You tell us in your own words what happened. The AI recognises the area of law, warns you about deadlines and puts together a case brief for the lawyer. You choose a verified lawyer with real availability, book directly or submit your case first, and sign the power of attorney on screen. Everything is free; you only need an account at the very end.
Step by step
Type it, say it or photograph the letter you received – in German or any other language. No form, no jargon, no account. Your draft stays saved on your device in case you are interrupted.

This does not replace advice, but you know where you stand.
You only see lawyers with real, current availability – anyone who is fully booked does not appear at all. Every suggestion shows openly why it fits: specialism, reviews from real clients, measured response time, available appointments. Filters: area of law, city, video, language.
rechtigo.de/anwaelteIf the lawyer offers direct booking, choose a free slot – in person, by video or by phone. Otherwise you submit your case brief as a request; the lawyer replies with a suggested appointment that you confirm with one click. Every lawyer is obliged to reply within 24 hours at the latest – with an acceptance or a refusal. If no reply comes, we automatically forward your request to the next best lawyer.
After booking, the lawyer requests the power of attorney: you sign on screen with your finger or mouse, with information on your right of withdrawal and the option to revoke at any time with one click. A checklist tells you which documents your lawyer needs; you upload them securely. After that, you follow every stage in the case tracker – like tracking a parcel. If you like, you can invite a relative to read along or upload documents for you.
Three things many people don’t expect
The letter scanner
An official letter you don’t understand? Photograph it. The AI explains the type, sender and typical deadline – even before you register. The photo is never stored.
Nobody sees your case in advance
Only the lawyer you choose yourself receives your case brief. Your data is processed in the EU; you can export it or delete your account at any time.
What it costs
Rechtigo is free for you. You pay the fee to your lawyer; for consumers, the initial consultation is capped by law, and many lawyers state their price in advance. You store your legal expenses insurance in the case – your lawyer sends the coverage request with one click.
