Yesterday I’ve received the money and wanted to thank you again for resolving my case so quickly and successfully! I hope I won’t get injured again, but if I do I’ll definitely contact you again. Thank you and all the best from Berlin.

J.L. (Deutschland)

Due to a hereditary matter in the U.S., I was confronted with an unjustified lawsuit, which has put a lot of emotional strain on me, especially since there are many different legal forms that are country-specific. John Urban and his team were able to avert this lawsuit professionally and prudently and bring the matter to a good end. John Urban and his team assisted me with phone calls and information from the U.S. I am very grateful for that and in consideration of all this recommend the law firm.

S. W. (Germany)

Being based in the UK I needed a law firm that I could trust to act on my behalf and in my best interests; Urban Thier & Federer did this 10 fold! Absolutely delighted. They kept us informed at all stages, gave us wise advice, and ultimately achieved all that we were hoping to (and then a bit more). Highly recommended. Thank you very much!
