Client Reviews
We build lasting partnerships based on trust and concrete results.
This law firm is superb, resilient, transparent, knowledgeable, resourceful, persistent, honest, honorable, articulate, among many attributes that they demonstrate in providing clients services. They worked hard and communicated extremely well while navigating through my brothers' immigration cases in Romania. Their compassion for their client's circumstances is unmatched. They were, in part, an answer to prayer for my brothers and we are beyond grateful for their dedication to seeing their immigration needs resolved in a timely fashion. Thank you very much for your relentless pursuit of seeing our families immigration needs met.
My wife and I, both Canadians, were travelling in Romania and were detained on a Saturday afternoon at a remote border crossing into Serbia for a ridiculous reason, passports confiscated, held there without explanation of what would happen to us. I contacted Bogdan, who drove from Timosara to the police station where we’d been taken, negotiated a solution, and then took us across the border himself. So generous and kind. I can highly recommend his services.
This is the best law firm. Mr. Arsulescu and his team are very professional, very courteous and very helpful. They take time to understand the client's problem and always do their best to solve the problem without any compromise. I would highly recommend Law Office ARSULESCU. Thank you so much Mr. Arsulescu and team for your outstanding services.
I cannot recommend highly enough. Bogdan and his team gave us an enormous sense of comfort and safety as we got settled in a new country. They took care of everything so we did not have to worry, and they helped us step by step with the few things we had to do ourselves. We will use this law firm for any services under their umbrella from now on!
The lawyers here are honest with top quality service. Even though my immigration situation was incredibly messy - they stuck with me till the end. I cannot recommend their services enough. Thank you.
When I contacted Mr. Arsulescu’s law firm I had 2 pressing issues: I had just been wrongfully laid off and I was also trying to open my own business. Due to the dedication of the staff, I can happily say that both issues got resolved and the help that I received was invaluable. As a new business owner, I still collaborate with the law firm for any needed guidance; I feel much more confident with how I run my business while having Mr. Arsulescu’s firm by my side.
Mr. Bogdan Arsulescu was very helpful and honest with the issue I brought to him and his charge was also fair. I can readily recommend his services.
Without Law office Arsulescu, I wouldn’t be together with my family. My family and I were apart for over 2 years, but thanks to Arsulescu Law Office, within the space of 1 month, I was able to join my family after I was denied family reunion visa three times. Law Office Arsulescu are the best. They don’t waste your time; making things easy and successful for you is their top priority.

I have collaborated with several lawyers on cases from different fields, but I have not encountered such devotion as those from the ARSULESCU law firm. In addition to the confidence they inspire by mastering not only the articles of the law but also the procedures and remedies, they show sacrifice and integrity, getting involved beyond anyone's expectations in winning cases that seem impossible, not only at first glance. I recommend the ARSULESCU Law Firm, Bogdan, Cosmin and the entire team with all confidence and certainty!
A 10-star lawyer. I live abroad and needed to transcribe foreign birth certificates into the Romanian registry. Mr. Arsulescu demonstrated exceptional competence, coupled with kindness and a downright friendly atmosphere, devoid of any kind of arrogance. A new generation lawyer, flexible in any situation, just as we would like in 2022.

I am an American from Texas who recently immigrated from Texas to Cluj, Romania, for Christian ministry purposes with my wife and five children. After extensive struggle and failure working with immigration consultants and even a local attorney, I received a deportation order. It was subsequent to all of these events that I was introduced to Bogdan and his team. They were able to reverse the court order, make a new application for me and secure a residency card! I am unable to fully describe the blessing this law firm has been, as well as Bogdan personally. Their labors on our behalf included court proceedings, personal visits to the immigration office here in Cluj and constant help sifting through Romanian legal documents. Bogdan and members of his team, like Cosmin, were with us every step of the way. I found this team to be completely unequaled in the country of Romanian. To anyone reading this review, please take it from me: do not waste your time, energy or monetary resources on any other advisors. Call this law firm immediately and trust them to handle your affairs, and you will not be disappointed.
I cannot recommend Bogdan Arsulescu and his team at Law Office Arsulescu highly enough. They have been instrumental in facilitating our immigration to Romania and in establishing our business here.

The entire office is committed to excellence and it shows in their swift and accurate handling of our cases. If you are seeking a top-notch attorney in Romania, look no further than Law Office Arsulescu. They are simply the best!
Bogdan and his team are an incredible asset for anyone looking to be well informed regarding the avenues for immigration in Romania. They have personally helped me assess my possibilities and given me great counsel that has empowered me to make well informed decisions. In addition, and most importantly, they have helped my family work out their immigration difficulties when no one else was able or willing to!! They worked diligently and passionately to not only prevent my family from being deported, but also to finally be able to have a legal presence in the country. I highly recommend this law office!
What a fantastic help Bogdan and Cosmin have been! Their knowledge and proficiency in the law enabled us to achieve positive results at our last round of meetings with the immigration office. They went above and beyond their call by traveling long distances to represent us before the officials. They fought to overturn adverse decisions made by the courts that would affect our stay in Romania. They genuinely fought for us and spared no hardship to bring us success at very fair prices and high professionalism. I highly recommend this law firm.
Law Office Arsulescu was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to support me in my case. Their team is truly dedicated to providing excellent service, making me feeling confident that my case was in the best possible hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal assistance in Romania.
Exceptional Legal Support – Seamless Experience from Abroad: As a Canadian citizen planning a move to Romania, I had the pleasure of working with Bogdan Arsulescu and his team at the Law Office ARSULESCU. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Bogdan assisted with incorporating my business in Bucharest and obtaining residency permits for my wife and me—all handled with professionalism, care, and efficiency. He made complex legal procedures feel simple, guiding us through every step with clarity and confidence. As newcomers, we had many questions, and Bogdan was always patient, informative, and dependable. Beyond being an excellent lawyer, he became a trusted advisor. We’re truly grateful to Bogdan, Cosmin, and the team, and we highly recommend their services for company formation, immigration, and legal matters in Romania. Outstanding service—thank you, Bogdan!
I can’t say enough about this group! They are made up of highly skilled, determined, and thoughtful professionals who were able to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Their ability to manage complex legal matters and advocate successfully for clients stands out compared to other firms in Romania. Not to mention, their pricing is also very fair which is rare with such attention to detail!
I am an American doing business in Romania frequently. During the time period that Romania was admitted into Shenghen, my family and I experienced an inadvertent overstay. This law firm helped us resolve all of our issues in a cost-effective and time efficient manner. They are smart, tenacious, and thoughtful people. I would highly recommend them to any Americans or Canadians that are seeking residency in Romania. They will get things right the first time and their pricing is conservative when you take into account how good they are at their jobs. I highly recommend their services. Their ability to comprehend highly complex situations and then advocate within the law for their clients is unmatched in my experience with other groups in Romania!
Bogdan and his team have been instrumental in renewing my Romanian passport and obtaining passports for my children. They are the best partner anyone can hope for when needing assistance with immigration matters in Romania.
Professional, on-task, affordable law services! We researched many firms before we encountered Arsulescu law firm. We planned to start a local business in Romania and also wanted to have a reliable and independent law firm to hand off our projects's legal tasks.

I found Arsulescu law by online search. Came highly recommended. My late wife and I were lost with immigration and procedures. When we went to see Bogdan and Cosmin we felt at ease from the first meeting. Paperwork and documents are a nightmare here. They just took it out of our hands. We took the family route and got married. Took a lot of work but between us we pulled it off. And I got temp residence. Sadly my wife passed away and I was to be honest heartbroken and lost. I went to see Bogdan and cosmin. They showed such empathy and compassion to me. As we had kind of become clients and friends, that's how they make you feel. Again they did everything for me document wise and with me getting a voluntary job. I now have residence while I decide my future. The law firm goes above and beyond what you expect from solicitors. They are in mine and was also my wife's eyes the best . If you need help on immigration look no further. You most certainly won't be disappointed.
Compassionate, comunicative, willing to listen, creative and punctual - professional. Good judgment and knowledge of law. Always available to answer with patience to my questions. Constantly strives to further educate himself and improve his research, preparation and court room techniques.I am pleased to recommend Bogdan.

Case Studies

Transcribing a Marriage and Two Foreign Birth Certificates: Romanian Passports for Both Children
A Romanian citizen married abroad, mother of two children born outside the country, needed the family's civil status registered in Romania. We coordinated three interdependent transcriptions in the right order, and both children received Romanian passports.

Fine Paid Into the Wrong Budget Account: Romanian Tax Enforcement Annulled on Appeal
A company paid half the fine within 48 hours, but into the local council's account instead of the state budget. The tax authority enforced the full amount and the first court dismissed the challenge. On appeal we had every enforcement act annulled, enforcement reversed and costs awarded against the authority.

Transcribing a Birth Certificate After Romanian Citizenship Was Acquired by Descent
A citizen of a foreign state acquired Romanian citizenship by descent under article 11 of Law no. 21/1991. Until the birth certificate is transcribed into the Romanian registers, that citizenship has no practical effect. We prepared the full file and the transcription was completed within the 30-day statutory deadline.

Name Change Abroad and Marriage Transcription: a Romanian Passport Obtained Without Travelling
A Romanian citizen living abroad for decades had changed her forename administratively and married there, with neither event recorded in the Romanian registers. We obtained the forename annotation and the marriage transcription within 30 days, and she received her Romanian passport.

Default Interest of 1% Per Day Struck Down as an Unfair Term in a Non-Bank Credit Agreement
A RON 2,500 loan from a non-bank lender turned into enforcement for RON 5,655, carrying default interest of 1% per day. We obtained a declaration that the default interest clause and the file-analysis fee were void, together with partial annulment of the enforcement acts.

Childcare Allowance for a Mother Working in Romania and Living in Belgium
Our client worked remotely for a Romanian employer and paid all her contributions here, but lived with her family in Belgium. The authority stalled the file over its cross-border element. We showed Romania was the competent state and the allowance was granted.

Romanian Citizenship by Descent: Tracing the Ancestors' Records and Why Reacquisition Was Not Needed
The client wanted to start the process for Romanian citizenship but did not know where his ancestors were born and had none of their records. We traced the documents through the competent authorities, and the analysis showed the route was transcription, not reacquisition.

Family Reunification Visa Refused Three Times: the Refusal Overturned Administratively in Under Two Months
Our client had received three successive refusals of a long-stay family reunification visa. An earlier court win did not help, because the visa issued had expired by the time he reached the border. We challenged the last refusal administratively and the visa was granted in under two months.
