Attorney Pohl has a strong background in litigation and tax law, which was evident in how he handled my case. His expertise, particularly in tax disputes, was clear, and he navigated complex legal nuances well. However, communication could have been more frequent—there were times I felt in the dark about case progress. While his competence was never in question, the responsiveness left something to be desired. The wait times for updates were longer than expected, which added unnecessary stress. Overall, I’d recommend him for his legal acumen, but clients should be prepared for a less hands-on approach.

I had the pleasure of working with Dirk Pohl on a complex tax dispute that involved both litigation and cross-border tax law. His extensive experience, particularly in international tax matters, was evident from the start. Dirk’s deep understanding of both U.S. and German tax laws made navigating our case much smoother. He was meticulous in preparing our case and provided strategic advice that ultimately led to a favorable outcome. The only area for improvement was the clarity of his fee structure—while the quality of his work was outstanding, a more detailed breakdown of costs upfront would have been helpful. Overall, Dirk’s expertise and recognition as a top attorney in tax law were well-deserved, and I would absolutely recommend him for any complex tax litigation.

Attorney Dirk Pohl was certainly well-versed in tax law and litigation, which was evident in the way he approached my complex case involving cross-border tax disputes. His 16 years of experience and recognition by Best Lawyers spoke to his competence—he clearly knew the nuances of both German and international tax regulations. However, while his legal advice was sound, the communication during the process felt uneven. There were long stretches where I didn’t hear back from him, which made it difficult to manage expectations. The wait times for responses were often longer than I had hoped, especially for urgent matters. That said, when he did provide updates, they were thorough and well-reasoned, showing his depth of expertise. If you need someone with strong tax litigation experience, he’s definitely qualified, but you may need to be proactive in following up to avoid delays. Overall, a solid attorney, but the service delivery could be more consistent.

Lisa Hall
I engaged Dirk Pohl for a complex tax litigation matter spanning jurisdictions between Germany and the US. His deep expertise in both Tax Law and Litigation proved invaluable - particularly his recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Tax Law by Best Lawyers. The case involved cross-border tax disputes, and Dirk's 16 years of experience navigating international tax frameworks gave me confidence throughout the process. He demonstrated an impressive command of both German and international tax regulations, breaking down complex concepts in understandable terms. The resolution was favorable, and his strategic approach to the litigation was clearly informed by his extensive recognition in this field. My only minor critique would be that response times to email inquiries could be quicker, though this didn't significantly impact the case outcome. The firm's rates were transparent, though I would have appreciated slightly more flexibility in billing for some procedural steps. Overall, Dirk's meticulous preparation and specialized tax litigation experience make him an excellent choice for similar cases.
Barbara Ramirez
I worked with Dirk Pohl on a complex tax litigation case that required both litigation and tax law expertise. Dirk's background as a recognized attorney in these areas was evident in his strategic approach and deep understanding of the legal nuances. However, while his legal expertise was solid, I found the communication somewhat inconsistent. There were delays in responses to emails and follow-up questions, which created unnecessary delays in our case. Additionally, the billing transparency could have been better—some invoices felt disproportionate to the time and work described. Overall, I felt Dirk's knowledge and awards (like being named Lawyer of the Year) justified the outcome, but the experience left me wishing for a more responsive and attentive process. For those needing top-tier legal strategy, he’s competent, but clients should be prepared for an uneven communication experience.
