Why Rechtigo exists
A legal problem, the right lawyer, an appointment – simple in theory, often not in practice. Anyone looking for a lawyer ends up chasing them by phone, waiting for call-backs and still not knowing whether the lawyer is right for the problem. And lawyers spend a lot of time on admin: taking down the facts, requesting documents, answering queries, writing coverage requests.
Rechtigo connects both sides. Clients describe their problem in their own words, the platform assigns it to an area of law and shows suitable, verified lawyers with available appointments. The lawyer receives the case prepared: summary, documents, power of attorney and legal expenses insurance details are ready before the first conversation. The legal advice itself is always given by the lawyer – Rechtigo organises the way there.
What Rechtigo does
For clients
Describe your case, get an initial assessment, choose a lawyer, book an appointment online – by video too. After that: documents, messages, deadlines and the status of the case in one case file. Free for clients.
For lawyers
Prepared cases instead of phone tag: case brief, digital power of attorney, document checklist, coverage request to the legal expenses insurer straight from the case file, case tracker instead of follow-up queries. A fixed monthly subscription – never a fee per mandate.
What we stand by
- The lawyer gives the advice. The platform’s initial assessment is a pre-sorting, not legal advice on an individual case.
- No fee per mandate. Lawyers pay a subscription for the software, never for referred cases (§ 49b(3) BRAO).
- Verified lawyers. Every lawyer takes over their entry from the official nationwide lawyer directory (Bundesweites Amtliches Anwaltsverzeichnis) and proves their identity via the special electronic lawyer mailbox (beA).
- Free choice. Clients decide for themselves which lawyer they choose – even with legal expenses insurance.
- Data in the EU. Documents and messages go through the protected case file; processing takes place in the EU.
The company
Rechtigo is operated by Fallheld GmbH, based on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. The managing directors are Joel Rudmann and David Attar. With Janine S. David, a lawyer brings her experience from both worlds – as a client who searched for a long time, and as a lawyer who spent too much time on admin.
The platform is developed and operated in Germany. Registration for lawyers: coming soon. Launch for clients: 15 January 2027, across Germany.
