Adriana was fantastic in helping me acquire my citizen card. Her explanations were detailed and clear, making it easy to understand the process in both English and Portuguese. She set a realistic timeline, promising to get things done in less than a month, and she delivered on that promise. I was impressed by how efficiently she handled all the necessary documents without asking for anything unnecessary. Adriana navigated through my case's complexities with ease; it seemed like this type of request was second nature to her. The outcome was exactly as she predicted—no surprises or last-minute warnings. Throughout the process, our conversations were simple, friendly yet always professional. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated without ever forgetting about my case.

I had a great experience working with Ana Sofia at ASA - Ana Sofia Alves - Solicitadora & Legal Consultant. She first helped me get my passport sorted out when I arrived in Portugal, which was so smooth that I didn't hesitate to return for help with my wife's passport. Ana was clear about the documents and costs from the start and kept us informed throughout the process. Now she's assisting me with getting a driver's license, and we're even discussing purchasing a house in Porto, for which she provided valuable contacts. She handles things very professionally, but what stands out is how she makes you feel like family.

Ana Sofia has been my go-to legal consultant since 2020. She's helped me not only with my business documentation for legalization but also took care of the paperwork for my Airbnb property. Recently, she assisted me with my application for Portuguese citizenship. We're in touch at least once a week; she's incredibly attentive and fair with her pricing. Ana often provides detailed information and free consultations, explaining everything without additional charges. I really appreciate her availability to work on weekends and evenings when needed.

Navigating immigration can be daunting, but my experience with Ana Sofia from ASA was truly reassuring. Me and my partner want to come to Lisbon in a year or two to permanently stay here, so we wanted to know the paperwork, what is required. I was pleasantly surprised by how structured and meticulous she was; she asked upfront what information we needed to help her prepare thoroughly for our online meeting. Her communication was crystal clear, and she was impressively punctual, despite the meeting being virtual. The best part? The first consultation was free, allowing us to explore our options without any financial commitment initially. Ana Sofia’s professionalism and warm demeanor clearly set her apart, and we fully intend to seek her expertise as we move forward with our plans. I truly felt we were in knowledgeable and caring hands throughout the process.

Ana Sofia at ASA has been my go-to legal consultant for the past two years, ever since she seamlessly handled my passport and Portuguese ID application. She's incredibly professional and takes care of everything from start to finish. Not only did she efficiently manage my documentation for citizenship but also assisted my brother and granddaughter through their processes with equal diligence. Currently, Ana is helping me with my driver's license and other immigration-related matters. What really stands out is her availability; she's given me her private number, allowing me to reach out even on weekends. Over time, she has become more than just a service provider – she’s a trusted friend.

Adriana was fantastic at helping me acquire my CAE number and get my Atividade Aberta sorted out. Her explanations were very clear, and she could communicate in both English and Portuguese, which was a huge plus. She provided a realistic timeline of two weeks to handle my case, and she stuck to it. All the documents I needed were managed very efficiently; I didn't have to worry about any of that stuff. She navigated through the complex parts of the process with ease, even taking time to show me how to manage my bills online – super helpful! In the end, everything turned out just as Adriana predicted. Highly recommend her services for anyone needing legal assistance with business matters in Portugal.

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
