Any feedback on [MMT](https://nomadgate.com/portugal/legal-services/mmt-legal/?source=forum) now that you’re a little farther in the process? We’re considering her.

Thanks.

My experience with Antas de cunha one of biggest law firm so far is good ,but i highly recommend work with law firm instead of individuals especially you arent fluent in Portuguese and portuguse work culture.Once you submitted you wont gonna lose your rights for sure but obtaining may tskes a decade instead of 5 or 6 years.Wont be surprised

We are now working with [NSM](https://nomadgate.com/portugal/legal-services/nsm-lawyers/?source=forum) instead of the smaller single person firm we were with. Things feel like they are moving faster and with more support. So far, so good!

Has anyone had any experience with Raquel de Matos Esteves or anyone in her firm, RME Legal? Any relevant information/recommendation would be appreciated.

This is pretty close to what I’m paying [Prime Legal](https://nomadgate.com/go/prime-legal?source=forum). I have found them knowledgeable and accommodating, but the communication ebbs and flows depending on who is out of town.

I have been off of the platform for awhile but we did work with Raquel for awhile… Are you still looking for information?

I haven’t used them personally, but I’m impressed with [Prime Legal taking the initiative to get and publish answers from AIMA, etc. (e.g. here)](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/whats-the-potential-impact-of-the-2025-portuguese-election-on-the-golden-visa-program-and-pathway-to-citizenship/71816/677).

Where our lawyers generally give us the standard Portuguese “we must be patient” and “let’s wait and see” responses, [Prime Legal](https://nomadgate.com/go/prime-legal?source=forum) seems to be more on the “go-getter” end of the spectrum 🙂

She was very sweet and seemed like an honestly good person.  
That said, she also seemed young and potentially somewhat inexperienced in her law practice.  
Things were a bit disorganized and moved slowly.  
I hope this helps. Again, she was a very sweet and warm person which is what engaged us in the beginning..  
Best, Cyndy

Does anyone have recent experience with law firms of Ana Bruno e Associados or BBA lawyers for the Golden visa?

We loved working with CCA. A local firm with experience in all aspects of the GV and immigration.
