Establishing Legal Facts

I file applications to establish facts when documents are missing or unobtainable. Fast and to the point.

I apply to court when a legal fact is required to register rights or obtain benefits and the document is missing or an authority refuses. I assess grounds, collect evidence, draft the application and represent you in court. You get clear prep instructions.

  • Check if the fact establishing procedure is appropriate
  • Assemble evidence. certificates, archives, witnesses, photos
  • Draft the application and motions to obtain evidence
  • Appear in court and support subsequent registration
Plain guidance and a systematic approach. The outcome must work for authorities and registries.
