Didn't expect so smooth and quick
Didn’t expect the process to be so smooth and quick. From start date to getting the refund in my account it took just 6 weeks. Johannes was excellent to work with. All the communication was always prompt and transparent. No hidden fees or delay in transferring the payment. They also used wise for international money transfer which saved a lot of money compared to the standard bank fees. Highly recommend their service.

Do not use any other company!
Great company that will successfully retrieve your pension refund with only a few forms to fill out. The process can be scary because you sign over power of attorney to the law firm. However Johannes explained the whole process and it was clear they are a legitimate company that will not just keep all of your refund. It was a long process for me because of my situation but Johannes took care of everything and answered all my emails immediately. Do not use any other law firm, they take the least amount of commission and do all of the work!!! Thanks Johannes!!!
