LVP Advogados

We contacted Madalena Pedreira at LVP to help us obtain our permanent residency cards from AIMA as EU citizens, and the whole process was very smooth and stress-free for us. She scheduled the appointment, accompanied us to AIMA, filled in all the forms, and we only had to come in for the signatures and photos. After three months, we received our cards, which is the processing time AIMA officially states. I can strongly recommend her if you want to save yourself a lot of stress and nerves. 🙂

LVP Advogados is a client focused firm with a great deal of experience working with expats moving to Portugal. As an attorney myself, I recognize a quality firm and the attorneys and legal staff that I have worked with at LVP Advogados have each been excellent. The firm has assisted me with every aspect of my transition to Portugal, from obtaining my NIF, customs clearance documentation, residency documentation, and tax planning and preparation. Through an affiliate, they assisted me with obtaining my international health insurance. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the firm and its attorneys and legal assistance. The bonus is they are nice people too!

The team at LVP Advogados acted on my legally time-constrained problem with patience, clarity, straightforward communication, and the upmost professionalism. Specifically, they listened to my needs and acted decisively and quickly when faced with a newly ratified law that would effect my rights. I am very glad to have reached out. They ultimately helped me exercise my rights and made possible what felt impossible. I have a high degree of confidence saying that they are likely amongst the best immigration services in Lisbon if not the entire country of Portugal. A side note: I have used 3 immigration services globally, and 2 in Lisbon. In my experience, this was the best of all 3, and I would encourage anyone seeking urgent immigration help in Portugal to liase with them to see what is possible. LVP Advogados responded to emails very quickly when needed and helped me feel secure throughout the process. Sending thanks and gratitude to Javier, Joana, Soraia, and the rest of the team.

Finding a reputable, professional, highly-informed, communicative, and personable lawyer can be a challenge. I feel that I hit the jackpot when I chose Joana Veríssimo to assist me with my citizenship application. She has been more than a professional standing by my side at every crucial moment; she has become a confidante whom I trust implicitly. Yes, LVP prices are a bit higher than some others, but the peace of mind that I have received from working with this firm has been worth it. I can recommend with 100% confidence.

I highly recommend Joana Loureiro Veríssimo for anyone seeking assistance with Portuguese citizenship applications. Joana has been extremely knowledgeable, professional, and responsive throughout my citizenship by descent process. She has guided me through every step clearly, from document requirements and apostilles to translations and application procedures. What I appreciate most is her patience and willingness to help with the more challenging parts of the process, including navigating the Portuguese language course requirements and answering all of my questions promptly and thoroughly. Applying for citizenship can feel overwhelming, especially from abroad, but Joana has made the process organized, manageable, and far less stressful. I am very grateful for her assistance and would confidently recommend her services to anyone pursuing Portuguese nationality.
