Your case file

Everything about your case on one page

In your case file you first see what your lawyer needs from you. Next to it you see how far your case has progressed – and below, all messages, your power of attorney and your documents.

Notify me at launch What it looks like

What your lawyer needs

Outstanding documents and questions are right at the top.

Messages

With your lawyer and their team in one thread.

Digital power of attorney

Sign on screen – no printer needed.

Case tracker

You see which stage has been reached and what comes next.

Documents

Upload item by item

Your lawyer requests what they need – based on a checklist for your area of law. You upload each document in its place; photos from your phone are fine. Once a file is in, it says ‘Received’ and your lawyer is notified. As soon as everything is there, the case tracker shows ‘Documents complete’.

Photos, PDFs and text documents, up to 10 MB per file

From everyday practice

On 30.10.2026, lawyer Max Meier asks client Anna Schulz for her e-mails to the HR department. She uploads the file at 17:12 – he finds it straight away in his case file.

Messages

One thread with your lawyer and their team

All messages about your case are in one thread: yours on the right, those from your lawyer and their team on the left – each with name and role. Uploaded files appear there as an entry. Rechtigo lets you know about new messages by e-mail, bundled and without the content.

You send files via ‘Upload documents’ – they then also appear in the thread

From everyday practice

Client Anna Schulz writes that she never received a warning letter. Staff member Lena Krause confirms receipt; a quarter of an hour later, lawyer Max Meier replies about the conciliation hearing.

Power of attorney

Sign on screen

If your lawyer asks for your power of attorney, you sign directly in your case file – with a mouse or your finger. You confirm each consent separately; optional items are marked. You can view your granted power of attorney at any time, save it as a PDF or revoke it.

From everyday practice

Client Anna Schulz signs on 22.10.2026 at 18:05, shortly after her video consultation. She ticks ‘Start immediately’ because of the deadline for filing a claim, but not ‘Share data’ – she has no legal expenses insurance.

Legal expenses insurance

Photograph your policy instead of typing it in

You enter your legal expenses insurance once in your account: choose from the list or photograph your insurance certificate. Rechtigo reads the insurer, policy number and excess and suggests them – the photo is not stored. This lets your lawyer request cost coverage; you see the confirmation in your case file.

Nothing is applied until you click ‘Save’

From everyday practice

On 05.10.2026, client Thomas Hoffmann photographs his insurance certificate. The fields fill with insurer, policy number and excess – he checks them and saves.

Notifications

Court hearing with everything you need to know

If your lawyer informs you of a court hearing, it appears as its own card in your case file: when, where and what you need to bear in mind. With ‘Add to my calendar’ you add it to your calendar. Your lawyer’s detailed message is in the thread.

From everyday practice

On 23.10.2026, client Peter Weber learns of his hearing at Tiergarten Local Court on 12.11.2026. The court has ordered him to appear in person – this is shown right below the date.

Review

Leave a review after the appointment

After a completed appointment, Rechtigo invites you by e-mail to leave a review. In three steps you give stars, choose topics where your lawyer helped you and, if you like, write a comment. It is published under your first name, after a brief check.

Only people who had an appointment can leave a review

From everyday practice

Client Anna Schulz reviews her initial consultation the day after: ‘Got my notice of dismissal on Wednesday, on Thursday I was in a video appointment.’

Questions

Frequently asked questions

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

Do I get an e-mail for every message?

You get an e-mail when there are new messages – bundled, at most one per quarter of an hour and without the content. Read and reply in your case file.

Can I withdraw my power of attorney?

Yes. In your case file, your power of attorney shows ‘Revoke power of attorney’.

Will I find out when my case moves forward?

Yes. When your lawyer completes a stage in the case tracker, you get an e-mail. If they have added a note, it appears in your case file.

What if I don’t have a requested document?

Tell your lawyer in your case file. They can also close the request without this document.

What does ‘Start immediately’ mean for the power of attorney?

Your lawyer starts straight away instead of waiting for the 14-day withdrawal period to expire – recommended if a deadline is running. Your right of withdrawal ends as soon as they have fully performed the service. The tick is optional.
