Just got the information here on the german list that
it might be
*illegal* for german attorneys to work pro bono (the money they
might charge and must charge is stricltly reglemented here, and they
must not not do stick out their head too much with anything that
could be interpreted as "advertising themselves"). So probably it
will get hard to find one. We have two attornies or at least
law-professional among the german contributors (I guess), but one
prefers to stay anonym and the other already didn't want to be admin
because of the possible legal implications...
The consultation can be completely informal and not official advise,
of course. Surely German lawyers aren't forbidden from chatting with
me about such things.
Was my message posted on the website so that lots of people will have
the opportunity to respond?
