Customer Reviews

Very kind, understanding, helpful, and responsive. I really appreciated Elsa's efforts on my case.

Elsa provided excellent, friendly, and professional service in preparing documents for my fiancee and me. I would recommend her services! Thank you Elsa. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

I had the pleasure to meet Elsa through Advocate Abroad. She helped me with the purchase of my condo in Lisbon.
Elsa was very efficient, kind and experimented. She reviewed all the property documents and attended the closing with me so she could explain the content of the deed that was, of course written in Portuguese. I would hire Elsa again for my next real estate transaction.

Customer Reviews

Laura was great. Of course I was hesitant sending money overseas to someone I didn't know but after speaking to Laura I was at ease.
Laura always responded to my emails and when I informed her that I never received my paperwork in the mail, there were no questions and she sent out more paper special delivery which I received within a week.
If need be I would contact Laura to have work done and will advise any friends to do the same.

One of the most responsive and helpful professionals. Very well versed with the laws. Absolutely most recommended.

Fast and helpful service.

Teresa and her team were immediately very responsive to our inquiry and remained as such throughout their service.
Teresa's team clearly understood our needs and objectives and through their network of established local contacts, they were able to accomplish our goals timely and with professionalism and competence.
Teresa always offered to make herself or her team available to respond to any questions or concerns that we might have had, and has stayed in touch with us to offer support throughout the visa process. Teresa clearly exceeded our expectations based on your evaluation criteria listed above.
We will no doubt have additional legal matters in the future and will have no hesitation Teresa to assist us with a range of Portuguese legalities.
Overall, a fantastic job. A huge thanks to the team and advocate abroad.

Was happy with the service.
One improvement I would suggest: I received an email aimed at Americans which uses different terminology than the UK. So this could be addressed for future correspondence.

I was very happy to use the services of Teresa as I wanted someone I could communicate with in English, as I don't speak Portuguese. Teresa's English was perfect.
I was happy with the costs of the service and she helped ensure that my tight deadline was met.
I intend to use Teresa's services again in the future and would happily recommend to others.

We used Teresa at Advocate Abroad and she was great! The house we brought had paperwork missing which took a number of weeks for the sellers solicitor to sort out.
Teresa kept chasing the sellers solicitor and kept us up to date, she explained the entire process and also acted as our interpreter.
She went through all the plans of the house and explained what each document was, she was knowledgeable and gave us information on property/planning laws in Portugal.
I would recommend Teresa and if we ever buy another property we will use Teresa again.

She was very accessible, friendly and fast to reply. I would recommend her.

Teresa is absolutely wonderful. She’s dedicated and shows great passion and caring.
I’m only halfway through the process and still will need assistance to have my spouse join me in Portugal, but I have no doubt all will turn out beautifully with the continued assistance of Teresa.
Thank you for putting me in her exceptionally trustworthy hands!

Teresa and her associates were extremely helpful and professional in their work to achieve our needs, many thanks.

Teresa was very helpful and always got back to me promptly when I had questions. She made herself available by phone during my appointment with SEF, ensuring I left as a Portuguese resident. Obrigado!

Anxiety and worries over the SEF Meeting....ALL GONE :):):) Teresa was fantastic. She got the job done.
If not for COVID-19 I would have given her a big hug. I want to tell all of my expat friends...."please take a fiscal rep with you to your SEF appointment and I know just the person." :))

Teresa is super professional and can only recommend her . Best service ever

Teresa went above and beyond to ensure she attended to everything everything I needed, and explained every step of the process to me clearly and patiently.

During Covid times communication was easy and replied to queries I had.
Great service and would recommend to others with poor Portuguese as they translated everything sent to me and replied to my messages in English which was a great help to me.

A very nice lawyer who helped me quickly solve my presented problems. In addition, she presented and helped me to solve the various things that one must have as a resident in Portugal.
As can be seen from the answers above, I am very pleased with the help I have received.

Very informative, very responsive, and my NIF was provided very promptly

The service we received was professional and they did explain and provide feedback. The Tax number was obtained and the Bank account opened in a timely manner.
Whenever we had queries we could get hold of the person concerned and if not they would phone you back which we did appreciate.
