About us

As the Dişli law firm, on this page we would like to keep you informed about new laws, changes in case law and other current topics.

Our aim in our work is to contribute to the historic mission of the legal profession — namely to the idea and conviction that it should be upheld as a duty of honour and dignity. We want to emphasise the sacred nature of the profession, which is the most important factor in achieving justice, peace and social harmony, in the face of today’s declining values.

We want to wage the necessary fight under the banner of law, justice and truth, in order to keep the field of law from being taken over by the image of a spider’s web in which only the worldly small and weak get caught while the powerful and great escape.

„We want to wage the necessary fight under the banner of law, justice and truth.“

Our firm believes that lawyers must act with the awareness and responsibility of carrying out tasks regarded as sacred for centuries, and that they must be able to put principles first while fulfilling their important duties, to ensure that justice is done and that citizens and all of humanity can live in peace and tranquillity.

As a lawyer, I feel it in my heart to ensure the correct application of the law, to safeguard it and to contribute to the achievement of justice in all disputes between individuals and the state or between individuals — whether in the courtroom in my robe or on the street, regardless of the difficulties that may arise from the circumstances and conditions of each case or dispute within my sphere of influence.

With this goal in mind, our firm carries out all necessary work and transactions without hesitation, never abandoning its legal identity and never exceeding the authority assigned to it by law, while also observing the requirements of care and loyalty arising from legal representation — entrusted to it by its clients and laid upon its shoulders by its people — to ensure that justice is done and rights are enforced.

Frequently asked questions

What are the criteria for assessing an asylum claim?

In Germany, asylum applications are examined by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) on the basis of international law and European Union regulations. Decisive factors include the dangers the applicant faces, the political situation in the country of origin and the individual security risk. Recognition is possible in particular for those who have suffered or must fear persecution, torture or other forms of violence in their country of origin on account of their political, religious, ethnic or social affiliation. Depending on the circumstances, asylum or refugee status, subsidiary protection or a national ban on deportation may apply. We review your individual flight history and prospects of success and prepare you specifically for the BAMF hearing.

What are the requirements for family reunification in Germany?

In family reunification, foreign nationals already living in Germany bring their family members to join them. Certain requirements must be met: the person living in Germany must be lawfully resident and hold a valid residence title (such as a settlement or residence permit or recognition as a refugee). As a rule, adequate housing, a secured livelihood and — depending on the case — basic German language skills of the joining family member must also be proven. We check your requirements, compile the necessary evidence and accompany the procedure at the embassy and immigration authority.

What is a “Duldung” (temporary suspension of deportation)?

A “Duldung” is the temporary suspension of deportation. It is granted when deportation is currently impossible or unreasonable for legal, health or practical reasons. It permits a temporary stay, is time-limited and is not a regular residence permit.

What should I do if my asylum application is rejected?

People whose asylum application has been rejected have various options and legal rights — including before a deportation takes place or while the procedure is still ongoing. As a rule, the rejection notice can be challenged before the administrative court within the (usually very short) statutory deadlines; an urgent application is often advisable to provisionally prevent deportation. It is important not to miss any deadlines and to take official letters seriously. We review the decision, assess the prospects of success and represent you throughout the appeal proceedings.

I’m in a Dublin procedure (fingerprints taken in another country) — what should I do?

In the Dublin procedure it is determined which member state of the European Union is responsible for your asylum application — often the state where you first applied for asylum or gave fingerprints (e.g. Italy, Greece, Spain). The following is important: contact a lawyer immediately, who will check whether a transfer can be legally prevented or postponed. Cooperate with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), take official letters seriously and do not miss any deadlines. Report any health or family reasons that might speak against a transfer. If the other state accepts a take-back request, a transfer there generally takes place. In special cases, Germany can exercise its right to assume responsibility and examine the application itself — for example on humanitarian grounds or where there are family ties. A Dublin decision can be challenged with a court action and an urgent application within a short deadline; we work to keep you here.

How can I become a German citizen?

Naturalisation is generally possible after several years of lawful residence. Requirements include a secure residence status, sufficient German language skills, a secured livelihood, a passed naturalisation test and, as a rule, no relevant criminal record. We check whether you meet the requirements and accompany the application.
