About the law office
Since 2015 Attorney Christian Cardone is working as a lawyer in Berlin with the focus of immigration law, nationality law, asylum and refugees.
We represent you nationwide. We will support you in all kinds of visa procedures, rights of residency and in obtaining German citizenship in front of German embassies abroad, in front of the regional foreigners offices and the administrative courts all over Germany.
Legal proceedings against the German Embassy - as represented by the Foreign Office - always lead to the Administrative Court of Berlin. That is why it is important to find a lawyer in Berlin.
The law firm is located in Berlin Mitte on the Mohrenstraße 17. The office can be reached easily by subway (U2/U6) to Stadtmitte.
