturalisation process take and how much does it cost?”
“My employer wants to hire me – what visa do I need?”
“Am I at risk of deportation? What can I do?”
“I’ve received a notice of refusal – what now?”
Send Your Iquiry
I correspond in German and English.
