Dr. Maximilian Pechtl

As acting notary in Villingen-Schwenningen, I advise private individuals and businesses across Baden-Württemberg on notarial matters. Having previously worked as an attorney at commercial law firms and as a notary assessor, I place particular value on clear explanations, short paths to a decision, and a certification process tailored to your specific situation – with care, reliability, and a clear focus on workable solutions.
