"About 30 years ago I left Peru and started a new life in the U.S. I currently live in New Jersey, while my ex-wife lives in Jesús María, Lima. After so many years apart, we decided to do a mutual agreement divorce. Dr. Miranda guided us from the beginning, prepared my consular power of attorney, represented me in Peru, and kept me informed of every step. Everything was done legally and smoothly, and our divorce was finalized without any issues."

L'avvocato Miranda ci ha seguiti con professionalità, preparando l'accordo di conciliazione e tutti i documenti. In pochi mesi tutto si è concluso in modo legale e tranquillo."
