Asylum Seekers Lawyers
ASYLUM IN GREECE Legal Consultants is a specialist refugee law firm based in Athens centre. We help individuals and groups dealing with the full spectre of refugee and asylum issues as well as immigration issues.

Human Rights. Asylum & Immigration.
At ASYLUM IN GREECE Legal Consultants, our team of lawyers provides specialist advice and legal assistance for international protection. We have been committed to assisting asylum seekers since the formation of the firm and have acted in several high profile cases. We strive to provide a legal advice service that is both sensitive to the plight our clients find themselves in and responsive to the latest rule changes in this fast-changing area of law.
Our experience in Human Rights and asylum work, including handling cases of extreme complexity, means that we continue to receive many enquiries from clients seeking international protection and legal representation. We also have a great deal of experience representing clients in protection and asylum appeals cases when their claims have been refused.

Personal Representation
Our high level of Lawyer rank means that, in the event of an appeal, our team will often personally represent you in court without passing your case to an external barrister. This means you have a single point of contact throughout your case with a lawyer who is familiar with every aspect of your claim. This provides a sense of continuity and reduces the stress that is often associated with court appearances.
