We want to help Germans, who are already living or are temporary in the United States and need legal advice with respect to obtaining the U.S. citizenship and simultaneously retaining their German citizenship .

Under German law it is now possible to retain your German citizenship even though you are acquiring another citizenship. However, in order to take advantage of this relatively new possibility you must petition to the German government before you obtain the foreign, for instance the U.S. citizenship. Please see the criteria on our German partner's website at www.pecher.com or here.

Furthermore, it can be difficult to secure assets although you are the legal heir if they are located in a foreign country and you have not been visiting that country for a number of years. When enforcing inheritance claims, it is often of great importance to have a trustworthy representative who knows both legal systems. Due to our presence in the United States as well as in Germany and our expertise and experience with both legal systems, we are able to help you in such matters, in Germany and in the United States, regardless if you are living in Germany or in the United States.
