“I’m an American British mum who relocated from London to Bordeaux this past January with Eric’s assistance on the visa paperwork and process for me and my two teenage daughters. I confidently recommend his services. I particularly appreciate how forward thinking he is, especially as the process pertains to my eldest daughter, as when she turns 18, things will be a bit different. He is trustworthy, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I’ll engage him again for the renewal process as a measure of security.” – Sarah Eaton
“From the first point of contact Eric has been friendly professional and always ready to help. I hate change! For me, renting my house in the uk, putting everything into storage and moving to France was huge. Of course post Brexit this has been even harder and French paperwork is not easy to navigate as a single mum.This is where Eric has been invaluable and I honestly do not think I would be here without him. He has been incredible, sorting out the paperwork, answering my innumerable questions and always providing a guiding hand. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and professionalism. He is now organising my year 4 Visa and there is nobody else I would trust.“ – Jo Millar
