Mr Greithaner is very reliable, you feel comfortable and understood and he is always on fire for his clients. I have rarely seen a lawyer who does his work so excellently and really knows what he is doing. Not a chatterbox, but a doer. Thank you for everything.

We have absolutely nothing to complain about: contact was friendly and professional at the same time. We were also reliably and regularly kept up to date on the status of our case, which we ultimately won. From our side, a big thank you again to the Gabler law firm and Hendel and of course the unreserved recommendation for those who are looking for some competent lawyers. 😉

Nice contact. Technically, the case was lost due to a missed deadline. Edit: In this case too, legal action will be taken against an unsatisfactory assessment.

I never had the feeling that it was really about me and my concerns. Communication is difficult and messages are obviously lost. Weeks of silence, then the letter spewed out by the overwhelmed helpers is torn to pieces by the other side. Edit: But then it doesn't take a day before legal action is taken against bad reviews on Google and they are to be deleted. Complete with a wall of paragraphs. If only I had received such commitment to my case. You have to let that sink in.

The lawyers Gabler & Hendel represented me competently in the diesel scandal against Audi. (It was an Audi A6 allroad 3.0 TDI). Communication, advice and feedback on the ongoing matter were top notch at all times. I was very pleased with the conclusion of the proceedings. (won)

I contacted the G+H law firm because of the diesel scandal, after I had decided to file a private lawsuit very late. I received competent advice very quickly and we were able to file a lawsuit within a few days. As the case progressed, it became clear that the defendant company did not want to settle. Mr. Gabler took a lot of time in several phone calls to explain all the processes and steps to me "at eye level" because there were certain risks without RS insurance. The case ended 100% in our favor. From a human perspective, I couldn't have had a better experience with Mr. Gabler and his employees on my first contact with the legal system. The clichéd ideas I had turned out to be completely unfounded.

I was looking for a lawyer in relation to travel law "flight delay/cancellation" and found exactly the right one. The law firm is very friendly, helpful, always available for advice and did everything necessary. Every request received an answer and we won the lawsuit against the airline. It's worth going to a professional law firm like Gabler & Hendel turn than grapple with a portal. Despite the long distance, everything went perfectly. I highly recommend the law firm and would use them again in the future. I would like to thank the entire law firm for all their efforts and our positive success. Thanks :-)

I commissioned G&H with the claim against an airline (delayed flight) and the law firm completed the process transparently and ultimately successfully. To be recommended without reservation.

Very professional approach, 100% of the claim was sued. It pays to be patient and not to give up prematurely.

Absolute recommendation. Especially Mr. RA Hendel understood from the start the options, the risks, the pros and cons within the framework of a dispute. He was always competent and informative. His commitment was absolutely outstanding, his handling impeccable. Above all, his actions were certainly not only optimized for his own gain, but also clearly protecting/reflecting my interests/wishes. This is exactly what you want from a competent and trustworthy lawyer.

Law Firm Award for Lawyer Gabler & Hendel!Yes, the law firm definitely deserves an award. Because successfully suing well-known tour operators and airlines is certainly not something you can take for granted. Many thanks to the entire team for their exemplary cooperation. We felt very well advised, looked after and cared for. Unreservedly recommended!

Mr. Gabler gave me excellent advice on employment law. My company gave me notice and then took it back because I hired a lawyer. Many thanks to the law firm Gabler Hendel.

I was not really taken seriously here, nor was there even an attempt to represent me properly. Why not just refuse from the start, but instead hold out your hand for the notes, only to not make any effort afterwards? There is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of quality!

Ask & Answers to the emissions scandal
I have received a letter from KBA - how should I do?
If you have received a letter from the KBA (Federal Motor Transport Authority), you should contact our office. Because it is advisable to wait with the software update first. We will also check your case for you free of charge and without obligation and let you know whether you should install the update.
I want to defend myself against the emissions scandal - what are my chances?
Your chances of success depend largely on the time of purchase, the make, model and engine of your car. The courts judge mostly different. We would be happy to explain this to you in a free phone call.
I don't have legal expenses insurance - is it worth filing a lawsuit?
In many cases it is worth filing a lawsuit without legal expenses insurance. We also work closely with a litigation financier who acts like a kind of legal protection insurance for you. So you don't have to worry about legal fees or court costs.
I want to take action against the manufacturer - what do I have to do?
We recommend the following procedure:
- Arrange a free, no-obligation call us.
- Send us your vehicle registration document, vehicle invoice and the details of your legal protection insurance (if available).
Our lawyers will examine your case individually and will contact you. If your case is promising, we will proceed as follows:
- We carry out a coverage request with your legal protection or request coverage from our litigation financier.
- With positive feedback we write to the manufacturer and ask him to take back the defective vehicle.
- If the manufacturer then do not respond, we will submit without delay a lawsuit against this.
Do I have to return my car if I complain?
Our claim is aimed at the reversal of the purchase contract. This means that you have to return the vehicle, but receive back your purchase price minus a usage fee. However, the automobile manufacturers often try to compare each other. In this case, the comparisons stipulate that you keep the car and get a part of the purchase price refunded.
What is the usage compensation?
The compensation for use is calculated using the following formula:
Gross purchase price * driven kilometers / expectable remaining power
Example: Let's assume you drive a car with a purchase price of € 35.000. You bought this as a new car with 0 KM and have driven 100.000 KM so far. Then the calculation looks like this:
€ 35.000 * 100.000 KM / 300.000 KM = 11.666,67 €
This means you would need in an action against the manufacturer compensation for use of 11.666,67 € get credit. You get in our sample calculation so 23.333,33 € by the manufacturer back (€ 35.000,00 - 11.666,67 €).
As expectable rest mileage we put 300.000 KM based. This mileage is based on the latest rulings by the BGH and is therefore to be used as a reliable value. Some firms also accept a value of 500.000 KM or no compensation for use. This is possible (in theory), but not enforceable from our experience and frivolous.
