Rechtsanwalt Martin Bernhard

This lawyer was taking care of my employment law case from Oct.2024 to Aug.2025 in Ingolstadt labour court. At the end of his Service I did rate him with one star and he went to another state and filed a claim against me in Jan. 2026 to remove the negative rating. Google displays that 2025 also several claims has been raised as defamation but no knowledge in which states. According to my personal opinion, a contract MUST be written between the lawyer and the client. In the contract it MUST be clearly written which duties would be on the shoulder of the lawyer and THE EXACT TIME the lawyer will fulfil the duties. Do not do any verbal agreement. For every termination letter that the lawyer takes to the court write clearly the duties and the TIME that he plans to do it. Lawyers costs in my opinion are based on the amount in dispute. Even if the lawyer does not take any legal action and does not submit a defence letter to defend the client and just forward the termination letter to the court. If the lawyer wants to take more termination letters to the court, ask him to clarify everything in WRITING. Do not accept even one word VERBAL. Later if there is a dispute, courts do not accept verbal agreements. They need written evidences or WITNESS. Otherwise it is considered a defamation. Every meeting with a WITNESS. Even 5 minutes. My personal opinion is that if the lawyer goes on vacation, with the knowledge that he received a deadline 3 months ago (in December) from the court to submit a defence letter to the court,he should inform the client at least ONE day before the end of deadline about his absence, instead of leaving clients emails and calls for several weeks unanswered. This did not happen just once. I felt that there was unbelievable amount of pressure from the lawyer side during this approximately one year to miss my rights and do settlement with my employer. That was making a lot of stress. Although from the beginning we had agreed that he reinstates me. But unfortunately the pressure was after accepting the case. I believe that by accepting the ABFINDUNG, lawyers costs are more than when the employee returns to her work. I think that if lawyer takes the second termination notice to the court, then receives a statement from the opposing party and he needs to reply on it but he needs more time, be transparent and communicate this with client that he has received something from court but he does not have time to reply on it. Or at least when the judge more than 10 times to the client at court says that” I will rule against you” the lawyer shares with the client or judge that he needs to submit a statement to the court that turns the court outcome, instead of sharing his plans in the BIBERACH CIVIL COURT. My opinion is that not sharing plans with client is the lawyers tactic. He tries to make the client to accept the settlement, when client does not accept, lawyer takes the client to the court and when the judge says that she will rule against client, client has to accept the Abfindung to leave her job. During CIVIL Proceedings lawyer said that if client did not accept the settlement, he wanted to ask the court to extend the deadline for him to submit the statement to the court. I think the lawyers doings are contradictory. This is my personal opinion. I think that the lawyer should be more transparent. Share the plans with the client and let her to decide for her case. I think the lawyer focus on adminstration matters including INVOICE was more than expectation. I think that the lawyer must keep a balance between administration and legal work. I think that the lawyer needs more training before dealing with employment law cases in courts. At court I had the feeling that, the lawyer was not in the Kammer Termin for an employment case before. I had the feeling that it was his first experience in Kammer Termin of a labour court. I had the feeling that the lawyer did not have enough self-confidence to represent me
