# Klarlaw > Free lawyer matching for English speakers with legal matters in Germany. Matching requests and the first consultation are free. Further work is priced by the lawyer. Matching depends on lawyer availability; acceptance and response time are not guaranteed. Listed areas are accepted intake categories, not a live availability directory. Klarlaw does not provide legal advice or representation. Submitting or verifying a request does not appoint a lawyer or preserve a legal deadline. ## Using Klarlaw - Choose the closest practice area and open its intake_url, or use the general intake for other matters. - Have the client review the details and authorize sharing them under the linked privacy policy before submitting. - Use the rendered form and its CSRF cookie/token, form_ts and entry_page; leave the hidden website field empty. - Never put personal details, case descriptions, documents or verification codes in URL query parameters. - Submit once, then have the client enter the email verification code on the returned page. - A successful submission awaits email verification; verification starts processing, not a confirmed match. - Keep private status links and verification codes private; use the case page for progress. ## Service and integration - [landing](https://klarlaw.de/) - [landing_de](https://klarlaw.de/de/) - [for_agents](https://klarlaw.de/for-agents/) - [service_catalog](https://klarlaw.de/api/v1/service/) - [openapi](https://klarlaw.de/openapi.json) - [guides_index](https://klarlaw.de/guides/) - [privacy](https://klarlaw.de/privacy/) - [terms](https://klarlaw.de/terms/) - [imprint](https://klarlaw.de/imprint/) - [partners](https://klarlaw.de/partners/) ## Practice areas - [Employment & termination](https://klarlaw.de/employment-lawyer/#get-help): employment - [Immigration & residence](https://klarlaw.de/immigration-lawyer/#get-help): immigration - [Housing & rental](https://klarlaw.de/housing-lawyer/#get-help): housing - [Victim of a crime](https://klarlaw.de/crime-victim-lawyer/#get-help): criminal_victim - [Family & divorce](https://klarlaw.de/family-lawyer/#get-help): family - [Contracts & consumer](https://klarlaw.de/consumer-lawyer/#get-help): consumer - [Personal injury](https://klarlaw.de/personal-injury-lawyer/#get-help): compensation - [Social security](https://klarlaw.de/social-security-lawyer/#get-help): benefits - [Criminal defense](https://klarlaw.de/criminal-defense-lawyer/#get-help): criminal_defense - [Traffic & driving](https://klarlaw.de/traffic-lawyer/#get-help): traffic - [Business & commercial](https://klarlaw.de/business-lawyer/#get-help): business ## Guides - [Fired in Germany?
