“Working with Vanessa has been a great experience! She is very committed with her job and her clients! Keep up the great work!”
“Vanessa is a devoted professional with a very high sense of responsibility and care for her Clients. As a former teammate of hers, it has been a pleasure to work with her on a daily basis and to witness all the effort she puts into every task. Could not wish her anything but the best of luck.”
“I know Vanessa from last more than a two years. I found her one of the best immigration lawyer in Portugal. She is not only the good professional but also a great and incredible person, my passion to become a entrepreneur in Portugal cannot be possible without her, my success belongs to Vanessa and I will continue my success under the great collaboration with VRL.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Vanessa over a year ago through lawyer connections I have in Brazil and Argentina. I immediately identified, and now have the experience working with Vanessa to validate my initial intuition about her. Vanessa possesses the rare combination of talents that include a very open and dynamic personality, a forthright and actionable approach to her work, superior intellect, incredible timing with her work ethic, and the professional reach to immediately activate her business network to make things come together seamlessly at the highest level of professionalism for me as her client on every level I’ve required. I have worked with countless lawyers around the the world for well over 25 years in various business endeavours, and I can say without question that Vanessa is one of the best lawyers I’ve worked with in that time. It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know her and a privilege working with her.”
