Law Office Website Design in Sfântu Gheorghe
In Sfântu Gheorghe, most residents speak Hungarian at home, yet their cases are heard in Romanian: at the local court, at the Covasna Tribunal or, for some appeals, at the Brașov Court of Appeal. Between the two languages there is often the lawyer, who reads the judgment, explains it in plain words and prepares the next step.
Some clients no longer even live in the city. They have gone to work in Hungary, Austria or Germany, but the family house, the land in the village or a divorce already under way stayed here. They search for a lawyer from afar, in the evening after a shift, and above all want to know what can be settled without travelling home. We at MPO Web Studio make websites for law offices in Sfântu Gheorghe that give them clear answers. Send a WhatsApp message and we'll show you a demo free of charge.

Hungarian at home, Romanian in the courtroom
Proceedings in the Covasna courts are conducted in Romanian. Romanian citizens belonging to the Hungarian minority have the right to address the court in their mother tongue through an interpreter, but summonses, procedural documents and the judgment come in Romanian. For someone who speaks Hungarian with family and at work, a judgment several pages long, with its own terminology, can be hard to follow even if they manage well in everyday Romanian. A lawyer who can explain the same judgment in both languages does work the website is fully entitled to describe: which languages you hold consultations in, which language you can use for written correspondence with the client, how work with the interpreter is handled at hearings. It isn't praise; it is information a person needs to know whether the two of you will understand each other.
Old land registers with entries in Hungarian and German
In Transylvania, many houses and plots rest on land registers opened more than a century ago. Their old sheets, the one on the property, the one on the owners and the one on encumbrances, carry entries made in Hungarian or German, sometimes by hand, and the plots still bear topographical numbers that no longer match today's parcels. In the villages of Trei Scaune, a family that wants to sell the old family house or divide it learns only at the notary's office that the register still lists a great-grandfather, or a mortgage paid off long ago but never struck off. Untangling such a situation means reading the old entries, setting them beside the civil status records and seeing whether the road goes through the notary, the cadastre office or the courts. A law office that handles such cases can show on its website, in a few paragraphs, what the steps look like, without promising a timeframe or an outcome.
For the person abroad who still has a case back home
Someone working in Hungary, Austria or Germany cannot come to every hearing and often doesn't know what they can do from there. A dedicated page of your website answers them: what can be handled through a power of attorney signed at a consulate or before a notary in their country of residence, with the required formalities, which documents can be sent scanned and which must arrive in original, which channel to use to stay in touch with you while working shifts, and in which language. You also say honestly which steps require their presence, because this differs from case to case. The texts remain informative, with no guarantees about the outcome. One WhatsApp message is enough to get a demo built around your office, free of charge. From €290 upwards, the website takes a few days to build; the price includes one round of revisions, with a warranty running 7 days from handover.
Frequently asked questions
A client in Germany wants to know whether he must come home for his case. What do we write on the website?+
We write the general rule, not an answer for every case: many stages can be handled by the lawyer on the basis of a power of attorney, while others require the person's presence or an original signature. The page asks them to describe their situation briefly so you can tell them exactly what applies. That way you don't promise they will never need to travel, nor do you scare them with trips that may not be necessary.
I often handle inheritances from the villages around Sfântu Gheorghe, with old documents in Hungarian. Is a separate page worth it?+
It is, because people with such an inheritance are looking precisely for an explanation of the steps. The page explains what an unsettled estate means, why old land register entries matter and which documents the family should gather. It can also include a few anonymised situations, without names or details that could identify anyone. We don't promise durations and don't suggest that every case gets resolved.
Clients who left Covasna write to me at night, after their shift. How do we handle that on the website?+
We tell them clearly which channel to use, what to put in the first message and how soon they usually get a reply. You don't have to promise answers at any hour: it's enough for the person to know the message won't get lost. For scheduling a call, the page also mentions the one-hour difference between Romania and Hungary or Germany, so nobody waits for a call at the wrong time.
What would a website with a page for clients abroad and one on inheritances cost?+
Prices start at €290, and both pages are added to the same structure as the presentation website. We put the total in writing, covering every page you choose, before the first day of work. The personalised demo costs nothing, so you decide with it in front of you.
