How clients rate our Property Lawyers in Spain...

Advocate Abroad seeks client feedback to ensure continued high-quality service provision.

I recently used Maria-José to act as my lawyer re selling my house in Spain. Based in another country, I granted Maria power of attorney to complete what turned out to be a more complicated sale than expected. Maria went above and beyond to complete the sale, always keeping me informed, explaining everything in English. Very respectful and patient at all times. I will be instructing Maria again when I need her. Highly recommend!
