Frequently Asked Questions

This is a consultation to understand your situation. You explain your case, and we identify the legal stakes together. By the end of this meeting, we will provide an initial legal opinion and an outline of the next steps.

Transparency is one of our core values. Our fees depend on the complexity of the case and the time required. During the first appointment, we openly discuss our billing methods (hourly rate or flat fee) to ensure there are no surprises.

We assess your financial situation from the start. If you meet the legal requirements for total or partial legal aid in Belgium, we will assist you with the application so that your rights are defended regardless of your income.

Not necessarily. At TBY-Law, we often prioritize negotiation or mediation to find an amicable solution. This is usually faster, less expensive, and less stressful. Court is the last resort if no agreement can be reached.

It is best to bring everything related to your case: contracts, correspondence from administrations, previous court rulings, or police reports. The more information we have early on, the better we can advise you.

The firm is fully bilingual in French and English. We also speak Lingala, allowing us to support a diverse international clientele in Brussels without any language barriers.

Do not go alone. Under the Salduz law, you have the right to consult a lawyer before and during your interview. Contact us immediately so we can prepare your defense and assist you at the police station.

It depends on the area of law (criminal cases often move faster than civil ones) and the responsiveness of the opposing party. We commit to being proactive and keeping you regularly informed of every development.

Absolutely. Immigration law is one of our specialties. We assist international clients remotely with visa applications, family reunification, or work permits before they arrive in the country.

As tax lawyers, we do more than just file returns. We defend you against the tax authorities during audits or disputes, and we are bound by the strictest level of professional legal privilege (confidentiality).
