Your law firm for administrative law
Reliable protection against erroneous authority decisions, be it a rejection, a reduction of your benefits, a recovery claim, or any other order against you.
As your lawyer, I will guide you safely through the jungle of paragraphs in Hamburg and throughout Germany. I advise and represent you transparently, empathetically, and clearly – in German, English, and Spanish.
Received an erroneous decision?
Objection to authority decisions
Whether it’s a rejection notice, a fee notice, or official requirements – authorities make mistakes.
I will examine the legality of administrative acts, file an objection for you in the correct form and within the deadline, and represent you in legal proceedings before the administrative court.
School law and legal action for kindergarten places
Has your child not been assigned a kindergarten place or been rejected by your desired school?
I will support you in legally claiming your statutory right to a kindergarten place or help with school transfers and unfair disciplinary measures.
Challenging exams and university law
A failed exam during studies or training endangers your career.
It is possible that you too have experienced grading errors or procedural defects. I will review your exam documents and challenge unfair grades for you.
Social law
I will stand by your side as your lawyer if social benefits, such as citizen’s allowance and related social benefits, have been rejected or reduced. I will also gladly review recovery notices for you and take action against them if necessary.
Neighbor protection and building permits
Has your building permit application been unfairly rejected or has the building authority issued an demolition or cessation order? Even if your neighbor is planning a construction project that lowers the value of your property, I will advocate for you in building law.
Other questions in public law
I will personally, transparently, and with full commitment assist you with all your legal questions – nationwide.
Frequently asked questions in administrative law
For most official decisions, you can file an objection within one month of notification.
Important: The deadline begins on the day the decision is delivered to you by post. If a proper legal remedy notice is missing at the end of the decision, this period is even extended to a full year. Nevertheless, react immediately!
Yes. In Germany, there is a statutory entitlement to a care place from the age of one year.
If the City of Hamburg does not assign you a place or assigns you one that is unreasonably far away, this entitlement can be successfully claimed through preliminary legal protection (summary proceedings) before the administrative court.
The same applies to assignment to desired schools.
Challenging an exam means that the assessment of an exam is reviewed judicially or extrajudicially.
The chances of success are often better than expected: Examiners surprisingly often violate procedural regulations (e.g., noise during the exam, too short processing time) or exceed their discretion in grading. Access to the file through me will quickly bring clarity here.
A competitor lawsuit is advisable if you have been overlooked for a promotion or the filling of a higher position in the public service and the employer has violated the principle of selecting the best candidates (performance, suitability, qualification). Since positions are filled quickly, it is necessary to prevent the competitor from being appointed through summary proceedings.
If your building permit application is rejected, it is first important to check whether the project complies with the provisions of the
development plan or fits into the character of the surrounding area.
An objection must be filed against the rejection within one month.
If this is unsuccessful, a so-called action for a declaration of obligation to issue the building permit can be filed with the administrative court.
Many legal protection insurances completely exclude public law in the pre-litigation proceedings (the objection procedure) or only offer initial advice for it.
However, as soon as court proceedings before the administrative court begin (e.g., lawsuit against a decision or summary proceedings), insurance coverage applies in full in most tariffs. I will gladly handle the free coverage inquiry for you.
Process & Costs
Contact: Please feel free to contact me to arrange an initial consultation. In this meeting, we will discuss the sensible further course of action in your case. Ideally, you will describe your situation to me in advance and send me relevant documents by email.
Transparent lawyer fees: Since the costs for a lawyer in public law are legally dependent on the economic value of the matter (the amount in dispute according to the Court Costs Act),
a flat fee for each procedure cannot be named in advance. Based on your details, however, I will immediately determine the estimated costs for you. Based on this transparent assessment, you can decide freely whether you wish to mandate me.
Don’t worry: The legal fees will be explained to you in full transparency from the beginning. Money should not be an obstacle to defending yourself against the arbitrariness of authorities or securing your child’s future. In case of financial bottlenecks, we can gladly arrange a fair installment payment plan.
