It started with a profound expert opinion on how to judge our specific case, she was very knowledgeable and managed to clearly explain everything to engineers that are not familiar with immigration law. Petra Korn provided us with detailed counseling and assistance. As a result, the petitions were approved very quickly and enabled us to proceed with our naturalization application after only 1 month. We are glad that we were referred to Petra Korn and will continue to use her service for the naturalization process. Wiebke and Oliver S.W. Sunnyvale, California Retention Certificate Application/Beibehaltungsgenehmigung/US Citizenship I have worked with Petra Korn to apply for a Beibehaltungsgenehmigung” (retention certificate) that allows me to be eligible for dual, German and US citizenship. After a detailed telephone interview I was provided clear instruction as to the information required for a successful application. She was very clear and honest about requirements and chances of success. A few days after I submitted the requested information to her I received the completed forms and a written justification for review. I was very impressed with how my case was presented to ensure success of my application. Because my career suddenly became dependent on US citizenship we asked for expedited review and my application was approved within 4 weeks. I am sure that any attempts to apply for Beibehaltungsgenehmigung” without her help would either have failed or led to delays. I would recommend anybody in need to apply for a Beibehaltungsgenehmigung” to work with Petra Korn. Frank D. New Hampshire Retention Certificate Application/Beibehaltungsgenehmigung/US Citizenship About a year ago I Petra Korn was recommended to me by a friend who had just – with Petra’s help – obtained dual citizenship (German/American). Her fees were very reasonable and I retained her services immediately. Petra helped me tremendously throughout the entire process. It took only a couple of months until I received my German documents, and she even pointed me in the right direction with my application for the US Citizenship. I couldn’t have done this by myself and can only recommend her services to anyone who plans to obtain dual citizenship reach out for help. Monika H.-B Los Angeles, California Retention Certificate Application/Beibehaltungsgenehmigung/US Citizenship A friend referred me to Petra Korn for assistance with the German certification for Dual Citizenship (Beibehaltungsantrag). I had heard from others who went through the process by themselves that it was arduous, time consuming and expensive but not always a sure thing to get approved. I wanted to make sure my request would get approved with the German government. My friend said with Petra’s help he got approved immediately. I hired her and working with Petra was a pleasure. She made the whole process easy and she assisted all the way. With her knowledge and expertise we successfully submitted my paperwork with proper and convincing arguments. My request was approved by the German government without any further follow up. Petra is professional, efficient and very customer oriented. I recommend her without hesitation. Martina H. Lufthansa, Los Angeles, California Retention Certificate Application/Beibehaltungsgenehmigung/US Citizenship I worked with Petra Korn to assist me with my petition to gain dual citizenship. Ms. Korn was extremely professional and knowledgeable – she advised me well in regards to my options and rights and assessed my individual situation thoroughly. She was always available, on time and reliable. My case was a success and I thank her for the fantastic legal services she provided me! I highly recommend her! Andrea G. Deloitte, Business Consultant, CA Wiedereinbürgerung I work in Real Estate and Farming. My work demands my full attention and that sometimes causes me to neglect other aspects of my life, which led to my loss of German citizenship by applying for US citizenship without prior obtaining the Beibehaltungsgenehmigung” (retention certificate) because I was unaware of this requirement. Petra Korn was vital in recovering my German citizenship, and I will be forever grateful to her for guiding me through the legal process for which I lack any talent. I can only recommend her as a German American lawyer because I know that she will treat her clients with respect and honesty. Ralph L. Topanga Canyon, California Wiedereinbürgerung Attorney Petra Korn helped me diligently and professional through the entire process. Although my case was complicated Petra mastered it successfully. She kept me informed and explained every step of the process. She is the Best in her field. I highly recommend her. Tanya S. Sotheby’s International Realty, Beverly Hills, CA Trademark Services We retained the services of pKorn Law with regard to the registration of several trademarks for our ice cream parlor in Los Angeles. Petra advised us and guided us through the entire process of the trademark application with ease. We now have two registered trademarks and have already retained pKorn Law for further trademark application. Petra provided us with an excellent professional service and made the whole process very smooth for us as the client. We can highly recommend working with pKorn Law. Alessandro B. Bonaventura Gelato Lounge, Los Angeles, CA Business/contracts/company formation My wife and I were not exactly newcomers to the US-business and –legal environment when we met Petra Korn, but we had always ended up with pretty much the same insight: Your legal counsel will not act in your best interest – but (at least primarily) in his own! He will produce as many chargeable hours as possible before solving your problem, i.e., if he solves it at all. So when we bought another house in L.A., dealt with the bank to finance it, had structuring issues with regard to the appropriate legal entity or went through all the ‘red tape’ with government authorities,...
