Dr. J. Burmeister Strafverteidiger Criminal Lawyer Criminal Law Berlin

Contacted this guy in emergency with my fiancée facing potentially severe and unjust treatment at the Munich airport, textbook, this dude messages me at 4 am(German time) after I message him at 20:00, telling me he’s on holiday, btw waking us up while we were held against our will at the airport in blatant violation of eu refugee rights….to tell us he’s on holiday! Can’t make that up. I politely ask him one simple question and pulls this holier than now like now I’m this person bothering him on vacation, , he shouldn’t have said anything back at all! I was clearly in an emergency. It seems completely unprofessional and bizarre for a lawyer to message someone at 4am to tell them essentially get lost I’m on vacation when that person messaged them at a reasonable time of 20:00. I can’t imagine someone who treats a potential client like this in an emergency is any good or cares, my question was basic. By the way this was his “emergency after hours” to be told he’s on holiday at 4am and get scolded for asking a simple question. Honestly disgraceful for a lawyer claiming half the nonsense he has on his website Response: I think he’s on full display. I am able to write a review because the behavior is completely unprofessional. It warns others who might be in an emergency involving the things he promotes on his website.

Take care act like a scammer just take money and no solution same.answer you can get at the government website

Meh. It’s all about the money for doing the least amount of work. At least that’s my impression. Told me he has friends in the immigration department and yet, ended up getting something i could have done on my own. I’m sure for standard immigration stuff, its better to save the €1500. He doesn’t return phone calls when you leave messages with the secretary.

In a personal level well mannered and friendly, but I truly don’t understand such heigh ratings. Personally the gentleman did not get me the Niederlassunserlaubnes which I seek since 2017. Through your case, he will follow these strategies: - It’s gonna take forever, so let’s enjoy it through the upcoming years and decades 😂 - Never plays with your cards/situation in your hand right now and try to think and play them strategically to win you, No - Looks effortlessly for what is not important and could be missing and not try to find way to explain to people responsible in Ausländerbehörde to finish a case. - Fast responses in unimportant moments, while in culmination situations ZERO response, even if the response requires a calming “Ok will confirm once I do A or B” Trust me, my case and requires are more than enough e.g(Studied Bachelor and Master in top tier universities since 2008 in Berlin) Still case is open. Above all that, tomorrow I go alone to fight for my right for the 4th time, while he thinks I don’t make enough money as a musician because of Covid-19, and ignores how much I am financially stable and own couple of businesses + my apartment here. In short please avoid this office if you want to end cases efficiently, if your papers are 100% fine and you are financially stable, go with translator and you will be victorious hopefully.

Wow, I called and sent him an email for my case, he said I will take a look and called back to check him wether he will take the case or not. He blocked me on the phone? And never replied or called back!

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Burmeister as my lawyer. Since I originally got in contact with him based on the great reviews I found here on Google Maps, I find myself obligated to contribute and share my experience. I went to see Dr. Burmeister in May 2021 to open a case against my landlord regarding my rent. After an initial discussion where all the documents at my disposal where shown to Dr. Burmeister, it was agreed that the case was strong and we would move forward. The case was opened shortly after by Dr. Burmeister. During the next few months, communication from Dr. Burmeister has been bad. Whenever I would ask for a piece of information by email, Dr Burmeister would either fail to answer completely, or answer with only a couple of words in a very unprofessional fashion, leaving me mostly in the dark regarding my questions. I understand that a person might be busy but this was absolutely not a proper way to communicate and behave, and I was certainly not asking much. Dr Burmeister's communication surprisingly only improved towards the end of the case when things took a very unfortunate turn and he clearly understood I was extremely unsatisfied with his representation. Here comes the sad part, in January 2022, during the first hearing in front of the judge, it turned out Dr. Burmeister originally made a huge mistake and opened the case against the wrong landlord, resulting in the loss of the entire case, plain and simple. As a conclusion, I lost very large sum of money both from the legal fees and the loss of the main claims of the case. I'm sure Dr Burmeister will promptly answer that this is not the reality and will deflect any kind of responsibility and that it was a possible outcome from the start, or that the case is somewhere else, but this is absolute non-sense. Dr. Burmeister clearly mis-represented me in this case by opening it against the wrong landlord when he had been presented with all the relevant information and had the means to do the proper verifications. The case wasn't lost because of the claims that were made but because the case was the wrong one entirely from the get go. Advises from another lawyer I asked clearly suggest that in his opinion, based on the information I gave, Dr Burmeister clearly made a professional mistake with the case. Not only that, but that Dr. Burmeister was surely covered because lawyers are required to have liability insurance for such a scenarios. To my knowledge to this day, Dr Burmeister didn't do anything to try to own his obvious professional mistake or to rely on his insurance. Based on my experience, I would certainly not recommend Dr Burmeister legal counsel to anybody.
