I highly recommend STEINWACHS and specifically Dr. Oliver Ulrich for any tenancy law matters. I had a difficult case regarding a significant outstanding utility credit and a remaining rental deposit that my former property management was refusing to pay. Dr. Ulrich was professional, responsive, and most importantly, effective. As an international, I particularly appreciated the bilingual support; all communication was handled smoothly in English, and the legal strategy was explained clearly. After his firm intervention and the preparation of a formal statement of claim, the property management finally settled the full amount. If you are looking for a specialist who gets results, look no further.
I can highly recommend Dr. Oliver Ulrich without any hesitation. From the very first contact, he was professional, calm, and extremely knowledgeable. My case was complex, time-sensitive, and emotionally exhausting, involving a difficult subletting dispute with property management and their legal representatives. Dr. Ulrich handled the matter with exceptional clarity, strategic thinking, and persistence. What I appreciated most was his ability to explain every step clearly, set realistic expectations, and still push firmly and confidently for my rights. He was always precise, structured, and solution-oriented, while also being very human and understanding of the stress such situations cause. Thanks to his work, the matter was resolved successfully without court proceedings, exactly as hoped. I felt represented, protected, and taken seriously throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a lawyer who combines deep legal expertise with reliability, transparency, and strong advocacy, Dr. Ulrich is an excellent choice. Thank you again for the outstanding support.
Dr. Oliver Ulrich was absolutely amazing! We had a consultation with him about a difficult situation with our landlord, and from the very first moment, he was incredibly kind, helpful, attentive, honest – and even funny! He took the time to listen to everything, explained our rights clearly, answered all our questions with patience and detail, and was extremely professional. What impressed us the most was his honesty: after nearly an hour of conversation, he told us – very openly – that in our case, he didn’t think we needed to hire a lawyer. That kind of transparency is rare and speaks volumes about his integrity and humanity. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to handle the issue peacefully without having to resort to serious legal action. Also worth noting: he and his team spoke with us in English the entire time, which made us feel really comfortable and understood, since we are not fluent in German. Thank you, Dr. Ulrich – we’ll definitely come back to you if we ever need legal help again! Way more than 5 starts! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
I had a time consuming case regarding a serious noise disturbance in my newly bought apartment. As a non german, not knowing my rights or understanding the language Dr Oliver Ulrich guided me, advised me and offered timely support and managed to reach a satisfactory outcome for me. Would definitely work him and this law firm again would I have the need to. Highly recommend!
I was really very happy with my experience with Kanzlei Steinwachs. Stephan Steinwachs was my attorney and he was extremely helpful and empathetic to my situation. He was super responsive and straight to the point and met my urgency to get out of living situation. He saved me time and money and I highly recommend him.
