Lawyer and appointment

The right lawyer – with a free appointment

After you describe your case, Rechtigo suggests lawyers who fit it and says why. You see their free appointments and book directly – by video or in person.

Suitable suggestions

By area of law, focus, reviews and proximity – never paid placements.

Free appointments

Only slots that are genuinely free; booking is instant.

Video or in person

By video, your lawyer can advise you even from another city.

Reschedule yourself

To another free slot – without calling the lawyer.

Suggestions

‘Why this lawyer?’ is shown alongside

Rechtigo compares your case with the lawyers’ profiles: area of law and areas of focus, reviews from real appointments, response time, proximity and free appointments. Every suggestion shows openly why it fits. There are no paid placements in these suggestions.

  • Your deadline is shown above the suggestions
  • Many lawyers already state their initial consultation fee here
From everyday practice

Two employment lawyers fit client Anna Schulz’s case. She chooses lawyer Max Meier: he works in her city, Berlin, and has protection against dismissal as an area of focus.

Book an appointment

Choose a free slot, by video or in person

Free appointments are generated from the lawyer’s consultation hours. You choose video or an in-person appointment and tap a free time. The appointment is booked straight away – you receive an e-mail and a reminder 24 hours beforehand. Video appointments have their own room; you enter it with ‘Join video’.

  • So that your lawyer is prepared, Rechtigo asks a few short questions beforehand – and never asks again what you’ve already answered
From everyday practice

New client Laura Seidel wants her deposit back. On lawyer Max Meier’s profile she chooses ‘In person in Berlin’ and Monday 2 November, 11:00.

Reschedule

Reschedule an appointment yourself

Under ‘My appointments’ you reschedule an appointment yourself to another free slot with the same lawyer – up to the cut-off your lawyer sets, and no more than twice. The appointment is rebooked straight away; you and your lawyer receive a confirmation by e-mail.

  • ‘Note me for an earlier appointment’: if an earlier slot with your lawyer becomes free through a cancellation or rebooking, you get one e-mail
From everyday practice

Client Thomas Hoffmann has an appointment with lawyer Max Meier on 9 November 2026 at 16:30. On 30 October he realises he can’t make that day and chooses another free slot himself.

Case request

You decide how long you wait

Instead of an appointment, you can send a case request; your case file goes with it. You decide the maximum time you’ll wait for a reply and what happens afterwards: nothing, forwarding to one of your lawyer’s partner lawyers, or to the next suitable lawyer. Without your choice, nothing is forwarded.

  • You can change or withdraw your choice under ‘Your requests’ until the request is forwarded
From everyday practice

Client Anna Schulz sends her case request on 21 October 2026 at 19:05. Lawyer Max Meier accepts the next morning – nothing had to be forwarded.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Your question isn't here? Write to us at support@rechtigo.de.

What if no free appointment suits me?

If the lawyer accepts case requests, send them one without an appointment – they can propose an appointment from it, which you just confirm. Otherwise, choose another lawyer.

Are the lawyers on Rechtigo verified?

Yes. You only see lawyers who have proven their admission to the bar – checked against the official register of lawyers. The profile only shows a specialist lawyer title (Fachanwalt) if it is entered there.

Will I be assigned a lawyer?

No. You choose yourself – from the suggestions for your case or in the lawyer search, for example by city, language or video consultation.

What is a partner lawyer?

A lawyer your lawyer has chosen for forwarding – otherwise a colleague from their lawyer team. Requests are only forwarded to a verified lawyer who is taking on new mandates; if none fits, Rechtigo lets you know.

What if a lawyer declines my request?

Then you receive an e-mail. With ‘Find another lawyer’ you can choose another lawyer straight from there.
