Expat Law Group
How we work

Two ways in, depending on your matter.

Visa work runs on a transparent menu: pick the level of help you want, see the price up front, and book it online. Family, wills, and property are scoped to your matter, with a fixed fee agreed in writing before any work starts.

Visa & immigration

Visa help, at the level you choose.

Three doors in. Pick the one that fits and only pay for the depth you need. The two paid tiers credit back to your engagement if you retain us.

TIER · 01 Tier one · Free

First-touch call

Free / 15 minutes

Best for · early-stage questions, qualifying whether ELG is the right firm.

  • Quick review of your situation
  • Honest read on which visa pathway (if any) applies

Paid-tier fees credit back to your engagement if you retain ELG within 60 days.

Family, wills & property

Family, wills, and property, scoped to you.

These are not one-size-fits-all, so we do not tier them. We start with a free scoping call, then quote a fixed fee in writing before any work begins.

  1. 01

    Free scoping call

    We listen, confirm whether we can help, and outline the path. No charge, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Written scope and fixed fee

    You receive a clear quote and an engagement letter in your language. Nothing starts until you approve it.

After the call

The engagement, once you retain us.

What happens between signing the engagement letter and closing the matter. Visa work runs 50/50 (half to begin, half on completion); other matters follow the fixed fee in your written scope.

  1. 01

    Written engagement

    We send a fixed-fee quote and an engagement letter in your language. Nothing starts until you sign and the agreed first payment lands.

  2. 02

    Document gathering

    You receive a personalised checklist with deadlines. We chase apostilles and translations where you can't.

  3. 03

    Filing

    We file the matter and send you confirmation the same day. Visas are submitted online through the E-Visa system (Ecuador moved fully online in late 2025); court and notarial filings are handled in person.

  4. 04

    Follow-through

    We monitor government response times, respond to requirements, and pick up your cédula or final document on your behalf when permitted.

  5. 05

    Close & file

    Final balance on completion. Your matter file stays with us. When the visa renews or the will needs updating, you call the same attorney.
