German Law in the
United States
Welcome to Stenner Law
My firm is specialized in legal matters concerning German Law in the United States.
let's get started
Dual Citizenship for Germans living in the United States
You want to apply for American citizenship but keep your German citizenship? Or have you lost your German citizenship already because you became a U.S. citizen?
Having dual citizenship is the exception in the German citizenship law. However, there are options to apply for a retention permission or, in case you lost your German citizenship already, to apply for re-naturalization.
Contact me for a first brief assessment to find out which way is the best for you.

Social Security Law of Germany
Have you worked in Germany and wonder if you qualify for Social Security in Germany?
Are you going through a divorce with a German citizen and wonder if you qualify to receive social security through your spouse in Germany?
Contact me for a first brief assessment to learn more.
let's get started
Transactions with German individuals or businesses
German and U.S. contract law are quite different. If you do business with a German individual or company and German law applies, you should know the pitfalls. Contact me for a first brief assessment and we find out which is the best way to support your case.
Do you need an attorney?
My experience dealing with German government agencies for over 25 years tells me, there is no difference in applying on your own or through an attorney. They are not more “impressed” nor would they treat your case differently if you applied through an attorney.
The big difference instead is: the attorney knows what to focus on and which facts are important to provide and explain the right way in order to support your case.
There are many option on how you can work with me: Maybe you just need a consultation. Maybe you want to file on your own and we will go over the application form in a video call. I can also apply on your behalf and take over the entire conversation with the authorities.
Contact me for a first brief assessment and we find out which is the best way to support your case.
