My husband and I highly recommend the legal services and counsel of Lucca-based attorney Giuliana Patitucci. We were surprised and discouraged when our application for Italian visas were denied; then, a friend suggested we speak with Avv. Patitucci before giving up. She was well-versed in current procedures and laws, and, after studying our case, she assembled the appropriate team for the job. Avv. Patitucci filed an appeal on our behalf and successfully defended our rather-tricky case. We now have visas because of her work! With excellent English-language skills and calm, reassuring demeanor, Avv. Patitucci patiently explained and guided us through each step in the months-long process. She relentlessly pursued every avenue to ensure the best possible outcome, while also ensuring we stayed informed and involved. We recommend her services without reservation.
