You are not alone! I am here to help you. I am a sworn translator and interpreter in Portuguese and English - a judicial expert at the Court of Appeal of Poitiers. Sometimes, all it needs is a phone call in French. Other times, paper work can be more tricky. But I'll stick to it: I've learned how to deal with the French administration.
Get in touch with me, and we'll see how I can help you.
