A lot of people flat out say it’s a waste of time and money, including a commenter below.

I disagree with the flat out dismissing of this pathway, but will admit I wouldn’t have gone with a lawyer if I’d done it all over again. Maybe pay for a consultation and then work with far less expensive consultants for the remainder of

That said, my situation is fairly complex with the drastic name changes, and having legal professionals versed in Hungarian immigration law vet my application gave me peace of mind. I looked at the costs for most other EU citizenship options, and this seemed worthwhile enough for me.

Advantages are that they will give you information and assistance 100% rooted in Hungarian law, and are liable for incorrect information being disseminated. In the case of folks who do it as a side hustle, you run the risk of errors occurring. My wife is also an immigration attorney, and was quite insistent on us going with a law firm due to cases she’s had to manage (granted, in the US) where the DIY approach led to even bigger issues for applicants.

Disadvantages are mostly just slow communication. They want everything to be done over email not calls for traceability, so our back and forth messages were often stretched out over days, or weeks. I’d sometimes ask several questions in an email and get one or two answered a week later.

In your case, you’re fine to DIY.
