CSC Lawyers - Av. António Augusto de Aguiar N 183 1º Esquerdo

I got my Portuguese citizenship. This would not have happened without the support and accompaniment of attorney Clara Silva Costa. I would like to thank and warmly recommend the firm's impeccable professional service to achieve this goal. Clara and the office staff showed professionalism and dedication to achieving the goal. Thank you!

Clara is an exceptional lawyer who got my Portuguese birth Certificate apostilled from London. My certificate was issued in South Africa and she sorted out the apostille professionally, efficiently and effectively. I would highly recommend her as a lawyer to work with. Thank you again for your great work.

I obtained my Portuguese citizenship through CSC Lawyers and they did an impeccable job throughout, including detailed communication during the 2 1/2 year process. I could not recommend them more highly.

Clara helped me successfully apply for Portuguese citizenship. This was a long and difficult process that I could not have managed on my own. It was extremely important to me for many reasons - to connect with my family heritage and to secure my right to reside indefinitely in my current home country, which was time-sensitive. My application was submitted in June 2016 and approved in January 2019. The extremely complex bureaucratic process relying on 500 years of family history mostly lost to time was additionally complicated in my circumstances because I am a US national but have resided in the UK for several years. That meant that my background was scrutinised and the process dragged out for a long time. It was very stressful for me, with a ticking clock on the rights of European citizens to reside in the UK and it came down to the wire. Clara did everything she could to keep me up to date and reassured throughout the process and investigated every potential avenue of recourse to escalate the application. Ultimately my application was successful just in time, and Clara made herself available for me to fly to Lisbon immediately to receive an expedited passport and citizen card so I could get back to London as quickly as possible and with minimal disruption to my new job. It was very clear to me in Lisbon that I would also not have been able to navigate the process of acquiring my passport and citizen card without the help of Clara and her team, who acted as handlers and translators as well as tour guides. I would not have wanted to be on my own attending to the final stages of the process, and a Portuguese national friend in London later told me most other Portuguese people he knows avoid the London consulate at all costs and often fly back to Lisbon to do any business because it is notoriously bad, so I have no doubt I made the right choice sticking with Clara to the end. I have recommended Clara’s services and those of her partner Yoram Zara for the initial stage of acquiring the certificate of Sephardic heritage to anyone interested in this process, and my whole family is embarking on the process now.

I am used to work with lawyers and rarely did I encounter the level of care, of precision and of dedication offered by CSC Lawyers. All important procedural points are explained to the client, documents are asked when required and the service is excellent, easygoing and very personal. I recommend extremely strongly and without any reserve whatsoever CSC to future clients, be those physical persons or corporations. A pleasure to work with.

Clara Costa was my immigration attorney for me and my daughter when we applied for dual citizenship in Portugal (we were both born in the U.S.). It was a long and complicated process, but Clara was with us every step of the way, helping us overcome each obstacle placed in our path. Her expertise, patience, and persistence helped us finally receive our citizenship. I will hire Clara when my youngest daughter is eligible to pursue dual citizenship next year. I highly recommend Clara Costa if you are looking for an immigration attorney who will is experienced, tenacious, and who puts your interests first.

Clara and her associates have made what felt impossible possible and I finally got my Portuguese citizenship. They were able to provide sound advice in regards to details that could have complicated by case. They were responsive to my questions and supportive up until the very end. I am very pleased with their services.

Clara's team was a great help in my process of getting citizenship. I highly recommend them and will be using them in the future for other services. Great communication.
