FAQ

The questions we're asked most

Nothing. The first 30 minutes are free — enough time to give you a realistic read on your situation and your chances.

Usually within 12 hours on business days — sooner in urgent matters.

Yes. Our practice extends to clients right across Europe: we correspond with BaFin, CySEC, FCA and other regulators regardless of where the client is based, and we file claims in the German courts against foreign brokers wherever European consumer-protection law allows. For matters that call for representation before the courts of another country, we coordinate with trusted local counsel.

Under the German Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG), at an individually agreed rate, or through state-funded legal aid — always set out in writing before any work begins. When we recover your money, a success fee of 10% of the sum recovered is added to our fee. Full details are on our fees page.

We follow a clear, transparent complaints procedure — every complaint is answered personally and within set deadlines. More here: our complaints procedure.
