Ms. Vellenzer and her assistant always made an effort to clarify my questions and uncertainties. I am very satisfied.

Very dissatisfied. Poor advice; you had to drag every piece of information out of her. Not recommended.

So far, so good. I did have to wait a while during the initial consultation, but these things happen. Task largely accomplished! Not quite as planned, but certainly partly my own oversight, meaning, do your research beforehand. Therefore, here are a few tips to avoid surprises, for example, with the bill: - Clarify exactly what you expect from the lawyer. - Agree on the intended tasks in writing. - Clarify the scope of the desired legal representation in advance. - Document in writing beforehand whether you want legal representation, e.g., litigation including corresponding billing according to the fee schedule, or legal advice based on the effort involved. - It's best to clarify cost coverage with your legal expenses insurance yourself beforehand. - One more tip, for example, regarding the payment of a severance package: Pay attention to whether the agreement specifies gross or net – this determines, among other things, who bears the tax burden! ... Perhaps consult your tax advisor. - Clarify exactly what you expect from the lawyer and how far you want to go – again, put everything in writing.
