Ernst Wilhelm provided exceptional legal guidance for our complex construction project in Berlin. His 16 years of experience and deep knowledge of construction law were evident from our first consultation. He handled all aspects of our land acquisition, zoning permits, and contractual disputes with remarkable precision. The recognition he received as Berlin's Lawyer of the Year in Construction Law (2014-15) is well-deserved—his strategic approach saved us significant costs on potential litigation. While his billing structure was transparent, the response times during high-demand periods could be faster. For anyone needing expert real estate or construction law representation, Ernst's expertise is unparalleled. Highly recommend.

I engaged Mr. Wilhelm for a commercial real estate dispute involving construction defects. His depth of experience in both construction law and real estate was evident in his analysis of the case. He identified key legal issues quickly and crafted a solid strategy. The outcome was favorable, though it took longer than anticipated due to procedural delays. Communication was solid but sometimes delayed—sometimes I had to follow up to get updates. While he's clearly a top attorney (as his Lawyer of the Year recognition attests), his billing transparency could be clearer upfront. The final fees were higher than expected, which might have been avoided with better initial cost discussions. Overall, competent and effective, but the experience would have been smoother with more proactive communication and billing clarity.

Ernst Wilhelm handled a complex construction contract for my business, leveraging his extensive experience in construction and real estate law. As a recognized attorney by Best Lawyers, his expertise was evident in the way he structured the agreement to protect our interests. However, the communication could have been more timely—especially during the negotiation phase. While he delivered results, the delays in responses made it slightly stressful. For someone with his recognition, I expected a more proactive approach to updates. The final outcome was solid, but I’d recommend setting clear expectations upfront about availability. Overall, a competent attorney, just room for better communication.
