About Me

As an attorney with dual admission in Brazil (OAB/RJ) and Germany (RAK Köln), I offer comprehensive legal support across national borders. My focus is on resolving complex legal questions in the German–Brazilian context.

Through my years of experience in both legal systems, I understand not only the legal differences but also the cultural nuances that can be decisive in international legal matters.

I support you personally, transparently and efficiently – whether in family matters, real estate investments or the recognition of judgments.
