Testimonials

Empathetic advice on complex legal matters

Attorney-at-Law Thier is advising me on clarifying a very personal family matter.

In this context, I am very grateful to Mr. Thier for explaining the difficult legal situation to me as a non-lawyer. Mr. Thier gets straight to the point without sugarcoating or causing uncertainty, while also highlighting where opportunities and risks might lie. This helps immensely with personal decision-making.

It is definitely important to emphasize that Mr. Thier conducts the conversations with extraordinary empathy, which alone serves to alleviate corresponding concerns to a certain extent.

Beyond that, the team is exemplary in how it communicates, particularly in its professionalism and speed.

Indispensable service in my international inheritance

Urban Thier Federer Attorneys at Law provided me with an indispensable service in my international inheritance matter. All the staff members I dealt with consistently demonstrated professionalism and friendliness. Although I received a comparatively modest inheritance, I felt I was treated with the same respect that a larger fortune would have received.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the various steps of the process.

Excellent experience with international estate planning

Working with your firm was an outstanding experience. Our situation involved international estate planning and cross-border legal considerations, making it difficult to find the right expertise. From the very beginning, your team was knowledgeable, responsive, and exceptionally thorough. You made a complex process feel organized and manageable, and we always felt confident that our interests were in excellent hands. What initially felt overwhelming became manageable because of their guidance and expertise. We would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone seeking experienced, professional legal counsel for sophisticated international matters.

Optimal solutions and careful post-processing

The law firm Urban Thier Federer Rechtsanwälte was hired to assist me with the settlement of my wife's estate following her death in January of last year. Dr. Isabel Saulnier was assigned to me as my case manager. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of her work. Her availability, her ability to explain complex issues in an understandable way and offer optimal solutions, her meticulous follow-up (even while on vacation), her speed and flexibility were exceptional. Dr. Saulnier was consistently outstanding. In addition to her professionalism, she is also a very pleasant person to work with, which was especially valuable during this difficult time. I have already recommended her services to a colleague at the French consulate and will continue to do so whenever assistance with estate matters is needed.

Kept up to date at every stage

Since I am based in Great Britain, I needed a law firm that I could trust to act on my behalf and in my best interest. Urban Thier Federer Rechtsanwälte more than fulfilled this! I am absolutely thrilled. They kept us informed at every stage, gave us valuable advice and ultimately achieved everything we had hoped for (and a little bit more). Highly recommended. Thank you very much!

Support with property in Florida

We invested in a property in Florida, which in my opinion was sold to us incorrectly. We learned that the construction project had run into difficulties, which of course caused us great stress and worry, as we didn't know who to turn to. John Urban was recommended to us, and some of us engaged his law firm to salvage something in this situation. We found them to be very professional, our questions were answered promptly, and no false promises were made regarding our options. Overall, investing in our dream vacation home was not a pleasant experience, but without the support of this law firm, it could have been much worse.

Advice on US Law

I found this law firm through a recommendation, and my initial concerns regarding their integrity and honesty were immediately dispelled by the open and honest conversations with their partner John Urban. He took the time to discuss our matters, which was a great relief for us, as we were seeking support and advice from abroad and were unfamiliar with US law and jurisprudence. The necessary steps were lengthy and complicated, yet he himself and his competent team guided us through the many individual steps and simplified the explanations and implementation of the numerous necessary elements, so that we ultimately achieved a more than satisfactory outcome. I warmly recommend John Urban and the law firm Urban Thier Federer to anyone who needs help, advice and appropriate counsel, openness and discretion, and—if possible—the best possible outcome in an emergency.

The entire team was outstanding!

The entire team was outstanding. John Urban explained everything so clearly to me as a layperson. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he was always available or called back when he was busy. Everyone I dealt with was great: helpful, polite, and always accommodating. I would like to thank you all again sincerely and wish you all the best. I have no other experiences with law firms in the USA. I particularly appreciated the explanation of legal jargon in your emails and the use of clear and understandable language. Many law firms in Great Britain and continental Europe tend to use court language, which often deters clients. You avoided this, thank you very much for that.

Corporate level in multi-million dollar construction projects

John is an excellent lawyer who truly cares about his clients' well-being. He took a great deal of time to answer my questions and helped me navigate the confusing and difficult legal system! I was very impressed with his professionalism and his abilities. He is truly one of the best, and I have finally found a lawyer that I can wholeheartedly recommend! A huge kudos to him and his firm!
