Three front doors...

 

This is one of the three front doors of MRA. This is our oldest website, with materials produced since 1992. Besides the current information, it contains historical documents and interventions, since this was one of the first Portuguese legal websites.

 

The other front door is our Citizenship & Immigration Website, in which we edited all relevant information about our provision of legal services on Immigration and Portuguese citizenship law.

 

The third front door sums up the information about our Privileged Areas.

 

Three solutions on a global and information society timing. Because we exist to create solutions.

 

The Firm Policy

 

The lawyers of MRA refuse to provide legal assistance to the State or any public entity, specifically the public companies, and do not accept to find a solution to the problems of the clients based on favouritism or influence peddling.

 

Because they understand the promiscuity between the public and private interests is offensive to the free market and to the good quality of the legal services, they support a permanent list with the lawyers who render services to the State and public entities to be published on the internet, as means to allow the consumers to be perfectly aware of the levels of independency of the persons to whom they request juridical assistance.

 

The lawyers of MRA support that the legal and administrative deadlines imply that the State has special obligations to meet them, adopting a proactive attitude with the purpose to enforce the law and the State must take the responsibility when such deadlines are not met. For this reason, the Powers of Attorney, which are given to us, contain, as a rule, powers to sue the State and its employees based on the civil responsibility mechanisms.

 

Our Fees Policy

 

Since we are providers of legal services and not partners of our clients, we essentially calculate our fees based on the time we spend working on their cases, which naturally is the best way to evaluate the developed efforts to tackle real difficulties.

 

The lawyers and trainee-lawyers are divided into five groups according to their experience.

 

Taking into account the severe financial crisis that, generally, affects Europe and, particularly, Portugal, we have adopted the following table of hourly fees in March 2010:

 

Lawyers Group A – 100.00€

Lawyers Group B – 80.00€

Lawyers Group C – 60.00€

Trainee-Lawyers Group D – 40.00€

Trainee-Lawyers Group E – 25.00€

 
 
Professional Fees - Hourly Rates
Our fees are charged according to the time we spend working on the cases and the success of our performances. Our lawyers are divided into four groups, whose hourly rates vary from 90€ to 250€.

Portuguese communities
The distance of Portugal and the insert in other orders lift very specific problems abroad to the resident Portuguese.
