Teresa, Lawyer in Portugal

Teresa was an excellent lawyer, helping me through my property purchase in Porto.
She was always available to answer questions or take phone calls and made the process far smoother for me than it would have been otherwise.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody.

Where my first lawyer just turned silent when things got complicated, these lawyers stepped in and guided me from beginning to the end in a professional and comforting way. I had 3 attempts of purchasing land and in 2 occasions I got advice not to go forward with the purchase of these properties, for which I am grateful.
They clearly respected my interest, unlike the real estate agents. A point of improvement could be the guidance and instructions of the local solicitors and notary. In my case, that was not optimum. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to have paid for this service, It most likely saved me a lot of problems and money. Thank you, Teresa and Tatiana, for your help!

We used this service for some specific legal and administrative issues relating to our property ownership in Portugal. Teresa and her team were very helpful, their service fees were reasonable. I would absolutely recommend them. We then used them again for IMI representation.

Expertise in her field, Good understanding, and great in communication, finding ways that work best for her clients. Honest and well spoken.

You find things on the interweb and more times than not it doesn't live up to your expectations - but that certainly wasn't the case here!

She was accurate and to the point.

Teresa's English is perfect. Her communication has been really good. It was just like dealing with my own lawyer at home who I like and trust. I cannot fault her.

Teresa was extremely helpful, responding to all our questions and explained the whole process throughout. She went above and beyond even though we made a few hiccups with dates and some paperwork and we really couldn’t have asked for more. Very reasonably priced also.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to purchase in Portugal. Will absolutely use her services in the future if we need anything else.

I will always recommend Advocate Abroad. Especially Teresa and her Team. Wonderful people, great services that make life easier to buy the land, property in Portugal.
The team also provides services with legal counseling for business or property related issues. I am thankful to Advocate Abroad. Always recommend to other Ms. Teresa from Advocate Abroad.

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!
