What clients say about Portugal

  • Real expertise in her field, good understanding and great communication, finding what works best for her clients. Honest, well spoken, and perfect English.

  • The lawyer was very helpful with my questions about receiving an inheritance and drafting powers of attorney for my brother. She invested a lot of additional time in understanding what the banks need from the POA that has to be shown to the different banks. Her English was perfect, and I would definitely use her again for other Portuguese legal matters.

  • The lawyer was great. I was hesitant about sending money overseas to someone I did not know, but after speaking with her I was at ease. She always responded to my emails, and when I told her my paperwork had never arrived in the mail she asked no questions and sent more by special delivery, which I received within a week. Her English was perfect and I was very satisfied. If need be I would contact her to have work done again, and I will advise any friends to do the same.
