Cost & Pricing
Citizenship by descent: lawyer, consultant or DIY?
Zack, from European Roots Consulting.
Choose the type of help your case needs, then compare prices for the same scope. A document-coordination service is not a substitute for legal advice.
Compare responsibilities
| Option | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| DIY | You manage research, orders, translations, appointments and follow-up. Use the receiving authority's instructions. |
| European Roots Consulting | Research, document planning and coordination within the agreed package. No legal advice, representation or guaranteed outcome. |
| Qualified lawyer | Ask about jurisdiction, legal advice, representation, disputed eligibility and appeals. Confirm what the proposed fee covers. |
