Our Story
A little over 15 years ago, I found myself in a foreign country, grappling with intricate visa regulations, bewildering tax codes, and unexpected financial hurdles. I was out of my element, much like many of you might feel when dealing with international finances and U.S. expat laws. That's where the idea of Expat Legal was born—not just a firm, but a lifeline for global Americans.​
