There is a mutual respect and trust between us, that we find very important. I would also like to highlight their huge working capacity, and their skills in foreign languages.’

We have worked with Zoltán for about a decade, and from the beginning he impressed us with his precision and endless curiosity to understand all the relevant facts and aspects of the case (beside the legal ones).'
