Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
Luigi's name comes up every now and again on this and other forums. I don't recall anyone ever reporting that they actually have used him or what the results may have been.

In italy we assist to apply in Bologna, where is located our firm.
By italian law it is not necessary to apply where it was born the italian ancestor.

TIME THAT IS NECESSARY TO STAY IN ITALY
It is necessary to stay extimately 2 or 3 days to ask the residence in the Comune, and get the residence control from the local police, in a house / room we will rent for you.

Ciao Sonsolesg,
Any reason you don't want to use Luigi? I have rolled around the idea of applying in Italy and am wondering if you see a red flag or something that is keeping you wary of Luigi.

Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
It seems to me to be very costly considering that the applicant still has to do the bulk of the work...
I can understand hiring an attorney for cases where the applicant is challenging a facet of the law (such as the "1948 rule" where Luigi claims to have had some success), but not for routine jus sanguinis situations.

Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
Yeah, I suppose you're both right. 2,000 Euro does seem high for something that you can do at a local consulate.

Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
if there are errors on the documents or you cant find the listed acceptable ones I.E only can find military record. It might be nice to have someone fight for you! that is the only reason I am considering it. But please if anyone has names of lawyers keep posting because I am interested in alternatives to.
Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
I believe this lawyer has been mentioned frequently on www.expatsinitaly.com You may want to ask about him there, because I believe some have had direct experience with him.
Re: Lawyer in Italy specialized in italian citizenship
In order to apply in Italy, you must be a legal resident. However, most people other than some retirees who meet the guaranteed income requirements without performing work in Italy, cannot qualify for an Elective Residence Visa issued by a Consulate in the USA.
But Luigi can establish a temporary legal residency for you while you're in Italy as a tourist. If you have all of your papers in order and an extra $2,000 to spare, it might be a good idea to check out this option rather than waiting two years for an appointment at a Consulate in the USA.
