    The adjective must have an acute accent on the 'i' (jurídica) to match the correct spelling.

    The article 'a' is unnecessary because 'orientação' is already a direct object of the verb pedir.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, it is common to use the formal imperative (Peça) when giving professional advice, especially in written or semi‑formal contexts. Avoid overly casual language like 'pega' or 'vai' when referring to legal matters, as it can sound disrespectful to the seriousness of the issue.
