Client Testimonials
"Whilst on holiday in Italy I was unfortunately in a serious road accident. Due to my extremely basic knowledge of the Italian language and of Italian law, on my recovery I found it virtually impossible to progress with any sort of claim for my injuries. I was introduced to Luca Trinchera. After an initial meeting, I instructed them to progress with my claim. All my dealings with them where conducted in English and I was delighted that my case was successful, resulting in a significant sum being awarded."


"Lovely gentleman who will help you with anything legal required. I would recommend Avv. Luca Trinchera for any work required to ensure peace of mind whether purchasing or renovating a property. Luca will always check with any professional he believes necessary to make sure the outcome is always a good one. Luca is always kind, speaks English very well and goes that extra mile for his Clients."


"Being a resident in the UK of Italian heritage I recently inherited a family property. Not speaking Italian and unaware of where to start on selling a house in Italy, I was delighted to be introduced to Avv. Luca Trinchera. The company is very professional and all my correspondence being in English made a potentially very difficult task extremely easy and stress free. My property is now sold and Luca is currently helping me in my search for a smaller holiday apartment. I could not recommend him highly enough."


"I needed help with my real estate property and was lucky enough to reach out to Avv. Luca Trinchera. As a U.S. citizen with property in Italy and not speaking the language, I was unsure how to handle a few issues that I needed to attend to. Luca got me the answers I needed. He even made suggestions that kept my costs down so that I did not have to pay for needless work. He also went out of his way to help me find other English speaking professionals. If I have any future legal work I will not hesitate to contact Luca again!”
