Dear Olivia, Thank you very much for your support in founding our association in Karlsruhe. It wasn't easy with the local court in Mannheim. You were able to speed everything up and took a lot of work off our hands. Your expertise really helped us learn a lot. Thank you very much for everything from the whole team 🙌
FächerBuds e.V.
I can warmly recommend Ms. Ewenike! As my lawyer, she impressed me with her professionalism, her in-depth specialist knowledge and her pronounced empathy. Her ability to explain complex issues clearly and comprehensibly, even to a layperson like me, always made me feel that I was in good hands and understood. She was always available when I had questions and took great care in dealing with all matters.
Ms. Ewenike is a very competent and intelligent lawyer with heart! She not only fights and gets the best for her clients, but also stands by the family members. A defense lawyer who can be recommended 100%!
Dear Olivia, We would like to thank you very much! You are a very, very good lawyer and have worked for us with all your energy. Thanks to your support and expertise, we were able to successfully open our growers' association - a result with which we are more than satisfied. It's easy to see that you know what you're talking about and that you really care about your clients. We can only recommend you to anyone who needs legal assistance in setting up a growers' association - but of course also as a lawyer in general.
