How clients rate our Property Lawyers in Spain...

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

Jose, was outstanding in arranging the sale of my apartment in Alicante. He took the time to explain and outline what documents I needed, and always returned any emails or calls. His work and ethics are of the highest standards. I would recommend him to anyone in Spain or as myself, a non-resident. All went smoothly and his knowledge and expertise was excellent. As a US citizen, who has worked with attorneys in business in NYC, Jose is one of the best I have ever worked with. Diane
