Frequently asked questions

Do I need to travel to Brazil?

No. The vast majority of cases are handled 100% online, remotely, without you leaving the United States.

How do I sign the documents?

By digital signature. Meetings are on Zoom and I handle all dealings with notaries and authorities in Brazil.

Which state or country do you serve?

I'm based in Nashua (NH), on the Massachusetts border, but I serve Brazilians anywhere in the world, online.

How much does it cost?

The consultation (online or in person) has a service fee of US$ 80. Note: this amount is deducted from the final price if you go ahead with the legal-services agreement. Each case is unique — on our first contact I review your situation and give you a personalized, transparent quote.
