A Note from Counsel

Navigating Bulgarian, EU and US law
with confidence.

At the crossroads of Bulgarian & EU law and US immigration, I help clients navigate cross-border family matters in English, Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian.

I am Anna Popova, an attorney with eighteen years at the Sofia Bar Association. Holding a Master of International Relations and EU and an LL.M. from Chicago-Kent College of Law, I built this practice on a simple belief: everyone deserves access to justice, no matter where they come from.

As a licensed attorney in Bulgaria and a Foreign Legal Consultant with the Florida Bar Association ISL, I specialise in international law, international criminal law, immigration and human rights — working alongside a high-ranked team to protect your rights across jurisdictions. My role as a pathfinder for an international initiative against violence in all forms underscores my commitment to safer communities and clearer relations between people. I have also successfully argued precedent cases before the European Court of Human Rights, since cited as guidelines in the ECHR handbook.

In collaboration with top-ranked international and US law firms, I have achieved positive outcomes in a range of international matters, including those involving sanctions. My experience extends to delicate matters of dual citizenship, parental abduction cases and domestic violence. For individuals in the United States and abroad, I obtain necessary documentation from Bulgarian institutions, including Power of Attorney services.
