Miguel was fluent in multiple languages and he was INSANELY proficient in local case law as it applied to divorce. He coordinated seamlessly with my US lawyer, developed very effective strategies and was familiar with all the lawyers my ex-wife was hiring in the area in addition to having litigated against them multiple times. What should have been a disaster (personally and financially), Miguel turned in to a winning situation for us. The entire case took 3 years and he never missed a beat. Anyone facing a divorce in the EU, and in particular Spain or anyone that also has to deal through multiple jurisdictions as I did (the US and Spain) should hire Miguel. If you're just in Spain having a Spanish divorce, hire Miguel. Thinking about marrying a Spaniard...Talk. To. Miguel.
