About

Technical care and transparency in your matter

I am a solicitor registered with the Order of Solicitors and Enforcement Agents (OSAE), C.P. 9738, with academic and practical experience focused on legal compliance and protecting the interests of individuals and companies.

Education

  • Technical course in Legal Services
  • Bachelor’s degree in Solicitorship — ESTG, Polytechnic Institute of Porto
  • Postgraduate diploma in Immigration Law and Nationality Law — NOVA University Lisbon

The aim is to simplify complex bureaucratic processes, with clear, timely solutions adapted to each situation — and with transparency at every stage, including fees.

Process

How it works

Three steps, from first contact to follow-up of the matter.

01

Contact

Request an appointment by WhatsApp, telephone or email. The first contact is to understand the matter — it does not start the process.

02

Consultation

The consultation is in person, at the Lisbon office, or online, and lasts 30 to 45 minutes. That is when the path forward is confirmed.

03

Follow-up

If you accept the service, the documents are organised and the process is followed with the competent authorities, with updates at each stage.

Short answers on booking, fees, and what this website can — and cannot — explain.

You can request a time by WhatsApp, telephone or email. A contact request does not start the process: the consultation is booked once availability is confirmed.
