May 2024: Vincent was super helpful and very quick to respond to my request - on a public holiday of all days! With his help, I negotiated a great deal for myself and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. The speed, the empathy and efficiency you work - I truly appreciate and recommend it. Edit: December 2024 I ended up in a different situation with another termination agreement and Vincent reacted again super fast and even gave me great advice without asking for a legal fee as it wasn't part of my compensation. In the end, I came to an agreement with my employer but I really appreciate Vincent's advice, expertisr and responsiveness! I will use the services again and recommend to everyone!Posted on Google![]()

This was my first experience hiring someone to defend me legally. I never leave reviews but these guys really deserve it! It was an amazing experience, they were very understanding and helpful. They really went above and beyond to help me with my case. They pointed out and helped me with things that would have never crossed my mind. I felt like they really put time and effort into my case and were interested in justice. Professional and honorable people! If I ever need legal help I know who I am calling.Posted on Google![]()

If the search for understanding of whether Legal-Expat can help you with your situation or not, led you here - search no more. When I found myself in a difficult situation, Vincent helped me understand clearly what all the options available to me are, what the labour law practice suggests as wise and valuable, and how I should prepare for whatever might be coming - every step of the way. Even though I hope I will not find myself in a similar situation again, life always puts difficult choices before us… but at least for those where Vincent and Legal-Expat can help, I can take them being completely certain of what is to come. Would wholeheartedly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

I faced a lay off recently and needed legal help, that is why I went to Legal Expat. If you read this and fell unsure on wether their service is or not for you please keep reading: - Legal expat helped me to go from an insecure and lost expat navigating a very complicated termination agreement, to being very confident, understanding my rights and focusing on the end goal. - Legal expat helped me to go from the bare legal minimum severance and worst conditions to get a x3 severance vs initial offer as long as other added benefits that made me feel safer and ready for next steps. - Legal expat is about providing an affordable service. There are no hidden small letters and the team is pretty open with what you will pay, how and when. They charged me 1/4 vs of what another lawyer was asking me beforehand to take my case. - Legal expat is a people oriented service. The team is down to earth, flexible and are always there to support. For the above and much more, i will always be thankful to the team of legal expat, who helped me in moving to the next step of my life. Therefore I can only recommend their services and if you are reading this I encourage you to look no further.Posted on Google![]()

For the first time I had to face an unpleasant event such as termination of indefinite working contract from my employer. I really had no idea how to approach this situation and the agreement proposed from the company was not the best so I decided to contact Legal expat for advice. In short thanks to the work done by Vincent he was able to cut a much better deal than what was proposed in first place. We passed from just one month notice (which I was supposed to be on vacation planned already for months) to 3 months of garden living that gives me the right time and mental energy to find another job. I’m very grateful for the help and assistance Vincent provide me I couldn’t be able to face this situation all by myself.Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommended! Vincent's service is one of a kind. Besides his undisputed expertise, the level of flexibility, patience, and empathy he treats you with is outstanding.

I am glad to say these folks are best in the employment law and you get the maximum value for your money. I recently got a help from legal expat about reviewing and negotiating my settlement agreement. Since I was on a tight deadline, Vincent quickly jumped on the call to discuss letter content and assisted me with several points that helped me negotiate the best deal with my employer. Not only did I negotiate successfully, but with Vincent's help, I was able to settle the matter well before deadline. To summarize, they move very quickly so best for time-critical conditions, their analysis is thorough and in-depth so there is no chance of missing even the tiniest details, the cost is minimum and they totally sympathize with someone who has just lost their job. I strongly recommend their service if you want assistance with the wide range of legal issues concerning your employment. Thank you, again!Posted on Google![]()

Vincent surpasses the role of a legal advisor; he becomes a trusted friend who genuinely cares about your well-being. His approach is not only balanced but also highly practical. Whenever I had questions, he promptly provided answers, respecting both deadlines and time commitments. Vincent's dedication extended beyond his working hours, going above and beyond to ensure timely outcomes. His flexibility and unwavering support continue even after agreements are signed.

FAQs
Legal-Expat can assist you with cases about Rent Law and Employment Law. Our core areas of expertise are negotiating Termination Packages (Employment Law), reclaiming deposits (Rent Law) and fighting evictions (Rent Law).
However, we do not advise on matters of immigration law, family law, criminal law and public law.
Traditional legal practices always use an air of mystery around their fees. And for good reason. They usually charge EUR 200 – EUR 400 per hour, and ask for a retainer of EUR 1.000,- or more. We work very differently, and offer our services for affordable fixed fees, which are only a fraction of the costs most traditional legal practices would charge.
Want to know typical costs in a case like yours? Check our Pricing Page, and don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to explain.
No, we are happy to assist anyone who needs legal help, regardless of their nationality or residency status.
The length of time it takes to resolve a legal issue depends on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the case, your legal position and the willingness of parties to find a solution. However, we always work diligently to achieve a timely and favorable outcome for our clients and the vast majority of cases is solved in a matter of weeks (or sometimes even days.)
Yes, we understand that our clients’ schedules may not always allow for a consultation during regular business hours. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments. Because we do our consultation via videocall, we can be much more flexible than most other legal practices in this regard, meaning you usually have an answer to your questions within one day.
Yes, although our fixed fees are designed to be affordable for everyone, we understand that legal fees can be a financial burden for
some clients. We offer flexible payment plans to help make our services more accessible.
