German CITIZENSHIP Law

At StennerLaw, the process of becoming a client begins with a mandatory, comprehensive consultation. This review serves as the foundation for determining whether your case is legally viable and evidentially sound, and it is the first and most important step toward formal representation. I personally conduct this evaluation and provide it as a dedicated legal service, separate from any ongoing representation.

Many of the citizenship matters I handle involve complex historical backgrounds. In particular, German citizenship cases often depend on documents that are decades old, written in old German script, or located in archives across Germany. As part of the consultation, I examine the records you provide, identify any gaps, and determine which additional documents will be needed to support your case. This may include birth or marriage certificates from German authorities, which I assist in locating and retrieving where necessary.

The purpose of this process is to ensure that any application is based on a solid and well-documented foundation. I work with individuals whose circumstances fall within the scope of my practice and who demonstrate a strong likelihood of success. If, after the initial consultation and assessment, I determine that your case meets these criteria, you may then decide whether to move forward independently or to retain me to handle the preparation and submission of your application.

If you’re ready to begin, the first step is to schedule a consultation.
