Hello Ravi, I strongly recommend you check out the lawyer’s list on the US Embassy webpage for Lisbon. As a retired Foreign Service Officer, it’s where I started my search after I began to feel uncertain about some folks I’d found simply “online.” I identified two firms that I felt very comfortable with and ended up choosing one of them. Two months in, we’re very happy with the choice! Good luck to you. Ken ---

Hum its on that page… [https://pt.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/185/Attorneys-list.pdf](https://pt.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/185/Attorneys-list.pdf) I haven’t seen most of these firms; and for some that I have spoken to before, they aren’t listed to my surprise. Would be nice if there’s some semi-private way to compare notes with lawyers, without breaking the community rules here… ---

Hi Carole – Here’s the page with the link to mainland Portugal attorneys: [https://pt.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/attorneys/](https://pt.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/attorneys/) I spoke with about eight-ten of the ones on the list and honed in on two. I’d also be happy to put you in touch with the two attorneys I had extensive conversations with, including the one that I signed up with. Both are excellent and really know the GV rules. Just let me know. Best, Ken ![image001.jpg](https://c-assets.nomadgate.com/original/2X/1/1d9e0fbc9dee02b77e19979e95918b3f8075be66.jpeg) ![image002.jpg](https://c-assets.nomadgate.com/original/2X/b/b46ed3d448f28eb19b0de9801785aeacbd68e22d.jpeg) ---

Ken, would you mind sharing your attorney recs with me? I’m looking for property in Lisbon and looking for robust assistance with the sale plus GV application. ---

Hi Mimi - I’m using Filipe Eusebio with Ana Bruno and Associates. I’ve been very happy with him. A bit more expensive than other options but still reasonable. Tell him I sent you… ---

I would much appreciate any referrals. I have an attorney but they have more or less stopped communicating. So recommendations for a replacement would be welcome. ---

Thank you so much for this list. It confirms two recommendations that I’ve received. It’s a little painful to changing lawyers at this point. But I don’t know what else to do. ---
