Legal Services
Lawyer
Welcome in my country!
I was born and raised in the Algarve. My home town is Quarteira where I grew up by the sea. For 5 years I lived in Lisbon while studying Law, but came back home missing the Algarve and I went to live in Loulé. I became a fully certified lawyer in 2001 and have been working since then mainly with expats. This has been a true privilege! Being invited to be part of this group is seen as a challenge which I am willing to accept, knowing the difficulties that expats have, when moving and living in Portugal.
