My lawyer Maria was excellent from the start. Her knowledge of Spanish Law plus her ability to speak and write good English was vital. Communication was very important, and she certainly kept us up to date. She had to deal with a very difficult person in my sale of our villa. She did this admirably, and in doing so buffered my contact with him. After 15 months the villa is now sold, and I am so grateful for her advice, help and professional work all done in an unpredictable, toxic relationship. Maria was a real, steadfast rock, and I had real confidence in her work and ability.
