Lawyer in Pilsen — Parental Child Abduction

If the parent liable for maintenance is connected to Pilsen, the claim can be pursued through EU cross-border cooperation between central authorities, without necessarily starting a new case from scratch.
Lawyer in Pilsen — Deceased Connected to the Czech Republic

Lawyer in Pilsen — Inheriting Property in the Czech Republic
Even though the succession as a whole may follow foreign law, transferring ownership of property located in Pilsen still requires the Czech land registry's own procedure.
