Does a telephone enquiry cost money if I ask for an initial assessment of the chances of success of my case?

As a rule, a telephone consultation is only a rough estimate, as not all the information required for a serious assessment is usually available. For this reason, we usually recommend a consultation appointment, which we are also happy to arrange at your premises. The initial telephone consultation is limited by the German Lawyers' Fees Act (RVG). If there is only an initial consultation with the lawyer, regardless of how long this consultation lasts, the lawyer may charge consumers a maximum of € 190.00 (plus VAT). Whether this amount is reached depends on the value of your matter, which in turn is regulated in the RVG.
