How clients rate our Administrative Lawyers in Spain...

Advocate Abroad seeks client feedback to ensure continued high-quality service provision.
After being made redundant in November last year, I needed assistance with claiming my bonus from my previous employer (who also told me I could do it all myself and getting a lawyer was a waste of money - which is definitely not correct!). After searching online I came across Advocate Abroad, who had English-speaking lawyers in my area (Valencia), and was assigned Francisca to aid me. My level of Spanish is certainly not good enough so I felt I needed someone who could speak English to avoid anything lost in translation. It was a huge relief that Francisca spoke excellent English. She patiently explained the process, answered all my stupid questions and reassured me of any concerns I had. I was proactively kept aware of everything and always got a quick reply to any questions I had, which completely reduced my stress levels! She also accompanied me to the court and kept me calm throughout. Not only did she achieve me winning my bonus, she also pushed for additional money for me due to how I was made redundant - so I came away with much more than I wanted or expected. I would recommend Francisca to everyone.
