Daphne Axtmann
Attorney at Law
Welcome to my website!
I render legal advice on all aspects of contract law, internet law, sale of goods, tenancy and real property law, employment law, commercial and company law, corporate law, as well as family and inheritance law.
Having studied for several years in England and Japan I am also familiar with their legal systems and, if necessary, can assist you with comparative law in several languages..
My law office is close to the Wiesbaden Justice Center, at Mainzer Str. 25a, 65185 Wiesbaden.
I would be pleased to develop a solution for you and look forward to discussing your legal questions with you.
The Law Office
Good legal education, continuous further training and international experience guarantee optimal client care.
In this respect it is essential to discuss the facts at an early stage, to check the prospects of success, and to keep an eye on the costs right from the outset.
Based on a thorough legal analysis, I advise you on solution options and represent you out of court in negotiations with the adverse part and also in court proceedings.
