TESTIMONIALS

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.

I had three matters each requiring expertise in different areas of the law, with one covering two jurisdictions. Benjamin was able to help me solve each of these, and in a way that was clear and explanatory – few lawyers are either able to or wish to demystify their knowledge, but he does! And with courtesy, warmth, patience and humour!
He easily passes the acid test of being the ‘go-to’ person for professional legal solutions.

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!
