Non-Payment of Child Maintenance in Spain

Found Álvaro excellent at responding to emails, messages or calls. I didn't have to wait at all.

He was very helpful throughout the proceedings and would highly recommend him to other people.

I had tried to instruct another solicitor to deal with my case. Not helpful, kept fobbing me off. That’s when I turned to Advocate Abroad.

Within a very short space of time, couple of hours, Alvaro contacted me. I explained the situation and he immediately said ‘No problems’ True to his word it was for me NO PROBLEMS.

His communication was always by return, even on a Red Day, which I had completely forgotten about.

He explained everything as we went along. Definitely highly recommended, I have recommended Alvaro to a colleague who is looking to purchase a property in Spain.

Álvaro personally rang me literally minutes after my online enquiry. I explained my ongoing problems.

He immediately put my mind at rest and explained how he could resolve it. And resolve it he did. Keeping me informed throughout. I am absolutely delighted with his service.

Alvaro’s response to my enquiry was very swift and understood extremely well what i requested.

Advocate abroad were quick to reply to my messages and basically did what they said they would with no fuss.

Alvaro was extremely helpful and patient. He replied promptly to my emails and explained things clearly whenever I needed further information.

The service was good value for money and I would highly recommend Alvaro and Advocate Abroad.

Everything explained very well, friendly yet professional. Excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend Alvaro.

Thank you for all your help, you were there and helped me within 2 hours.

And for continuing helping me with a very complicated case and always available for any questions or needs.

Álvaro was incredible to work with. His responsiveness was lightening fast, and he was extremely competent and helpful. Alvaro was also friendly, patient and explained things very thoroughly, so I understood what was happening throughout the process.

Alvaro was beyond professional and went above and beyond in his work. I was surprised by how reasonable his rates were, especially because he was so excellent.

I would definitely recommend Alvaro without hesitation. He is an asset to the company.

Álvaro was exceptionally helpful and we shall continue to work with him in the future. Highly recommended. Excellent English (fluent). Extremely polite and professional.

Alvaro did an excellent job, I wished I’d used him for my divorce! I will definitely now only use him in future.

Completed in 10 days. Brilliant service!!

Álvaro was extremely pleasant and helpful, professional, prompt and efficient.

We feel that we have somebody in Álvaro that we can turn to in times of legal difficulty.

The Spanish court system has been slow, but Álvaro has successfully pursued my case for about three years now and has won a judgement in my favor. We still have uncertainty as to the final outcome given that the judgement is in the appeal period, and we still need to collect the funds owed to me.

So far I have been very satisfied with Álvaro's work.

Beatriz was efficient, informative and trustworthy, and we highly recommend her.

Beatriz is highly professional, always very helpful, extremely responsive and easy to deal with.

Beatriz is always willing to help - nothing is too much trouble for her.

If I leave a message she always get back to us within 24 hours.

She is very professional very kind. Would recommend her services to anyone.

Beatriz was very professional but friendly. She explained everything clearly and I wouldn't hesitate in using her services again in the future.

Beatriz has been wonderful to deal with she is very approachable and always professional and I would certainly recommend her to friends.

When my circumstances changed Beatriz was extremely helpful and explained fully the action needed and the process required. I have communicated via email to her and she has always responded promptly and when I have visited her office she has always been very welcoming.

Her english is excellent and she has always let me know the costs upfront of any work she has done.

Beatriz has been extremely helpful all through the process of buying our apartment.

We had some serious challenges in the beginning with the first apartment we wanted to buy and Beatriz went more than all the way to help - we felt so secure in her hands, and still do.

We will continue to use her service and promote her to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Beatriz was recommended to us by a very good (Danish) friend in Spain and was he right :-) So we give her our best recommendation.

Absolutely spot on service, very impressed!

Clear information throughout, well explained and always had my confidence.

Beatriz was extremely professional and provided an expert service. She understood our requirements, was very approachable and responded to all questions quickly.

She explained the differences in legal requirements between the UK and Spain clearly and helped us to understand them. We would highly recommend Beatriz for any legal services.

We can't think of anything we would like to see improved about the service we received from Beatriz and would have no hesitation in contacting her again if we required any further information.

Beatriz has always been friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the service to friends.

Beatriz was really helpful and always kept me informed at all stages. She is very professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Beatriz was professional and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Very satisfied with the service provided by Beatriz.

She extremely helpful and spoke more or less fluent English. We would definitely recommend her to friends.

Béatriz responded quickly to any queries I raised, with easily comprehensible answers.

Her fee was very reasonable and she proved to be a very personable and approachable person when we finally met at the Notary.

I received a service from Consuelo, she was very helpful and prompt. She came back to me quickly when I asked a question and I am satisfied over all with the service she provided.

Consuelo provided an excellent service. Consuelo and her team were very responsive to our needs and helped us through any difficulties that arose, providing a very professional service.

I would highly recommend her to my friends and colleagues.

Consuelo was extremely helpful in navigating the difficulties the residency system. She was always available to fully and comprehensively answer any questions we had, and held our hand through every step of the long process. It is hard to see how she could have done more to help us understand and alleviate any fears or concerns we had.

We will be using Consuelo for any other services we need as I don't think any other company could be more patient and supportive, and we would recommend her to anyone who needs to navigate the residency or visa system. We were very lucky to get such a first-class service from an excellent professional.

Consuelo was able to carry out my instructions in a very professional way and communicated updates throughout the process.

I would use Advocate Abroad again.

Consuelo was always available and very responsive to requests and work needing to be done. She dealt with all work in a very efficient way and provided good solutions to all queries raised by the Authorities.

Consuelo always went that little bit further to ensure all our requirements were completed within the timescales set by the Spanish Authorities. Consuelo was extremely professional and it was a great relief to me to use her services as she removed all the stress and anxiety elements from the process and I was completely confident in her abilities to deliver and would recommend her without hesitation 5 stars service.

Consuelo was fantastic throughout the process of applying for Spanish residency.

She was always a phone call or a WhatsApp away whenever I had any queries. She went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly.

I would highly recommend Consuelo if you are looking for a solicitor

Very responsive, got back to me promptly, answered all my questions thoroughly.

I definitely recommend Consuelo. Very professional, reliable, did the job with trust and confidence.

English speaking and found her very helpful quickly responding to emails, phone calls. No hassle with the work. I really appreciate her work. I will definitely recommend Consuelo as I bought property and her job was done on time without any difficulties.

Best of luck ,I will rate her work to 5 star!

My case was handled very professionally. It was a delicate matter and I knew I was in a safe understanding pair of hands. I would definitely recommend this solicitor , efficient and no problems with the language. Well done great result!

Consuelo made everything so straightforward and was always available to answer my questions. She was perfect.

Thank you for the opportunity of giving me to provide feedback about Consuelo, who is a talented and capable lawyer who submitted my Residency application on 31st December a day before Brexit as a British citizen.

My residency was granted kindly by Spanish Authorities on 5th February and despite lack of available appointments, she managed to make an appointment for fingerprints on 5th March and now I am waiting for my TIE card .

I’ll be always grateful for the kind and professional help of Consuelo for helping me through the process and will definitely recommend her to any client. Many thanks!

I had a direct phone call from Consuelo , within 24 hours of my first email contact . Was very clear and explained the next stages really well over the telephone.

The continued emails , were consistent and very helpful . Consuelo dealt with all the stages with a efficient process , that has made the application for the Tourist Licence for my property in Spain very easy. Her persistence with getting the Guardia Civil to issue passwords was impressive , for me to upload information to them as required by law in Spain.

Thank you Regards Brenda Killigrew

Consuelo explained and took care of everything. She is easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to deal with.

Having to deal with Spanish probate laws and procedures was overwhelming but Consuelo made it so straight forward.

We had a legal problem in Spain and the allocated solicitor, Consuelo, helped us solve the issue. Right from the beginning she was extremely professional and understanding of our needs. It was obvious that she knew exactly what was required.

We felt completely at ease and presented very knowledgeable in respect of legal procedures. I would highly recommend the Advocate Abroad service to anyone in a tight spot in need of legal help.

In terms of what could have been improved, maybe time from initial phone call requesting service to client contact could be a bit quicker, but that's the only thing.

Domingo is a reliable, competent and friendly guy. He has done all we have asked of him without any issues whatsoever.
We would recommend him instantly to our friends and neighbours.

He was the utmost Professional. And I would recommend him to anyone.

Friendly and professional service of the highest standard. Good value for money, flexible and dealt with matters both in the UK and Gran Canaria in a timely and pragmatic way. Would definitely recommend this business and Domingo in particular.

A highly professional lawyer who carried out the task set by ourselves to a very high standard indeed. He was polite, helpful and knew his business perfectly.

I will be using him again and will be recommending his services to friends and acquaintances alike, with the knowledge he will do a great service for them.

Domingo provided an excellent service on this matter and I was very pleased that I had found him through your website.

I definitely use the same lawyer again in the future.

Domingo has great empathy, and works hard with great understanding of your needs.

I contacted Advocate Abroad to help me with a legal problem and within just a few minutes Domingo contacted me.

He immediately told me what I needed to do and what would happen. He was very efficient, professional and non-judgemental at all times. Furthermore, he did everything possible to help me.

He was a gentleman.

Excellent service. Very professional. Answers any questions in very fast response time.

Would highly recommend Domingo.

Esther is bilingual and very helpful. Very satisfied with the service.

Gave informed advice.. Described different options and gave indications of costs for these options. Very professional.

Very informative and clear.

I was looking for advice about the legal method of splitting the common costs among the owners of a compound. Her advice was very helpful during the owners meeting that I had this afternoon.

We had excellent service from Esther at Advocate Abroad when buying a property in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

Esther speaks both Spanish and English, and is very friendly, professional and genuine. She took care of the whole purchasing process and explained all the steps for us, including giving advice on Spanish bank account, NIE numbers etc.

We are very pleased with all the help we have received and can highly recommend Esther. Thank you so much!

Esther was very friendly and approachable. She was professional and answered any questions I asked. We would definitely use her again in the future.

Esther is informative and extremely helpful and above all very professional.

I would definitely use the same lawyer again in the future.

Very responsive, efficient, patient when there were postal issues delivering documents.

Federico was helpful, friendly and efficient. The services were reasonably priced, and I received the advice and solutions I needed.

I was satisfied with all of services above. Especially his responses so good.

Very professional, very fast. Saved our company $5200 usd in possible losses.

Frederico contacted me promptly and was extremely helpful.

Federico replied to my request immediately, he was extremly helpful and solved the issue without hesitation

My lawyer was very pleasant and helpful

Federico was brilliant. He advised me and took action immediately. His communication was always helpful, clear and timely.

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

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.

In all departments Francisca was outstanding in every case!

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.

Francisca was very informative and helpful. She handled my divorce professionally and made it easy for me throughout the process.

Highly recommend and reasonable fees. Thank you, Francisca!

Francisca was very informative and attentive to all of my inquiries and concerns. I would definitely be going back to her if needing her services again and would recommend her brilliant services.

Francisca is a first-class Professional ' puts u at ease.

100% up to date and reliable.  I would not consider using anyone else.

Francisca was extremely helpful. We especially appreciated the clarity and sensitivity to our situation.

Francisca provided a perfect service!

She is professional, dedicated and took care to understand the needs of my situation. Her service offers exceptional value for money and gives complete peace of mind.

We found Francisca extremely helpful with a great amount of knowledge about buying a house and re-locating to Spain.

My lawyer Francisca offered value for money and was very helpful. Will use her again.

Francisca was extremely helpful. She made the whole process easy to understand. I would definitely recommend her service to friends.

Excellent work, big effort and responsibility. High professionality and skills (thank you, Francisca), and in every time willingness to answer all my questions. I fully recommend! Now I am a happy owner of property in Spain:) [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

My wife and I recently purchased a house in Spain. Initially there were significant issues with the deeds and later problems with the Bank Transfers, however Francisca of AA skilfully and successfully steered us through these problems, reassuring us at each stage, minimising our stress levels and easing our burden. [View all G o o g l e Reviews]

Francisco is a very passionate individual that takes his position very seriously. I am so incredibly pleased that I was able to find him to help me and that he spoke English as well.

Francisco was and is truly a good man, a good lawyer and a very knowledgeable and personable man. I look forward to enlisting his services in the future. Kind regards to Francisco.

Francisco was very helpful with our enquiries. His level of English was excellent and we were very satisfied with the level of service we received.

Francisco was very responsive, supportive and understanding.

Unfortunately, I had to use another lawyer who has helped me in another case.

I liked the fact that he stayed in constant contact with me which made the transition much smoother.

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.

Inma is knowledgable, efficient, helpful, approachable, speaks perfect English (with a slight Scottish twang:-) and has a wonderful sense of humour. We cannot recommend her highly enough & we will use her for all of our legal needs in Spain. Thank-you Inma

I would like to express my opinion about Inma.  She is very helpful , understanding and had excellent communication with me during the process

I would like to thank her sooo much as I am very happy and satisfied with her way of sorting out the issue we approached her for

I will recommend her to everyone who needs any lawyer in Spain.

Thus, massive thanks for her great help and support.

Responsible, understanding, good personal contact. Always finding time for us, very kind and helpful.

Inma and her team were very friendly and professional in helping me get NIE number.

I would highly recommend them and hope to do business with them in future.

As much as the probability was against me to gain a successful defence Inma provided the best and most adequate advice required in order to prepare my defence and representation.

Thanks for your help!

I appreciated Inma's ability to explain and provide appropriate solutions.

Fast response, easy going, kind.

I have already referenced them to my friends. They listened, understood what I was asking for help with, were clear with feedback, answering all questions - being bilingual was very helpful to someone just learning the language - then gave me my options & to the point.

Very professional & approachable. They did what they said they would which inspired trust & reliability.

I am very satisfied with the service - recommended!

They understood our needs and were very helpful!

The level of professionalism and approachability was impeccable. Also, Inmaculada’s prompt and thorough communications were greatly appreciated.

I could not have asked for more at such a fair price.

Within hours of contacting Advocate Abroad, Inma was in touch with me.

My case came at a very unexpected and emotional time, however Inma took control of the situation immediately and was the best support I could have hoped for.

She clearly explained each step to me along the way, regularly updated me out of hours and was professional until the end. I felt very safe with my situation in her hands - she really knows her stuff and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.

Inma is a very professional person and has been very helpful to me since the set up of the company and all the way through.

Inmaculada was very professional, very helpful and approachable , easy to communicate , pleasant,and her English is fluent.

Amazing service. Would recommend to everyone.

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!

Brilliant communication, really helpful, approachable, solved my problem and professional.
Would use Inma always!

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.

She helped me lots , and have used her before. Great lawyer, much recommended, thanks again ,and we have on going other jobs

I was extremely pleased with the whole service.

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.

As I didn't know anyone in the area, I found Inma trough the internet search engine. It can be scary to buy a property abroad in current situation without even being able to see it yourself. So I was incredibly lucky to come across Inma who went above and beyond to assist me with every step of the purchase.

Her additional checks and help reassured me that the property is safe to buy. Not knowing the systems in Spain can make the property purchase challenging, therefore it's incredibly important to have the right solicitor. She advised me on everything that needed doing and I am so incredibly grateful for her professional work.

I would recommend Inma 100% to anyone considering using her services and happy to provide further feedback if anyone is not reassured by this.

Couldn’t have asked for better service!

Would not hesitate in recommending this lawyer, who is excellent!

Inma was fantastic! She helped me so much and kept in contact throughout the process. I would and will recommend her and your company to everyone in the future.
I cannot thank you enough!

Lea sherlock x

Inmaculada is just great! I dealt with lawyers in the past but never one so flexible, fast , helpful like her!

She is just amazing, one is in very good hands with Inmaculada!

Inma has been outstanding in her provision of legal services. She has been easy to contact (even during the pandemic), provided excellent advice and resolved my legal issues.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Inma and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other clients.

Inma was very friendly and approachable. She made a real effort to understand my situation and my goals, and provide the best advice possible given the information available.

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.

I have used Jose on several occasions now and I’d happily use him again in the future.

Jose is always very helpful and nothing is a problem. I have used him many times already and will continue to do so.

Jose was always good natured and polite and fully helpful in every respect. I would have no hesitancy in recommending him or to use him again.

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!

Kind and fast replies, good advice and it feels that if I ever need any legal advice in the future I for sure will contact José again.

I am pleased with all contact that I have had .

Jose has provided me with outstanding help and advice over the last ten years.

I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone seeking legal advice in Spain. I have come to regard him as a friend over the period of our acquaintance. His fees are extremely reasonable, and has always replied to my queries within twenty four hours.

I cannot speak more highly of his professionalism and only wish I had been aware of his existence twenty years ago, when I first bought property in Spain.

Jose was always very responsive, understood the problem and clearly explained the costs and benefits of possible solutions and took prompt action to resolve the issue.

1st Class and very professional. A great ambassador for your network.

Confident, articulate, concise & polite. I've used eleven 'abogados' to date, all pale behind Jose. One case I had lasted 12 years ! So I do believe that I know a little concerning the lugubrious trade today. The Best Rise to the Surface.
I'm happy, Thank you.

Jose Antonio is exceptionally professional and methodical in all that he does. He is knowledgeable in all areas of Spanish Law and is always a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

The service provided by Jose is exceptional at all levels.

José was attentive and sympathetic throughout in his dealings with my brother (in Australia) and me (in the UK).

Ours was a problematical case which involved José making contact with a Spanish notary and subsequently applying for NIEs for us and acting Power of Attorney. After this he was involved in protracted negotiations on our behalf with a particularly unhelpful Spanish bank in the matter of inheritance.

He was a calming influence when needed and never less than professional. He kept us fully informed at all times.

Jose understood my needs and was able to do all the things that I needed. He was extremely approachable and did everything necessary.

I understood what he was doing and what was required of me to do. I was also very happy with the price paid.

I Found Jose very professional and knowledgeable regarding my divorce proceedings and would gladly recommend him.

I thought he was very helpful and professional, always responded quickly.

His English is really good and all the instructions I received concerning the signing and returning of documents was very clear.

I would readily recommend him.

This was quite the experience that an expatriate who does not speak the language needs – which made me feel less of a stranger and more like at home.

Maria explained the process and procedure with clarity, and she always kept me well-informed till I got through this eventually.

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.

Maria gave a comprehensive breakdown of what her service entailed, including elaborating on other alternatives.

She was quick on delivery and communicated clearly. Overall, this was a satisfactory service.

Thanks to Maria-Jose's professionalism and very quick reaction, I was able to make very efficiently my arrangements. It was also a pleasure to meet her - a very kind and helpful person.

Her English proficiency impeccable.

Thank you again! Appreciate all the help.

Agata

Maria was fantastic. So glad I found her!

Always there when I needed her, she always called back afterwards, if she was busy with another client.

Excellent service, very quick to explain all procedures and possible outcomes. Once Maria began she was extremely professional and thorough with clear communication at every stage.

The problem was dealt with in a very short time, I could not ask for better or more professional service.

Hello. She was very professional and if I emailed she contacted me back immediately.

She was very helpful and I will use her services again in the future.

Maria is very professional and very helpful. She has helped me with problems caused by another lawyer and. when I confused the time of the appointment, she was very understanding and accommodating in making another appointment.

I would definitely recommend her services to anyone.

Very helpful and responsive.

Would highly recomend to others looking to secure a visa in Spain.

Maria was amazing she explained everything and kept us up to date she is a very professional lady and I will use her again and recommend her

Maria was extremely quick at responding, patient and understanding of my many questions, gave clear easy to understand replies, and went out of her way to help me.

I eventually decided not to proceed with a court case but will definitely be contacting María in the future about other legal issues.

I cannot speak highly enough of the professional level of service afforded to me by Maria-Jose.
The speed of reply to enquiries was excellent as was the advice.
I will, without question utilise the services provided by Maria once again, should I have the requirement for legal assistance within Spain.
Thank you Maria!

Maria was very helpful and sorted my problem within a week, I was very pleased with how much information I was given and the very quick replies to any questions I had.

I’m very happy with the way Maria dealt with everything,I would definitely contact Maria if I ever needed her services again 😃

Miguel helped me buying a property in Pantin, A Coruna.

Miguel is very professional, pro-active, and diligent. He structured the process from beginning to end. He was very helpful in also giving guidance in situations where I had to make decision.

On top of doing important legal research, preparing paperwork and organizing local contractors, he also conducted all negotiations with the seller and bank.

Since I had no prior experience in any of the business we did together, do not speak Spanish and have no knowledge of local customs, all this was absolutely crucial to the success.

Finally, Miguel is a very friendly person and I genuinely enjoyed the interaction.

Miguel is very friendly and always ready to help. Always answers the phone or a message. Very polite and rather reliable!

Miguel could not have been any better, he was instantly responsive with any form of contact whether it be email or WhatsApp he was always there to help and advise.

He is a very calm understanding person with excellent communication skills and very supportive and kind. I highly recommend him, and will always use his services even though I’m now at the other end of Spain.

He is a great person and a highly professional lawyer, he got what I wanted which was not an easy achievement, and considering the huge amount of time he dedicated to my case he is excellent value for money. I am very grateful and thankful to him and all his work.

We were very happy with the service from Miguel. We found him always reliable and professional, always quick to respond, understood what we wanted.

We had some difficulties during the process due to Brexit but he worked his way through them and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We intend to ask him to represent us when we buy a house in Spain

Miguel provided a faultless service throughout the purchase of our property in Oviedo.

Always responsive, providing excellent advice and guidance and prepared to go above and beyond to help us on numerous occasions. I could not recommend him highly enough.

We were very have happy with the level of service provided by Miguel, he went above and beyond to make sure that everything was understood by us and clear.

Using him made us realise that buying aboard was not straight forward and with his help opened doors which we would have struggled with. He was always available to us day and night ( even at weekends) and would respond to any question with either the answer or information of how to get it. He kept us informed at each and ever stage of our purchase. He was a real gentleman and we were very proud and honoured to have met such a lovely man.

He is a great example of how a person in his position should operate with his clients and we can not thank him enough.

Miguel helped our company a lot.

He deeply investigated the contract then provided us a reasonable set of recommendations how to proceed with the counterparty.

The case is going to the end in a couple of weeks, finally he could able to defend our position as much as possible. We will definitely use Miguel for creating future contracts.

I am so satisfied and impressed by the the blend of professionalism and humanity Miguel has shown me. He has earned my complete trust in all matters.

He keeps in contact and replies quickly and even on weekends. Plus has a wonderful feel for his clients as to their needs. I cannot thank him enough for all his help.

I would wholly recommend Miguel to anybody contemplating a house purchase in the Asturias area of Spain. His pricing was competitive and adapted to my particular requirements.

He consulted with other professionals (including the council) to help determine the expansion and future building possibilities of the land. He also undertook the necessary checks to establish there was no outstanding debt tied to the property.

Compared to UK solicitors Miguel was very much more approachable and would always respond to my queries and deliver frequent progress reports at any time of the day including weekends.

Given the complexity of the Spanish notary system it is essential you have a local solicitor who knows all the variations associated with the Asturian conveyancing system to guide you towards a successful outcome.

Even though I had a reasonable understanding of Spanish Miguel's excellent written and spoken English proved invaluable at all stages of the conveyancing process in particular the final signing of the deeds. Well done Miguel and many thanks for all your help!

Miguel was awesome! Super responsive, extended my knowledge and put me totally at ease through the process of buying a house in Galicia.

I felt my interests were put first in the process and protected and would definitely recommend Miguel with full confidence.

Miguel in Oviedo helped us during the process of buying a flat in Asturias. He was just brilliant!

Very Satisfied with Miguel's work. He was very helpful and we would definitely use his services again in the future.

We bumped into several bureaucratic hurdles here in Oviedo before we contacted your company. It was a mess. Yet, our lawyer Miguel went the extra mile and bent over backwards to get everything solved for us. We couldn't have had any better lawyer than him. It was great to work with him.

Overall the service provided by Oliver was exceptional.

His English is top notch and his way of explaining and or guiding you through what needs to be done makes the whole experience easier than expected.

We'd recommend Oliver to anyone in need of his expertise while dealing with issues in Tenerife.

Very good English in a situation that was new to us.

Oliver was extremely helpful, he couldn’t have done more.

Very professional, very helpful and always responded promptly to any queries I had.

We contacted Oscar to check a lease for a rented property we were interested in. The landlord was in a hurry for us to sign it. Oscar contacted us very quickly the same day and pointed out many aspects of the lease that needed further enquiries. He also arranged to check who owned the property with the land registry and check the landlords business registration was legit. The matter was concluded within 48 hours. Brilliant service.

We were impressed with the speed and professionalism shown by Oscar who spoke very good English. We will definitely go back to Oscar for all our Spanish legal enquiries and future property leases/purchase.

The service was very simple to use, good value and quick. Perfect.

Huge thanks to Oscar for such a great job undertaken with a calm, professional and reassuring manner.

Oscar is a very knowledgeable and professional lawyer. He always responded promptly and patiently to my many questions. I can easily say that without him as my lawyer, I wouldn’t have been able to purchase my flat, so I am extremely happy that he took on my case and I’m very grateful to him.

The process of buying a flat turned out to be very complicated due to various reasons, and we encountered problems at every stage of the procedure. However, Oscar went out of his way and proactively resolved every single issue along the way. He kept me fully informed and was fully open and honest with me, without sugarcoating any issues - something I truly appreciated. Thanks to his professional and kind attitude, and consequently my trust in him, I even managed to stay relatively calm despite all the setbacks.

I would definitely go back to him if I ever needed any legal help and would highly recommend him to others, without any doubt!
All was perfect!

We are very happy with our meeting with Oscar, very understanding and professional, and had smart solutions.

Oscar was extremely responsive answering emails very quickly and he was patient in dealing with what was quite a sensitive and difficult situation relating to one of Advocate Abroad's former colleagues who had not been professional.

I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone. I will certainly ask for his help again if ever the need arises.

My lawyer was a very effective attorney. He listened to me and could give me good advice on what legal actions to pursue. He answered my questions regarding the case and explained details so I could understand better. We did everything by text and e-mail and that seemed rather efficient.

It would have been nice to have met once, and I had to wait sometimes for a response from him, but I know Mr. Vaello is very busy with his work.

Having been in Barcelona for only six months, we ran into a problem with a local landlord and needed swift legal advice. I duly searched the internet and decided to plump for Advocate Abroad where upon I spoke to Oscar. Look no further. He was immediately courteous, polite, very understanding, and extremely professional. Above all, he was patient, listened precisely to what I had to say before he gave me his professional opinion of where I stood from a legal point of view. His command of the English language was faultless to the point where I felt that I could have been speaking to a native English speaker.
As to the subject matter, within a 30 minute phone call I understood exactly where I stood from a Spanish legal point of view, acted accordingly, and the problem was successfully dealt with. And probably the nicest touch of all, once once the matter was resolved having followed his advice, and with no further advantage to either himself or Advocate Abroad, he had the courtesy and kindness to ring me personally to see how I had gone on.
Thank you Oscar. Outstanding (not a word I use often) !!!
 

Oscar helped us through the process of buying our family home in Alella Barcelona. He advised and informed as well as reviewing the contracts and doing checks on liabilities, registrations etc.

We are very happy with Oscars work. Easy to communicate with, available for questions and not shy to give you his opinion. Was a pleasure to work with you and we will make sure to stay in touch for any future legal advice we may need.

Excellent customer service and good legal advice. Oscar always returns calls and messages promptly, even when he was on holiday! He is polite and patient.

I am very happy with the services provided by Advocate Abroad and especially Oscars work. All at reasonable cost.

Oscar was a great help throughout a difficult process as we bought a house in Barcelona. Despite significant setbacks, he was able to help us find solutions to ensure we finally managed to purchase the property.

Thank you to Oscar for being incredibly professional and for explaining everything in a straightforward way so we understood a process which was foreign to us. I highly recommend him as a lawyer for anyone looking to buy a property in Spain.

Very flexible, great to deal with, made things simple and fully understood what we needed.

Oscar was very kind, professional and fair. He was able to help me with my problem and he was very determined that he would.

Oscar is very competent, polite and showed a lot of effort to solve my problem. I strongly recommend him.

Thank you ever so much Rafael for your help, understanding and professionalism. We are grateful!

Rafael was very professional in all aspects, he was very polite and understanding and would ensure that you knew all the facts concerning the Spanish legal system.

With his guidance and advice, my particular case had a good conclusion. I was very surprised that the cost of his council was very reasonable and economical considering his experience and knowledge as a lawyer.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any future clients. Thank You, Rafael

Rafael was an enormous help with the purchase of our home. Being new to the country it all seemed extremely complex but Rafael explained the process in such a clear, calm and detailed way that I felt I could place my trust in his abilities which made the whole experience smooth and hassle free.

Rafael is a consummate professional and will highly recommend him to anyone in need of his talent.

Rafael in Sevilla helped my husband & I through the EU residency process. He was very proactive with gaining our appointments quickly, accompanying us to all appointments as our Spanish is still a work in progress and keeping us informed of the process from beginning to end.

We would fully recommend Rafael.

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.

This was complicated by the numerous delays and closures due to COVID and Rafael was indispensable in helping us obtain meetings and file documents online. He was always available to answer the many questions that crept us during this rather lengthy process and we could not have navigated the numerous steps without his invaluable assistance.

Rafael did a great job informing me and my girlfriend of our options to relocate to Seville from the UK. Clear, friendly, and straight forward process. Thank you.

Responded excellently to the difficult changes to get my TIE residency. Very professional & approachable. Value for money.
Very happy with the service I received.

Rafael was always available to help and assist me, even if it was a case of me worrying! Which I really appreciated because the process was stressful at times and involved lots of preparation.

Rafael made sure I knew exactly what I had to do. He replied and responded quickly to my messages/calls/emails. He was very knowledgeable and highly organised with a vast experience. He made me feel confident. I will always recommend him. I praise his work highly.

Rafael was incredibly helpful and responsive.

I would highly recommend his services for anyone like me who is having difficulty navigating the Spanish system.

Rafael has provided us with excellent service for us as we relocated to Spain. He guided us through the NIE application and subsequent switch to TIEs. He assisted us through the process of our house purchase and also helped us with our wills.
We found his help invaluable. His approach was friendly and professional throughout. We would recommend him to anyone looking for English speaking legal services.

Rafael was extremely professional when we approached him in a complete panic over a burofax we received in Spanish from a neighbour. He knew exactly what we should do.

He diffused the situation with his knowledge of the law in Spain. The information has been left on file with him should we ever need to refer back in the future.
Kindest regards
Michael and Olivia Ashmore

I was extremely happy with Rafael during my case. He always responded promptly to any questions I had. I found both his spoken and written English to be excellent, even with complex legal matters.

He explained any query I had very well and if there was anything I was unsure of he explained thoroughly. I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism throughout the process together. I would highly recommend Rafael to anyone needing a lawyer in Spain. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Very helpful, especially as English and Spanish law has it's differences and my final document - a testament -  required the services of a notary and the final translation.

A pleasure to meet Rafael and to discuss my needs and he made the whole process straightforward with lots of common sense solutions. ***** 5 stars and highly recommended.

Worked with Rafael for a project. He is very professional, efficient and helpful.
Thanks Rafael!

Raffaele was very courteous and result-oriented, handled the case with high professionalism

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 !

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.

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.

he is professional in all points mentioned above, I am so happy with dealing with Raffaele, he always gives me the required information.

Raffaele exceeded my expectations and always went the extra mile to assist me with my needs!

Very Satisfied with the service.

Raffaele went out of his way to make sure I solved all my problems in the most cost-effective way possible. He also takes full responsibility for doing a great job and making sure the client is happy.

My lawyer had a very professional and tactful approach to my case and endeavoured in every way to resolve my problem.He's been very polite and patient giving me time to make the right decisions.

Very satisfied with the service provided!

He really listened to my story (all the details about the issue I had), he was always clear about his strategy and never sugarcoated the possible outcome.

I appreciated the fact he was very down-to-earth and presented me with truth about the situation, without trying to give me false hopes.

Always professional I would totally recommend his service.

Very helpful very fast response and very quick service - couldn't have asked for a better service!

Rosa was simply outstanding - always on hand to answer difficult questions and explained complex legal issues in a very clear manner. I could not recommend her more highly!

Excellent communication and spoke perfect English. She explained the process very well. Very reasonably priced.

Rosa was extremely helpful and responded to every email very promptly. Would highly recommend Rosa to anyone, she sorted out my issue very quickly.

Rosa was extremely prompt to reply to any queries or give timelines so we were aware of the whole process and what was expected of us when.

Very professional and courteous manner and made good suggestions to solve problems that came up to help them be resolved in a timely manner

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.

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.

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!

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.

Rosa was very efficient, responding promptly to all my enquiries and made the whole process very smooth. I couldn't have asked for more in a lawyer.
