Who Are We and What Do We Offer
Legacy Consulting & Referral Services (LCRS) was established out of a desire to assist foreign nationals navigating the complex process to immigrate to Portugal.
Being an immigrant herself, LCRS’ Owner found that moving to Portugal came with many unexpected challenges. As she struggled to find the right people, she didn’t want others to experience the same hassle. This was the impetus to create LCRS where our aim is to be your guiding light for all things “Portugal.”
Whether your move brings to you to Portugal to enjoy retirement on the beautiful beaches or countryside of Portugal, or launch a bustling business in downtown Lisboa or Porto, or even do a short-term visit to watch the Big Wave surfers at Nazare, we are here to help with a “one-stop shopping” experience to provide an industry professional that you can trust.
We wanted to make sure that every person who came across our website, not only found the help that they needed, but also had a wonderful experience through the process.
Each of our professionals provide tailored services to meet the client’s needs in a cost-effective, professional, and ethical manner.


How Do We Select Our Experts?
Since our company’s reputation is on the line, we have a very strict policy of which businesses are included on this website. None of the businesses solicited us to be listed; to the contrary, during our trips to Portugal, we went looking for THE BEST professional in their field, and that is why you will only see one expert per industry. We have done this intentionally to avoid competition and ensure that each professional competes only with him/herself to exceed client expectations.
LCRS upholds the time-honored values of integrity, trustworthiness, and accountability. We firmly believe that a person’s word is their most valuable asset, and we strive to embody this principle in all our interactions. Our commitment to ethical business practices and consumer protection drives everything we do.
First, LCRS’ Owner, a practicing US-licensed immigration attorney, has not only personally vetted each and every professional, but has used each and every one of them; she would never recommend someone that she has not personally dealt with.
Second, each of our professionals is by “invitation only”. Not a single one of our professionals has paid a fee to LCRS, nor does LCRS obtain any compensation from any of our professionals. This ensures that our professionals are dedicated to providing the highest level of service. LCRS will conduct periodic reviews to ensure that each professional maintain this standard and reserves the right to remove any professional at any time should their performance drop below this standard.
Third, our domain “legacyexperts.com” says it all, our professionals are “masters” of their respective crafts; you may think of them as “experts” within their industry. Each of them has over a decade of experience in their field, but beyond that, they have the “heart” to empathize with your situation.
