Residency

I had an extremely complicated situation coupled with 'awkward' officials in Málaga that made my case even more difficult to resolve but Angela stuck with it even when I had given up hope. After nearly 5 years of battling Spanish bureaucracy Angela achieved what I thought was impossible and I am now living in Spain as a fully legal resident.

A very positive, pleasant experience

My request to connect with an expert was very swiftly handled by Advocate Abroad. The service was very professional, fast, and above all helpful.

It has been so great working with Raffaele on my situation this year over many months. He demonstrated high level of knowledge and expertise on how to best proceed. It was absolutely wonderful to work with him as he always kept my best interest and my intended outcome front and center. I got what i wanted in terms of outcome and i'm thrilled with it.

This experience has created a deep confidence level in me for Raffaele and Advocate Abroad in general. I would definitely recommend to others.

Property identification

Ann was professional, engaging and extremely competent. Her communication and responsiveness to our various requests was exceptionally good. She was always available and provided sound advice.
We requested her to locate a rental property for us in what is a relatively 'tight' market in Pontevedra. Ann identified a suitable property, and arranged a remote viewing and negotiated on our behalf. We are very happy with our apartment and very grateful to have had Ann represent us. We cannot rate her highly enough and thoroughly recommend her.

The lawyer went the extra mile to get the job done

I couldn't be happier with the service Advocate Abroad provided.

The lawyer assigned to me went the extra mile to get me the Italian police certificates I requested. When the Italian officials didn't respond to his inquires by email or phone. He went to their office in person, in another city, multiple times. Moreover, he did all that without charging me extra for his time spent other than the fare for the train tickets. Could not ask for a better service.

House purchase abroad

Tiago is very helpful and knowledgeable. He made the purchase of our property so much easier. It is clear that he is very experienced. However, I would give a 4.5 rating as I do think the response time in communication could have been better at times. Otherwise highly recommended, we will definitely use his services again in the future.

Dr Peter Hamvas was absolutely incredible. Navigating everything by myself in a foreign country was so overwhelming but Peter knew exactly what to do. I couldn’t recommend him more, he went above and beyond every time!

Received Finally

Rafael in Sevilla collected all the required data from me, supplied the correct forms completed for my signature, and submitted all on time. Then it all disappeared into the Spanish immigration system only to emerge some five and a half months later, finally received my residency tarjeta mid September. Don't believe this " it's granted after three months", the immigration department has ways round that, but while it's in process you're OK.

Highly recommend Ms Sorina Homitchi from Advocates Abroad

We engaged Advocates Abroad for assistance in obtaining a Romanian Cazier Judiciar. I received a detailed reply to my inquiry within 24 hours. Ms Sorina Homitchi was exceptionally professional, responsive, and thorough throughout the process. I highly recommend Ms. Sorina for her client service

Jorge was a fantastic find for my requirements. He’s worked to legally support me in the purchase of a house in Portugal.
He speaks both English and Portuguese, which is necessary for me to understand the purchasing process.
He’s a comforting guide and communicator, ensuring the work is correct and complete.
I would recommend him from this side of the pond at the very least.

Thank you to Advocate Abroad and specifically, Jorge Sampaio Ferreira.

Very professional service & excellent result

I was delighted with the services of Juan Ignacio who went above and beyond in his endeavours to track down my mother's Spanish birth certificate. Not an easy task as she was born before the civil war and, initially it appeared that it might have been destroyed. But still he persevered and was always professional, industrious and a very nice person to deal with. A happy solution and a pleasant experience. Thank you!

Advocate Abroad Lawyer Albert - Very Good

The service I received relating to a family court matter was very good, in fact outstanding. My lawyer Albert was so helpful and professional with every part of the difficult family court processes in Spain for several years. I was living in the UK at the time and spoke very little Spanish. Albert and his contacts with their legal experience guided me throughout all stages. Assisting with representation at court hearings, relevant documentation and applications. This resulted in both contact and finally custody of the children after the Court removed them from their mothers care in Spain.
