When we arrived at our meeting with Maître Kergueno and Ms Duterlay we were full of questions, misunderstandings and some anxiety. We felt that our situation regarding residency, work permit and international implications were complex and overwhelming. We received a very warm and friendly welcome and, once we explained our situation, Maître Kergueno and Ms Duterlay calmly put us at ease. They shared their extensive knowledge and experience with care and attention to detail and soon a simple solution was revealed. We can't thank them enough for their kind, professional approach and their patience in explaining the legal aspect of our situation and the alternatives open to us. We left feeling relieved and well informed. We highly recommend this wonderful team to guide you through your questions, towards a solution. Natalie and Michel

Mr. Kergueno was the first solicitor I had the pleasure of meeting with here in the South of France, from the very moment I submitted my query, I was met with a prompt reply and an invitation to meet him at his Cannes office.I had an issue relating to the ownership of my foreign car and he proved to be very knowledgeable and helpful with this matter.I felt confident that I had received top tier advice to help resolve this longstanding issue.Benjamin was very personable, his English language skills were exemplary, he was honest and showed a great passion for his profession. I cannot recommend highly enough, and I will certainly seek his counsel again in the future.

I made contact with Floyd Avocats for advice on visa/residency options in France post-BREXIT. Mr Kergueno offered me an online consultation at very short notice. Within just a few minutes I could tell that he was the right person to be talking to as he quickly narrowed down all the options I had been contemplating to the best and most effective solution for my circumstances. He carefully mapped out a plan of action including referral to a colleague who could provide specialist advice on appropriate medical cover, a requirement for the long term visa. In addition, he gave broad guidance on the potential tax implications of longer stays in France. He gave generously of his time and I have already referred a friend who may benefit from his services in due course.I would recommend Mr Kergueno without reservation.

I highly recommend Benjamin A. KERGUENO. I had a very complicated estate matter. My aunt lived in Cannes and I in Boston. She had no children, and because of the Holocaust no other surviving relative. This was not easy for an American to sort out with state genealogist, notary, and all. Through no fault on our part it had taken longer than France’s inheritance laws demand, and an extra tax was being levied. Benjamin appealed and won, saving me quite a bit of Euros. He clearly explained, and most importantly I felt I could trust him. He is honest and competent, as we Americans might say to the core! You will not go wrong by engaging in his services.

My husband and I met with Mr Kergueno regarding some tax questions (USA/France). He took his time to explain how the French system works and how it might affect our situation. After the meeting we had a few follow up questions which he answered quickly. I agree with some of the other posts that it is difficult to find a trustworthy, thoughtful and intelligent attorney. I highly recommend Mr Kergueno and his team.

We also had the pleasure of working with Ms Iilila Kruk regarding some issues with our long stay visa. She was equally talented, kind and very resourceful. If you have any challenges with your immigration paperwork I strongly recommend you contact Ms Kruk.

Normally I don't post anything on the internet yet I feel I really need to post this. He's the best lawyer I've ever met. First of all I'm definitely a foreigner and the embassy was really really far from Nice. I was eager to get a help from local and sent an email.

I Met Benjamin Keruengo last year in London regarding problems on the campsite where I own a mobile home. His excellent English reassured me that he fully understood my problems. He dealt with them swiftly to my entire satisfaction. He is very approachable and we have exchanged many emails since. I now regard him as my friend in French law. If you need help, you need look no further .I give him a 100% recommendation.

I sought the advice of Benjamin in a personal injury claim. He responded very quickly and was honest and forthcoming with his views and likely costs. He doesn't put any pressure on to retain his services. Would recommend him.

Benjamin Kergueno is a true cross-border solicitor with an excellent approach to advising companies and HNW on all legal matters. The fact that he has an office both in London and Nice, France is very convenient and indeed, reassuring. I 100% recommend him to my clients as I know they will be well looked after.

Benjamin Kergueno is a great source if you need assistance. Within hours of sending an initial email asking for help in a rental dispute, Mr. Kergueno responded (on a Sunday) and took the time to read through my rental contract and advise me in the right direction. He responded to each of my inquiries in detail, never seeming to mind the additional questions. I would 100% recommend him for your legal needs.

I wanted to write a review as I have had the most positive and successful experience with Me Kergueno, friendly, professional and knowledgable - and perfect English. This was a small issue and he helped resolved it in the minimum of time and with the miminum of fuss.

We had several issues finalizing a real estate purchase transaction (including, final statement from Notaire, funds distribution, coordinating with a tenant). The purchase closed on Feb 1., but then the aforementioned issues dragged on for weeks, and weeks, and weeks. We were attempting to facilitate from here in the US, but became so frustrated with the situation, we contacted M. Kergueno for assistance. The best decision we ever made!Benjamin is extremely professional and attentive. He was able to resolve EVERYTHING promptly. The notiaire distributed our funds, the tenant became current on rent, and all is right with the transaction. We really can't express how grateful we are for all that he did for us, how quickly he did it, and how well he communicated with us throughout the process.Todd and Sonja WilliamsPortland, Oregon U.S.A.

I recently met with Mr. Benjamin Kergueno to consult on French immigration policies and procedures. I'm an American and will be applying for a visa to open a business in France.As anyone who is facing this process knows, immigration paperwork can be dreadfully cumbersome and overwhelming. Mr. Kergueno diffused many of my anxieties on the matter. He was welcoming and reassuring - also very practical, and straight-forward. But perhaps more importantly, Mr. Kergueno is knowledgable, generous with his time, deeply informative and followed up straight away with printing and sending information via email.He provided me with all of the support I needed. I have great confidence in his knowledge and abilities. He made a very intimidating process much more manageable.Also important to note: His English is flawless (my French is absolutely not). He put me at ease with the situation of language right away without any pressure at all.

Mr. Kergueno provided an outstanding service for me and my family in dealing with a horrible landlord in Montpellier; she has a rather difficult time following French laws or acting morally in general. Briefly, she decided she wanted to cut our agreement for the apartment we were inhabiting one month short and she asked us to move out (my family that includes a small child). She gave no reasons for the request - we always paid rent on time and the apartment was always in perfect shape. I tried to reason with her directly but had no luck. All of our agreements were in writing, so we were clearly in the right morally and, we presumed, legally, although my knowledge of French law is non-existant. Nevertheless, she had her lawyer sent an email threatening to evict us. As you might understand, this caused no end to our anxiety.I reached out for advice and got so much more from Mr. Kergueno. He wrote a letter to the lawyer (who was also acting outside of the law) and voila, problem solved. Mr. Kergueno explained my rights and the French laws to me (and to the opposing lawyer I presume). Mr. Kergueno also followed up with the opposing lawyer when the landlord attempted some subsequent chicanery, and again, problem solved. I cannot express the peace Mr. Kergueno's help has provided to me and my family. If I have subsequent issues with the landlord - which would not be surprising - there is no one I would rather hire than Mr. Kergueno, I know the problem with be solved quickly and professionally.DB

    Mr Kergueno took on my case when my original solicitor retired. I cannot fault all the effort he and his team have given. Mr Kergueno provided an invaluable service following a family bereavement in France.
    He was very understanding and reassuring, whilst providing a thorough and professional service, resolving the difficult issues surrounding the deceased’s estate. These included applying for an Acte de Notoriete and the complex process of closing a small business in France.
    Everything was conducted in English. The costs involved were made clear at the start. Mr Kergueno has a high recommendation from me.

    I would like to thank Benjamin Kergueno for his professional help in understanding the French system of radar fines, as he said is complicated and for an English speaker more so!
    He answered my emails promptly and helped me see the next step of action.
    I appreciate his honesty to let me know his fees would be hiegher than the fine itself
    I would not hesitate to consult with him again
    in any other matter in the future.

    As an English-speaking coproprietor in a small voluntary syndic(i.e. We do it ourselves) I had several problem areas and questions about French law and practice. These ranged from voting and decision-making to debt management and recovery. Benjamin provided clear, practical guidance and explanations which have helped solve our problems. Excellent standard of professional service – thank you!

    I would like to thank Benjamin Kergueno, for his excellent service and very helpful advice.

    Mtre Kergueno proved to be a true voice of reason and great judgement throughout a stressful time for me. At every point I felt confident in his knowledge, and his approach to matters was calm and professional. During a period when setting up a business in a foreign country can be daunting, Mtre Kergueno took much of the pressure away from me. I will continue to use Mtre Kergueno in the future.

    We would definitely recommend Benjamin to anyone needing legal assistance. We were in urgent need of a lawyer to assist us with documentation from our home country. Not only was Benjamin very quick to reply to our initial email enquiry but he was able to see us at short notice which was great as we had a very tight deadline to meet. Benjamin was incredibly helpful, and very patient with us (there were a lot of documents). His English is also fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again should the need arise.
