Testimonies

“While visiting Portugal, an unforeseen accident required us to secure legal support, resulting in a long, difficult process in which we had to navigate legal, medical and immigration issues simultaneously. Cruz Oliveira & Associados responded quickly and was invaluable in all aspects of managing our complex situation. No one expects to need expert legal support while on vacation in a foreign country. We could not have managed the process without Vasco and João.”

“When we decided to move from the United States to Portugal in 2018, we quickly found ourselves intimidated by the large amount of documentation required and unfamiliar protocol to follow. Did I mention that neither of us spoke a lick of Portuguese?
We knew we would need help, and were enough lucky to be connected with Joao Goncalves at Cruz Oliveira. Joao helped us to navigate the difficult and complicated process of obtaining a residence permit from our initial meetings with the Portuguese consulate in the US, all the way through receipt of our documentation here in Portugal. All the while, Joao has been professional, responsive, and a truly calming presence. He has gone above and beyond, anticipating potential issues before they arose and even helping us to get settled in our new home. His presence enabled us to focus on the important stuff – the fun and excitement of life in a beautiful new place. He saved us countless hours of work and stress.
We are so grateful for Joao’s assistance in making our move to Portugal and transition to life abroad smooth and painless. We’d happily and enthusiastically recommend Joao’s and Cruz Oliveira’s services to anyone looking to make a similar move!”Patrick Brennan -
