"Inma helped me to buy a property in the Valencia region. I could not have had someone more trustworthy and helpful. Her English is totally fluent and she had no problem taking the time to read through all the documents and explain everything to me.
I had many questions as it was my first property purchase and she always took the time to explain. She double checked things that didn't seem right which ended up saving me a lot of money, extra work that she noticed and argued for me to save me money.
I am so grateful to her for making this process so much easier and having someone I could trust. I would highly recommend anyone buying in this area to work with her. :)"
"I've been so impressed with Advocate Abroad services from the get go. Literally, shortly after reaching out via the web, I received a call followed by an email from Oscar, in Barcelona.
Oscar's approach I found to be extremely professional and patient, whilst walking me through my options of dealing with the failure of my landlord to return my deposit.
Oscar's guidance has been sound, and clearly demonstrated his understanding of the issue at hand and when and how we should proceed to the next stage. Always respectful in seeking my thoughts and not being bullish with his.
This week my case has come to a close, with a mutual agreement reached. This in itself is a long way off from the starting point between the landlord and self. Thank you sincerely Oscar for your assistance on this journey, it was a pleasure working with you. Kind regards"
"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!

Francisca remained empathic and provided clear guidance throughout the process. We were made to feel valued and our opinions and thoughts were listened to with patience and care, particularly, as we had never endeavoured to buy a property aboard before and we do not speak Spanish.
Francisca was able to see our point of view, as we ventured into new territory. Her support ensured that we felt confident and in control throughout the purchasing process. Francisca was always open and approachable, and always responded to queries and returned our calls without delay. We cannot praise her hard work enough and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a property aboard.
Although always professional, the relationship made as feel that we were dealing with a good friend and it was more just a transactional relationship, Francisca displayed emotional intelligence throughout the whole process."

She was diligent, tenacious and always right. For me who didn’t speak the language and lived thousands of miles away (in Australia) she was everything I needed.
On top of that, she was warm and fun, a pleasure to speak to. I look forward catching up one day for a coffee - something I have never imagined doing with any other lawyer I have hired."
"Tiago helped me with my property purchase in Porto. Impressed is understatement for his above and beyond service.
First of all, his English is perfect. He never took more than 20 minutes to reply me back on any messages (this is New York type of efficiency and thought I won’t see it anywhere else).
He was always 17 steps ahead, leaving me no room for questions. No pages unturned on any documents, working around the clock (I was often getting messages from him at 9 pm), translates/explains everything for you, and sooooooo personable. He takes care of you as if he’s helping his best friend moving in town. He truly cares! I didn’t even use buyer’s agent for this purchase (don’t worry. I KNEW it was a good deal so I had to snatch it away) but he made everything so seamless.
Later this year I will be applying for D7 visa and I know I will be in good hands with him helping me out. The price is unbeatable for the services he provides for you. He covers both property purchase and immigration services. Bureaucracy is not easy to navigate in Portugal, you’ll be glad to have his service just as I did."
"My Lawyer was Maria: diligent professional and helpful and ready to advise on any concerns arising throughout the entire purchase contract. I will advise this firm to anyone going to buy a property in Spain. Many thanks. Raffaele"

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.
