“Extremely satisfied with the way my case was handled! I was in contact with Vincent, who was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. He took time to explain things in detail, was very quick to respond to any questions I had and took swift action. Most importantly, he managed to get things done, which impressed me after my experience with numerous failed attempts I made through other legal firms! In short, I couldn’t be happier regarding the handling and the outcome of my case.”
Fiona Unz
“Extremely professional and honest. Competitive rates. Vincent fully understood my needs and provided the best possible solution. My issue was solved and assistance was given beyond completion. He cleared up all my doubts even after the closing of the dispute. As an Expat and totally new to Dutch law and practices, I fully recommend Legal-Expat, as they are trustable and reliable professionals.”
Giacomo
“I contacted Legal Expat by submitting an info form on their site regarding an issue with my tenancy agreement/lease. I was not sure they would reach out but they did on the same day. Vincent was professional and very helpful in discussions with my landlord, and I am happy that the discussions led to a full refund of my deposit! If you are an expat having issues with your landlord, I would highly recommend reaching out to Vincent and the team at Legal Expat!”
Wadia Gichanga
“Vincent offers a great service for expats having trouble with their landlord in the Netherlands. We hired him to deal with our lease termination to make sure we received our full deposit back and after reviewing our contract he discovered that our landlord had been illegally overcharging us for almost 2 years. He was able to reach a settlement and recovered our funds within 30 days. If you’re having problems with your landlord I highly recommend contacting Legal Expat.”

FAQs
Legal-Expat can assist you with cases about Rent Law and Employment Law. Our core areas of expertise are negotiating Termination Packages (Employment Law), reclaiming deposits (Rent Law) and fighting evictions (Rent Law).
However, we do not advise on matters of immigration law, family law, criminal law and public law.
Traditional legal practices always use an air of mystery around their fees. And for good reason. They usually charge EUR 200 – EUR 400 per hour, and ask for a retainer of EUR 1.000,- or more. We work very differently, and offer our services for affordable fixed fees, which are only a fraction of the costs most traditional legal practices would charge.
Want to know typical costs in a case like yours? Check our Pricing Page, and don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to explain.
No, we are happy to assist anyone who needs legal help, regardless of their nationality or residency status.
The length of time it takes to resolve a legal issue depends on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the case, your legal position and the willingness of parties to find a solution. However, we always work diligently to achieve a timely and favorable outcome for our clients and the vast majority of cases is solved in a matter of weeks (or sometimes even days.)
Yes, we understand that our clients’ schedules may not always allow for a consultation during regular business hours. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments. Because we do our consultation via videocall, we can be much more flexible than most other legal practices in this regard, meaning you usually have an answer to your questions within one day.
Yes, although our fixed fees are designed to be affordable for everyone, we understand that legal fees can be a financial burden for
some clients. We offer flexible payment plans to help make our services more accessible.
The first step is to fill out our easy-to-use contact form.
