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![]()
Savino RasolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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![]()

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![]()

When I faced an issue with my employer, I urgently reached out to Legal-Expat for legal assistance. Their response was prompt, and we arranged a meeting.

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. Having Vincent as my legal advisor instills confidence in me. He is undeniably one of the best legal experts I've encountered, particularly in MSA review and negotiations. I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking a reliable and supportive legal partner.Posted on Google![]()

Losing your job can feel confusing and overwhelming. Many people search online and think their company’s offer is fair—but it often isn’t. These offers usually don’t consider your leverage or how practical arguments (like the time formal processes take) can help you negotiate a much better deal.
We’ve seen too many cases where people signed their termination agreement and reached out to us too late. At that point, there’s usually not much we can do. Don’t let that happen to you—get help before signing anything.
Limited availability
Due to the high demand for our services, we can only take a limited number of new cases. If you’re facing an employment termination, don’t wait – contact us today to ensure your rights are protected and you get the solution you deserve.
