Jean-Francois Carrier2025-07-11I made contact with VBS for a second opinion and evaluation about my situation. I was welcomed with an open mind and given Structured advice covering all potential options. I was encouraged to ask questions, making sure I understood what was presented to me. The focus was on responding to my query and never on selling me any services. I received more than what I expected, with information and references along with a more straightforward option path. I highly recommend VBS.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lee Makishi2025-05-21I do not usually make reviews, however, due to the quality of Lais and her team just inspired me to make one. First off, Lais is not only very competent, but she has a heart and throughout the process and beyond she thoroughly cared for me as a client. She in my mind represents a quality lawyer and human being, a professional I want to be working with all the time. Thank you so very much Lais! I do hope that for those who read this that this helps to give you the peace and comfort in knowing that you will be making a sound choice for yourself!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

D. McGowan2025-04-29Lais has helped me twice now, while I've been in Brazil and both times were amazing! First was for marriage, which was a very smooth, easy process. And second was for my residency, which I had absolutely no problems getting! I had consulted with a couple of other attorneys who gave me the run around and just wanted more money. Lais was very matter of fact and guided me step by step through both processes, which went perfectly. She also speaks very good English! I recommend her to any other Americans or foreigners who need her services.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Cécile Schmied2025-04-12I did my residency process and our marriage registration with Lais and her team, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. From the very beginning, they guided us through every step, providing clear checklists, all the necessary information, and handling everything with great professionalism and care. The entire process went incredibly smoothly and was finalized in just 3 months. Thanks to their thorough preparation, all we had to do was show up for the appointments—they took care of the rest. We always felt supported and well-informed, and it made such a difference during what could have been a stressful process. Choosing to work with Lais was honestly the best decision we could have made. Brazil is an incredible country, but it can be very bureaucratic, and the information online is often contradictory. A lot can depend on the specific office or location where you apply. Having someone experienced like Lais made all the difference—we felt confident every step of the way and avoided unnecessary stress or delays. If you're looking for someone reliable, efficient, and kind to help with your residency in Brazil, I can wholeheartedly recommend Lais and her teamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
