Service Details

Fraud, Theft, Forgery etc

This service is available across Spain

Who Is This Service For?

This service is essential for individuals, especially foreign nationals, who are facing accusations of theft or fraud in Spain, such as shoplifting, credit card fraud, insurance fraud or internet fraud. 

Those who are unfamiliar with the Spanish legal system and language will find this service particularly beneficial. 

It ensures clear communication and understanding of their legal situation, solving the problem of language barriers and complexities of foreign legal systems.

Procedure

The procedure involves an initial consultation to understand the specifics of the case, followed by an in-depth investigation to gather all necessary evidence and formulate a robust defence strategy. 

The legal team will then represent the client in court, challenging the prosecution's evidence and presenting counter-evidence to defend the client's rights and interests. 

Throughout the process, the client will be kept informed and involved in decision-making.

Benefits

  • Choosing an experienced English-speaking lawyer in Spain offers numerous benefits, especially for those unfamiliar with Spanish legal systems and language:
  • Clear communication is ensured, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and ensuring that clients are fully aware of their legal standing and options. 
  • Clients receive personalized attention and advice - from experienced English-speaking criminal defence lawyers - tailored to their unique situation, enabling them to navigate the legal system confidently and effectively. 
  • Assistance from an experienced lawyer can significantly impact the outcome, possibly leading to reduced penalties or even case dismissal. 
  • Foreign nationals, in particular, can face difficulties during the police investigation phase. Having a lawyer assist during this time can alleviate these issues, ensuring proper representation and protection of rights from the onset of legal proceedings.

What does this service consist of?

  • Initial Consultation: Understanding the client's situation, charges, and specific needs.
  • Case Review: Detailed examination of the case to identify strengths and weaknesses.
  • Evidence Collection: Gathering all necessary documents, witness statements, and other relevant information.
  • Strategy Formulation: Developing a robust defense strategy based on the available evidence.
  • Court Representation: Defending the client's rights and interests in court, challenging the prosecution's case, and presenting counter-evidence.
  • Updates: Keeping the client informed about the progress of the case and any developments.
  • Final Resolution: Achieving the best possible outcome for the client, whether it's case dismissal, reduced charges, or minimized penalties.

Customer Reviews

Ruslan Bekukh Nov, 08 2022

This summer, my client Albert had a problem with the Catalan Bank Caixa - his mortgage account was blocked, and he lost the ability to pay mortgage instalments.

As a lawyer from Russia, I couldn't solve this problem on my own and turned to lawyers from AA. Maria was the first to respond, and I concluded an agreement with her on providing legal assistance to my client.

As a result, this problem was solved thanks to the highest professionalism and outstanding perseverance of Maria. Both my client Albert and I are completely satisfied with the quality of her work and are deeply grateful to her.

And if in the future I need legal assistance in Spain, I will definitely turn to Maria. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Carole Coke-Glass Mar, 29 2022

Francisca was totally professional and extremely responsive in her understanding and actions, a very effective communicator, with fluent English, and the ability to explain and gain feedback to ensure that we understood each step of the process, the service provided and expectations from her clients.

Francisca remained empathic and provided clear guidance throughout the process. We were made to feel valued and our opinions and thoughts were listened to with patience and care, particularly, as we had never endeavoured to buy a property aboard before and we do not speak Spanish.

Francisca was able to see our point of view, as we ventured into new territory. Her support ensured that we felt confident and in control throughout the purchasing process. Francisca was always open and approachable, and always responded to queries and returned our calls without delay. We cannot praise her hard work enough and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a property aboard.

Although always professional, the relationship made as feel that we were dealing with a good friend and it was more just a transactional relationship, Francisca displayed emotional intelligence throughout the whole process.

David Stack, Valencia Jan, 11 2021

Francisca has always been very helpful and professional and has gone out of her way to assist me. All very good!

Christopher Horne, Puçol Oct, 02 2020

I both purchased and sold a property in Spain utilising Francisca's services in both instances. I felt it was essential to use a lawyer as I am from the UK and this was my first experience of buying and selling in Spain and the system, process and tax requirements are very different and I wanted someone experienced and professional to oversee everything and 'hold my hand' through the process.
It seems that most Spaniards do not utilise a lawyer or use an independent property surveyor and the inmobiliaria/estate agent does a huge amount of additional work compared to what they do back home. This combined with the arras (deposit of thousands of Euros paid directly to the seller to 'secure' the property and take it off the market) made me nervous as it was so different to what I was used to in the UK - in some ways it's a lot better system.
Like most reading this review, I did a huge amount of internet research when looking for property to buy in Spain and from experience have found that there are many companies set up by Brits and other non-Spaniards that are looking to take advantage of first time buyers from their native countries by putting up flashy websites and charging exorbitant fees - without exception I found that the Spanish inmobiliaria/estate agent, lawyers, etc. were far more professional, hard working and able to get things done at a fair price. The challenge is, if like me, your Spanish language skills are poor to non-existent - my advice to you is to get used to using both Google Translate and WhatsApp on your mobile phone with a data package that works in Spain as these came to my rescue on multiple occasions and are invaluable.
Francisca's services through both the buying and selling process of my property were exemplary and professional at all times, her fees fair, her communication swift and her level of integrity beyond doubt. Some of Francisca's greatest non-lawyer strengths are her ability to empathise with a non-Spaniard buying property for the fist time in Spain, communicate the system clearly, set the necessary appointments / provide clear directions and generally 'hold your hand' through the process and sooth your nerves when necessary.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Francisca to anyone requiring the legal services (not just buying/selling property) of a lawyer in Spain and will certainly approach her again should I need such services again. It is rare to find a professional of this level of integrity in any industry or country.
We need more clones of Francisca across Spain! :-). From my experience, her services and professionalism cannot be improved upon.

Peter Marsh, Gandia Aug, 07 2019

In all departments Francisca was outstanding in every case!

Mark Fairley, Gandia Apr, 30 2019

Francisca was extremely professional, great communication throughout the purchasing process.

Phoned or emailed me to keep me updated and worked to a good timescale for completion. Prepared well for the notary and simplified the answers on any questions or issues that occurred.

I would highly recommend Francisca for anyone from the U.K wishing to purchase property in Spain.

She takes away any stress or fear that can happen from entering the unknown legal practice in Spain. I would definitely use Francisca again for legal service, on any future issue or purchasing of property.

She provided good value for service and would be a future person to go to, for any expat in the Spanish community.

Wayne, Valencia Mar, 16 2019

Our lawyer, Inma did a great job with helping us solve a purchase we made with a dishonest car dealer in Spain.

She was very honest with us from the start, always responded on time, and dealt with a very difficult character on the other party and managed to close the case with success.

We highly recommend this service! [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Noreen Murphy Mar, 18 2022

Amazing service. Would recommend to everyone.

Annemarie Bissett Mar, 11 2022

Inma was a pleasure to deal with, she was available by email and by WhatsApp and she answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. She was happy to deal with our estate agent, the other solicitor, the bank and the notary in our behalf and went above her duties to help with other things like with the community of owners in our urbanisation.

She gave a clear breakdown of costs, which helped with our budgeting, she was friendly and met us personally when we came to Spain to make sure all of our questions were answered before we began our purchase!

I would have no hesitation in using her services again for any legal matter in Spain. Inma was professional, friendly, extremely thorough during our purchase process, always contactable and explained the whole process to myself and my husband patiently and in excellent English ( las we don’t speak any Spanish at all). 5 star service!

Inma was very helpful and easy to deal with. We only requested Inma's assistance with completing Spanish Will's but Inma also went to the trouble to find out some information regarding university entrance for our daughters and whether or not Brexit had any impact. She has also put me in touch with a tax adviser in relation to my business in Spain.

Stephen Kelly, Murcia City Oct, 27 2021

Inma tried very hard to resolve our situation and I can only commend her professionalism in a difficult situation. She was very sympathetic and determined to obtain a resolution.

We have no hesitation in recommending her for legal assistance and will use her services again, if the need arises.

Jeff Lunn, Murcia City Jul, 01 2021

Inma was very helpful and explained everything to me carefully in English, which was very much appreciated, as we only have a very basic grasp of Spanish.

She worked with an engineer to look at our project for a small campsite and we were very impressed with the service provided, and we are only sorry that we couldn't proceed with our plans at this time.

However if we do decide to go ahead I would have no hesitation in contacting Inma again, or indeed for any other legal advice or help.

Inma was a 'Godsend' in moving us through the minefield that is the process of residency applications...mine as a European citizen was fast and very easy, but my wife's application as a UK citizen was complex & very precise.

However, with Inma's help & expertise it was completed.

Geraldine Munnelly Mar, 06 2022

Inma helped me to buy a property in the Valencia region. I could not have had someone more trustworthy and helpful. Her English is totally fluent and she had no problem taking the time to read through all the documents and explain everything to me.

I had many questions as it was my first property purchase and she always took the time to explain. She double checked things that didn't seem right which ended up saving me a lot of money, extra work that she noticed and argued for me to save me money.

I am so grateful to her for making this process so much easier and having someone I could trust. I would highly recommend anyone buying in this area to work with her. :) [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Jose helped us through every part of the process with speed and efficiency. Because he spoke perfect English he explained everything so that we understood what we were doing. He cleared the way and prepared every part of the process, so there were no hold-ups.

His friendly attitude made us very comfortable and his professional approach made both the purchase and sale of the property smooth and easy. He gave very good value for money and nothing was too much trouble.

Geraldine Walduck Jul, 11 2022

I cannot recommend too highly, my lawyer Jose. He is the ultimate professional on every level. An excellent communicator. A lovely, approachable gentleman who is extremely knowledgeable about law.

Lawyer Jose Antonio worked on my case. He is very calm, professional and easy to approach, cares about his client. He worked on my case divorcing a Spanish national, which I thought would take forever because I had tried before and failed with a different lawyer.

He was straight forward, told me what I had to do and I was divorced in a short time. I will forever be grateful because he saved my life. I’m so glad I reached out to Advocate and they recommended the right lawyer. I recommend him 100%. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

José was very easy to contact, by email and phone; he kept me updated whenever anything changed or progress was made. He reassured me many times and was very understanding, which really helped as I was obviously very worried about the situation.

I found Jose to be very approachable and kind, knowledgeable as well and explained everything whenever I had questions (even if they were probably very silly!).  Jose also I think was really good value for the level of service he provided.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending him, or using him again, although I sincerely hope I never need to! Definitely great at his job!

Susanne Taheri, Alicante Mar, 25 2021

Customer Reviews

Marco Bruschi May, 03 2023

I needed a lawyer since I got in trouble with getting a money refund after cancelling a car reservation due to fraudulent information posted on the internet by the car dealer. I then contacted Advocate Abroad and my case was followed by Maria, one of the lawyers of the team.

Thanks to her action I was able to get back in few days a relevant part of the money and this I consider an absolute success. When dealing with Maria I built the strong opinion that she is a smart, excellent and reliable professional, coming quickly to the point of the matter.

I would absolutely recommend her and Advocate Abroad in the future to friends who could need legal support in Spain, and I would myself contact them again in case of need. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Thank you, Maria, for the great work and I wish you best of luck and success in your professional endeavors.

Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was contacted and given an appointment. In our very first meeting, it was apparent that Maria is not only knowledgeable and professional, but she is obviously a very caring person.

For the first time in several months of dealing with my Residencia problem, I felt relaxed and positive that she would be successful. She kept me informed on every issue and what to expect. I cannot properly express the relief I had when she informed me that my application was approved, and stayed in contact right up to the day I received my new TIE card.

Thank you for connecting me with Maria. You are very lucky to have her on your team.

Rafael went out of his way to assist us with numerous immigration-related procedures over the course of the last year. He helped us interpret the rules and regulations, which were often available only in Spanish, and helped us with the requisite interviews at the Foreigners’ Office in Seville.

We had a good service from Raffaele. He was in a tricky position in obtaining timely information from other professionals and the Covid 19 situation made things take longer.

However he kept trying. Also he set a price and stuck to it even though the job was more involved than originally thought. I thought that the fee we paid was fair/good value.

His level of communication with us was good.

Raffaele assisted me with numerous time sensitive legal issues in regards to my residency status in Spain post-Brexit. Not only did he succeed at fixing every issue I presented to him, he also did it all in a timely manner and at a very reasonable cost.

His flexibility in handling legal matters is impressive, and was made even more impressive to have completed it all during this Covid-19 era where normal meetings/ appointments are incredibly hard to organise.

I would recommend him to any of my friends and colleagues, and will seek his legal advice in future matters should it be needed.

Raffaele got in touch very fast, listened carefully and was very supportive of the matter. Thank you !

Suzanne Frankling, Sabadell Oct, 28 2020

Raffaele was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. He is also very friendly and his manner puts you at ease straight away. Yes I would use him again and in fact my sister uses his legal services as well.

If you need a lawyer who speaks fluent English and Spanish (and Italian) and works on your legal matters professionally and without delay, then I strongly recommend contacting Raffaele.

Very relaxed and not uptight. All very good.

Glenn Humphreys, Barcelona Jun, 02 2020

Raffaele was responsive, understanding and polite.

He provided excellent value for money, explaining and providing appropriate solutions in a professional manner all the while ensuring technicalities and possible outcomes were understood.

Rosa has always been very helpful and is quick to respond to email queries providing a professional and very approachable service.

Pamela Rowe Nov, 03 2022

Everybody involved from Rosa to the notario Antonio Roca Araño couldn't be faulted. I was truly surprised at the total cost and thought it would be a lot more. Everybody was very kind and Antonio went out of his way to make me at ease under a stressful situation. I have used Rosa on previous occasions and have always received the utmost attention, she knows just when to put on her professional "face" and also when to be kind and considerate.

I worked with Rosa on obtaining a background check from Spain, and she could not have been more helpful.

Marcus Smart May, 30 2022

Rosa has been absolutely great. I've never had such good service. Rosa understood my needs, my situation and my concerns and clearly guided me through the whole process of punching a home abroad.

Rosa was very professional, she responded to any concerns I had rapidly, all times of the day.

I went on to do additional purchases and legal work with Rosa and seriously cannot fault the services she provided.

Alexandra Thorsen May, 26 2022

Rosa was always timely and extremely thorough with her responses, which I really appreciated.

It was easy going through the process with her, and she made the whole process stress-free.

She was amazing. Every question quickly answered.

My husband found this service after we tried several times to obtain an appointment to get my NIE, the lawyer in charge was Rosa and since we started to work with her the process to get my NIE became smooth and easy.

Everything was clear, transparent and organised. I fully recommend working with them. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Rosa contacted me the very next working day and was so helpful. Had my matter that i'd been so worried about resolved in a couple of days. Thank you!

Peter Eriksson Apr, 10 2022

It’s been a very long nerve wrecking process but that’s for the court to get better at. Half the trauma for me has been the wait and not been able to move on. Very tough.

I appreciate Rosa very much in every respect.
