About the Firm

Expat Law, PLLC is a unique law firm that offers services no other firm can match.  In addition to legal services for expatriation, international taxation, international family law issues and documentation and visa support, Attorney Dawdy brings a wealth of value-added services to his clients:
Moving abroad is not just about the legal issues: medical care, shipping and logistics of personal goods, health insurance and banking, educational issues such as verification of credentials and schooling for dependents, as well as advice on dealing with the legal and bureaucratic systems of foreign nations that may be unfamiliar and frustrating to Americans.
 
These are just some of the issues that Expat Law can help you with:
  • Determining the best country to move to for your particular situation.
  • If your local banks won’t open an account for you because you’re an American.
  • If you need medical care that’s not available in your new country.
  • If your household goods get held up in customs.
  • If you have children that need to be admitted to a local school and don’t speak the language.

Many emigrants make the mistake of thinking they’ll “figure it out once we’re there” only to find out that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and the solution is more difficult and expensive than it would have been if they had planned ahead.  Finding out you need an FBI background check -with fingerprints- for your residency permit when you are on the other side of the world will create a lot more stress than if you’d taken care of it before hand.

Our comprehensive emigration evaluation and consultation service develops a complete legal plan for only $995.  This includes up to two 1-hour phone consultations, assistance obtaining all necessary documents, referrals to reputable local attorneys for assistance with the visa and residency process.  We tailor the plan to you target country so that once you get off the plane, you can be assured that you’re on the right track to start you new life.
