Trust is built on real results and honest relationships. I have been practising for more than 15 years, and over that time I have built a successful practice with a global reach and clients from all over the world. With a track record of serving clients from more than 45 countries, the explanation is simple: professionalism, language skills, and digital workflows completely erase geographical boundaries.

I only accept cases where I have the necessary experience, a real chance of success and the genuine capacity to commit fully, given my current workload. When I take on your case, I stand behind it with all my time, energy and focus. You will not get empty promises here, but a concrete plan, clear decisions and full support.

On the day of exchange of contract, Pavel travelled several hours across Bulgaria to the village where our house is. Not only this, but he additionally travelled to the property and took up to date photos for us… His English is first rate and he is extremely responsive and empathetic to any concerns or queries you might have; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I must say Pavel did an amazing job. He is very reliable and he is a real professional. Done our court case in Bulgaria while we were in the UK and didn't have to travel there at all.

I have known Pavel since 2009 and has helped me in sorting out the mess left by previous lawyers. He is trustworthy and very reasonable in his charges for the excellent work he does in Bulgaria.

Unlike many he responded in good time and was able to satisfy all of my questions. He provided a quote for the work, which was very competitive, and kept to the price keeping me informed throughout.
