Every engagement runs the same way, whatever the practice area. You always know what's happening, what it costs, and what comes next.
Use the contact form or email. Write in plain English — no legal vocabulary needed. Tell us what you're trying to do (move, buy, marry, incorporate, inherit) and where things stand today. Attach documents if you have them; don't worry if you don't.
Within one business day, a lawyer — not an intake bot — replies. Usually with two or three questions that determine which legal route fits your case, because most matters have more than one path and the right one depends on details.
What we will do, step by step. What it costs — one flat number, plus any government fees listed separately at cost. How long each phase should take, and which parts depend on government offices we don't control. Nothing begins until you approve it in writing.
Power of attorney lets us act for you in Brazil while you stay home. At every milestone — application filed, certificate issued, deed registered — you get a written update in English without having to ask. Any Portuguese document you must sign arrives with an English explanation first.
When the case ends you receive the complete file: every document, registration number, and receipt, organized and explained. If the matter has ongoing obligations — annual tax filings, visa renewals — you get the calendar of what's due and when.
Flat fees agreed in writing before work starts. Scope changes only with your written approval, never retroactively.
Even when the update is "still waiting on the federal police," you get it — silence is the one thing we never send.
Every Portuguese document comes with an English explanation of what it does before you sign it.
If your case is weak, or doesn't need a lawyer at all, you'll hear that in the first reply — not after a retainer.
Describe your situation. The first reply, the questions, and the quote cost nothing.
