Best immigration attorneys in Marbella: find options near you

We have been dealing with Asecontex Internacional for both my husband’s Spanish residency as an EU passport holder and my own residency as a non-EU resident. Throughout the entire process, they have been extremely competent, reliable, professional, and efficient. The team made what could have been a stressful and complicated experience feel straightforward and well managed. Communication was always clear, and we felt fully supported at every stage. They also cover many other administrative services, and based on our experience, I would highly recommend Asecontex Internacional who are based in Marbella to anyone needing trustworthy and efficient assistance in Spain.

I appointed Asecontex to help me with my Spanish residency as a family member of an EU citizen. This involved two steps, the first obtaining the green residence card for my wife, the second submitting my own application. Throughout both processes Asecontex was incredibly efficient, and guided us through the processes and required paperwork with clarity. The team was quick to respond to questions, and always had an answer and recommendation. Sophie Louise in particular was incredibly helpful. As a result of this good and thorough work, my approval for residency came through much faster then I had anticipated, in just over a week. I would not hesitate to recommend Asecontex to anyone navigating the Spanish visa process.

When you instruct a lawyer in Spain for something like a TIE renewal, you’re not really paying for the paperwork. You’re paying to be guided. You want someone who takes the process off your plate, tells you what’s next, and books the appointment. That was not my experience with Asecontex. The quoting stage was fine. I emailed on 25 March, sent over my TIE the next day, and had a clear quote of €242 within a few days. I confirmed I wanted to proceed on 31 March. After that, nothing moved unless I pushed it. Six days of silence. I chased on 6 April, and only then did they ask for a phone number. Silence again. I chased a second time on 9 April. When the reply eventually came, it was to say they didn’t have availability “this week” and would be in touch “next week.” they weren’t. By that stage it was nearly a month after my first email, on a routine renewal I had agreed to within days. Every step forward had required me to follow up. I instructed another firm, had a short (1day) email exchange and they are booking the TIE at the police station. If you want to hand the problem over and trust it’s being handled, my experience was the opposite of that. You’ll chase at every step, and you’ll wait a long time between responses. For a renewal with real deadlines attached, that’s not what I needed, and it may not be what you need either.

I contacted Gestoria Administrativa Internacional Asecontex after my previous immigration lawyer ghosted me during a critical moment of my immigration status. With only a few days left to apply, I was getting very nervous but they reassured me that everything was going to be OK and they handled my case quickly and professionally and explained the process step by step. And within three weeks, I received a confirmation for a new residency. I honestly could not have found better service if I tried. I recommend this institution for anyone who would to get immigration work done. 10/10

Great service fast process my driving license exchange was fully done in less than 3 month that’s a great time. Definitely I recommend. Big thanks to Mayra, Sophie and Maria very helpful team. Additionally I am using there service to adjust my work permit status. Again I have used their services and as usual an excellent response and I strongly recommend. Thank you Sophie you are always so pleasant to deal with very supportive.

Myra was very supportive and patient to my personal situation. Despite the process taking very long, she provided all of the help needed regarding the documentation and everything else. She is a very trustworthy lawyer, thank you!

Excellent experience with Mayra. Thanks to her management and professionalism, I was able to obtain my residency without complications. She is a very efficient and approachable professional who inspires confidence at all times. Highly recommended!

My experience, especially with Marta, was excellent. She made the entire process very easy for me to understand and ensured that my NIE card renewal was completed on time. I truly appreciate her professionalism and support throughout the process. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you so much!

a total scam. after less than 24 hours, i asked for a refund because i knew more about the process of extending a visa than my attorney. after many conversations about why i deserved a refund after receiving no services, they kept 150€. i asked for a refund from another place because they could not move as quickly as i needed, and i received a full refund without problem. BEWARE. this company is incompetent and dishonest.

I had an outstanding experience working with Vasiliy on my residency case. From the very first consultation, he was honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. He guided me through every step of the process, answered all my questions promptly, and made a complicated situation feel manageable. What I appreciated most was his professionalism and genuine dedication—he truly cared about my case and worked hard to make sure everything was done correctly and on time. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to get my residency, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

My experience of Pro Spain Consulting was excellent. They supported us through every stage of the Residency process for my husband. especially Marta Torres ( immigration Lawyer) who was excellent in keeping us updated and answering any questions very promptly. Thank you to the whole team who helped.

Great and professional service. Marta was amazing and she helped us throughout the process. Everything went smooth and with ease

I honestly couldn’t be happier with this law firm! They helped me get my residency card and the whole process was so much easier thanks to them. Everyone was super friendly, professional and always kept me updated. I felt really supported the whole way through. It’s such a relief to finally have everything done I’m so thankful for their help! Definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help with residency or immigration papers

ProSpain Consulting helped me (and my now Spanish employer) over the course of nearly a year make the transition from the US to Spain on a work visa. I can’t say enough good things about the professionalism, quality of service, responsiveness, and expertise—they are truly great people to work with, and I can’t recommend them enough. They made the complex process of obtaining a government approved working visa for a non-EU citizen as seamless as possible. Neither myself, nor my now employer, had experience in the process, but ProSpain Consulting led they way from the start to finish, and made all the difference. I would rate this firm a 10/10.

Franco Abogados is an excellent multilingual law firm . They have assisted me several times for my real estate business and I can sincerely recommend them. I could just relax and the whole process was smoothly taken care of.

First started working with the law offices of Franco Abogados in 2007 and remained with them up to now 2026. It has been a wonderful, trouble-free experience. I only speak English, and their staff’s language skills have been a great help, in both buying and selling our property. Alfonso is wonderful to work with. He is polite, responsive and his skills enabled the owning of property as a foreigner in Spain seamless. I highly recommend this firm, they are very professional.

We had a fantastic experience working with Franco Abogados when purchasing our apartment in Spain from the UK. Jaime and Julia guided us through every step of the complicated process, which was very important we were first time buyers in Spain unfamiliar with the processes. The law firm is top-notch, with quick responses, smart advice in both English and German. I can highly recommend for anyone needing legal advice in the the Costa del Sol – you will be in the most capable hands!

Absolutely wonderful service. Very quick, knowledgeable and helpful. Purchasing our apartment in Spain was made so much more enjoyable by working with Jaime, Franco and Andrea. A great team who were a pleasure to work with. Thankyou all so much!

I just lost my husband and I need to send money for the maintenance of our house in Spain but I have sent it to a wrong account thank God I realised I transferred it to Franco Abogados I am very grateful that they refunded it to me. My family in Ireland are all using this company since 2005 until now and they gave us excellent services all the time, they are good in communication too I highly recommend Franco Abogados. Susan and Michael O’Donnell

On behalf of Tony Haley, A 5 star service recevied from Franco Abogados, very helpful in the buying & sale of my spanish property . Alfonso was a great help with my tax queries and resolved them with no issues. Would recommend to all, Thank you Jamie

My husband and I bought an apartment in Marbella about two years ago and Franco Abogados helped us with everything from contacting the seller to signing the contract and also with great contacts such as electricity, telephone, renovation and also connecting the alarm. We have also used him for declarations and everything we needed in Spain. Frasnco Abogados and his team are extremely professional, patient and friendly. We will always use them. I highly recommend Jaime and his colleagues who are a great team. without Franco we would not have managed to put together our purchase and all the services surrounding the purchase! Thank you for being there <3

Juan and his team have been fantastic in supporting us through both my partners visa process and the incorporation of our company in Spain. Everything was handled clearly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail, which gave us real confidence throughout. The visa process was smooth and well guided at every step, and the company setup was equally well managed, with seamless coordination across the notary and registry. Communication was always prompt and professional, making what could have been complex processes feel straightforward. We really appreciate Juan’s support and would highly recommend his services to anyone navigating visas, relocation, or setting up a business in Spain.

We had a very complex visa application to complete and after trying to work on the application ourselves, we decided to enlist the help of Mecan Legal and Juan Diego (JD) which turned out to be one of our best decisions. We were guided successfully and were able to get our visas approved in three weeks. I attribute the success and the short time it took for approval to Juan Diego and Mecan Legal. JD was always available, every step of the way, and took the time to explain every document and request in detail. The firm is exceptional and we will continue to use them in the future. I normally do not rate a company with five stars unless it is truly outstanding. Mecan Legal is exceptional so I feel completely comfortable giving it my highest recommendation.

Ordinarily, I seldom take the time to write reviews about companies, but I felt compelled to document the service I received from Megan Legal. As a UK citizen trying to navigate the Spanish legal system and new immigration legislation, I found Megan Legal’s expertise — particularly that of Juan Diego — invaluable in helping me successfully obtain my Spanish visa. Their client-centred approach and attention to detail have been second to none. Communication throughout the process was clear (in English), responsive, and reassuring, which made what can often be a complicated and stressful experience feel far more manageable. Before working with Megan Legal I tried several other firms, and my experience was poor and underwhelming at best. By contrast, Megan Legal provided clarity, professionalism, and genuine support from start to finish. I have yet to come across another legal firm willing to go the extra mile for their clients without additional cost. If for no other reason than to help guide non-Spanish speakers into honest, competent, and safe hands, I felt it important to share this experience. I recommend Megan Legal fully and wholeheartedly. Be well, Dr Ben Chell 🙏🏽

I recently worked with Mercan Legal and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Juan Diego was absolutely outstanding in how he handled our cases. Whether we were dealing with tax, immigration or purchasing property, he made us feel fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. Thanks to his skill and support, we achieved favourable outcomes across the board. I’d recommend Mercan Legal — and especially Juan Diego — without hesitation.

I have been a client of Juan Munoz for over five years, and I couldn’t ask for better legal support regarding my property in Spain, immigration matters, and tax guidance. Juan consistently stays proactive and attentive to my needs. He offers excellent advice and presents options tailored to my specific situation. I truly appreciate his support and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Mecan Legal.

I purchased a rustic home and had the pleasure of working with Juan Diego Muñoz to assist with the legal process. As a U.S. citizen, the process of buying property abroad can be daunting, but they made it seamless. From the start, Juan Diego demonstrated incredible patience, taking the time to educate me on each step of the process, including potential hurdles we might face. He was always prompt in providing detailed information as it came in, ensuring that I was well-informed and prepared. During the property negotiations, Juan Diego’s guidance was crucial. On top of that, on the day of closing, his support was outstanding, and I truly appreciated it. If you’re considering purchasing property in Spain especially as a foreigner I cannot recommend Mecanlegal enough.

I had a great experience working with Mercan Legal. Juan Diego provided exceptional guidance throughout the entire process, handling matters related to taxation, immigration, and property purchase with remarkable clarity and professionalism. He always took the time to explain each step and made sure we felt confident in every decision. His expertise and dedication were key to achieving very positive results. I would highly recommend Mercan Legal, and especially Juan Diego, to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable legal support.

My family and I have worked with Mauricio and the team at Welt Abogados for many years, they have helped us with a variety of different things including house purchases in Spain. They are super knowledgeable, very responsive and very well connected. Nothing is too much trouble and tasks get completed quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend Welt and consider them a part of any legal actions we need to conduct in Spain.

I have used Mauricio of Welt Abogados for years now. He helped us buy two properties and sell one. He has drafted and executed our Spanish wills for us. On every occasion I received top quality service and I was guided every step of the way. Welt take on the heavy lifting and ensure all the admin ( including tax filings) are completed. They did a great job in getting me a tax refund. I was so pleased ! They always go the extra mile. Mauricio speaks absolutely perfect English which was of tremendous benefit to us. He always responds instantly to messages, no matter what day of the week it is. I cannot recommend Welt enough.

Mauricio has been our abogado for many years and has proved to be top class in all his dealings on our behalf. Experienced and knowledgeable, he has earned our respect and confidence. We thoroughly recommend his services for all your legal needs in Spain

I had a great experience with Welt Abogados, especially working with Mauricio. Mauricio helped my grandmother tremendously with several legal matters related to property in Spain. He is extremely professional, quick to respond, and very sharp when it comes to identifying potential legal risks. Thanks to his expertise, he helped protect my grandmother from entering into legal constructions that could have been disadvantageous for her. What I particularly appreciated is that Mauricio is not only a very capable lawyer, but also a genuinely kind and caring person. He takes a real personal interest in the wellbeing of his clients and makes sure they feel supported and well informed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Mauricio and the team at Welt Abogados to anyone who is buying property in Spain or needs reliable legal assistance. Truly a trustworthy and professional team.

Mauricio at Welt Abogados has been an incredible lawyer for my family over the past 15 years. He has handled our wills, house purchase, power of attorney, proof of life etc. Always with a professional but kind and understanding manner, to such an extent our son has decided to follow in his footsteps and is currently studying law at Granada University. I would 100% recommend Welt Abogados for any legal requirements.

What can I say? Simply fantastic, the lawyer Mauricio is extremely friendly and professional, he follows you step by step and gives you the feeling of never being alone. 5 stars are not enough. Highly recommended

A friend recommended we used Mauricio’s services 10 years ago. We couldn’t be happier with the recommendation. Mauricio is attentive , knowledgeable and very friendly …. Always available to give good advice on many topics.We have introduced Mauricio to others who are equally happy with the support and good advice Mauricio always gives….would highly recommend.

If you want to buy a home in Spain with complete peace of mind, Els is the person to go to. She takes care of absolutely everything, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. She is also extremely responsive and always answers my questions promptly. Buying a property abroad doesn’t have to be stressful when you’re working with people who truly know what they’re doing. Last but certainly not least, Els is simply a wonderful person to work with.

Els and the team were amazing – very knowledgeable in the Ibiza market, well networked, super responsive and competitive pricing. I will definitely use them again for legal matters in Spain. Also very good comms – multi-lingual team.

I am very satisfied with this law office and the service they provide. Communication was professional, clear and very fast throughout the entire process. What I especially appreciated is that they speak multiple languages, which makes international matters so much easier and more comfortable. They really take the time to explain everything properly and think along with their clients. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for reliable legal assistance in Spain.

I’ve been working with Els and her team for over five years and have always had a very positive experience. They are responsive, reliable, and consistently get things done efficiently. I can highly recommend them.

I couldn’t recommend a better lawyer than Kati. She was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire process of our property purchase in La Duquesa, Málaga. Although I’m familiar with buying property in Spain and live here myself, this case was more complex as we were purchasing with family members who are not Spanish residents. Kati guided us every step of the way. She responded incredibly quickly, handled all our questions and concerns with ease, and made the entire operation feel smooth and stress-free. Working with her truly means peace of mind — and I believe that’s exactly what everyone hopes for in such an important transaction. I would absolutely work with her again.

I am from Germany and I bought an apartment in Ibiza this year. My biggest concern was finding a reliable lawyer, because that’s the most important thing when buying property in Spain. Els Myngheer from MYNGHEER & ASSOCIATES was the perfect lawyer for me. She speaks excellent English and guided me through every step of the purchase process. From the contract to the notary appointment to the handover of the keys, she was always by my side and available to answer any questions I had. Even after the handover, she helped me prepare all the contracts for electricity, internet, and the alarm system, put me in touch with the property management company, and took so much work off my hands. I felt secure and well advised at all times. I can wholeheartedly recommend Els Myngheer from MYNGHEER & ASSOCIATES.

Are you looking for a reliable law firm, friendly, quick and capable, speaking Spanisch, Englisch and Dutch, Els Myngheer, Myngheer & Associates is your adress to go, for me for sure 5*****

We recently used the services of Bocanegra for a property purchase in Madrid. We could have retained the services of a lawyer in Madrid, but we decided that, because we’ve worked with Bocanegra before on a previous property purchase in Marbella, we would use them again. We knew we were guaranteed quality. My wife has also done her Spanish nationality with Bocanegra, and I fully anticipate using their legal services for many more years to come. On this transaction, we worked with Cristina and her assistant Malén. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Bocanegra is part of the fabric that makes modern-day Marbella. They’ve stood the test of time and have an impeccable reputation. Thank you for helping us make our dreams come true with strong legal support.

Probably the best law firm for foreigners in Spain. They helped us with residency, tax advice and buying property in Marbella. Cristina did an outstanding job!!

As an expatriate, dealing with the requirements of the Beckham Law has become increasingly complex and challenging. After trying to handle my case with another law firm without success, I was starting to worry that I might lose an important professional opportunity. Everything changed when I contacted Bocanegra Law Firm. From the very first consultation, it was clear that they are true specialists in the Beckham Law. Their deep knowledge, attention to detail, and clear communication immediately set them apart from my previous experience. Thanks to Bocanegra’s expertise and proactive approach, all my paperwork was handled efficiently and correctly, making what initially felt like an overwhelming process smooth and stress-free. They guided me through every step, ensured all deadlines were met, and resolved issues that other firms had failed to address. I can confidently say that Bocanegra made the Beckham Law process significantly easier, even in today’s more demanding regulatory environment. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to their clients are outstanding. I highly recommend Bocanegra Law Firm to anyone seeking expert advice on the Beckham Law. After an unsuccessful attempt elsewhere, working with them was truly a game changer.

What a professional team!! If you want things done properly, Bocanegra is definitely the right choice. Fast, efficient, and clearly very experienced. You can tell they have been in the business for many years ☺️

I got amazing service from Ana Sánchez that helped me with an employee contract when I was hiring a housekeeper. She responded to every emails within minutes and was very helpful whenever it was something I didn’t understand. First time in Spain receiving this level of service from someone so all I can say is that I recommend Ana a lot!

Completely disgusted with this law firm. I’m a foreigner and I trusted them to take care of my divorce settlements. As they knew that I was not from here and completely unaware of the legal precedents of this country they began to act on my behalf without notifying first. I was only notified when it came to collecting legal payments. They then went on to withhold information to my current lawyer which is illegal, and they said they would not release it until they collected their legal fees. This is not ethical and I feel completely taken advantage of. Do not recommend at all.

Seems great, but unless you’re a vip client, chances are, you will be served by a less experienced lawyer, who may not give you minor information that would otherwise help you a lot, whoch is what happened to me. It’s a good idea to visit these guys, and then get a second opinion in a different firm. Good thing is, a consultation is just 30€.

I had a very positive experience with Mercury Abogados. The team is professional, efficient, and always friendly. Communication was smooth, and they consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to providing excellent service. It was a pleasure cooperating with them, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

We have used Mercury Abogados to purchase a property in Costa del Sol. Cecilio Sanchez and his team have been very professional, helpful, very quick to communicate and always available. Our purchase was not straightforward, so they had to go the extra mile to make sure everything went through properly. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

Mercury Abogados are a top law firm that I could not recommend highly enough. My family used Cecilio, and he is extremely competent, professional and effective. Overall a very good and cost effective service.

We worked closely with Mercury Abogados and Gregor over a considerable amount of time, going through several challenges which called for his legal expertise and cool tempered approach. An overall imaculate professional experience for a law firm and the professionals involved who truly rise to the occasion.

Lovely, warm people at Mercury Abogados. Reliable and efficient – would highly recommend!

I am very satisfied with the services offered by Mercury Lawyers in Marbella, 100% recommended

Friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended for all legal matters

lawyer Yolanda Pinto Cebrian at Extranjeríalex was exceptional in handling my case. Their expertise, clear communication, and dedication made a stressful process much more manageable. Thanks to their thorough preparation and strategic approach, we achieved a fantastic outcome. I highly recommend Yolanda Pinto for anyone seeking professional and compassionate legal assistance. Feel free to personalize this to better fit your experience.

Very professional and effective team, I’m glad I choose them , I had an issue with my NIE , they solved my problem in a matter of minutes. Thank you

A lawyer. Truly dedicated to her profession, always looking out for the well-being of her clients. Thanks to her, I obtained my residency. Easy and fast.

I contacted this professional to make a legal inquiry. Before allowing me to explain the case, she informed me that I had to pay for the consultation via WhatsApp. When I told her that I needed to know if she could handle my situation before making any payment, she abruptly ended the conversation. I understand that fees are charged for legal advice, but I find it improper to demand payment without even listening to the reason for the inquiry. This way of proceeding, which was presented as standard, seemed not only unprofessional to me but also contrary to the practices one would expect in the responsible practice of law.Contacté a esta profesional para realizar una consulta jurídica. Antes de permitirme explicar el caso, me indicó que debía abonar la consulta por WhatsApp. Al expresarle que necesitaba saber si podía atender mi situación antes de efectuar ningún pago, finalizó abruptamente la conversación. Entiendo que se cobren honorarios por el asesoramiento legal, pero me resulta improcedente exigir un pago sin siquiera escuchar el motivo de la consulta. Esta forma de proceder, que se presentó como habitual, no solo me pareció poco profesional, sino también ajena a las prácticas que cabría esperar en el ejercicio responsable de la abogacía.Translated commentShow original

They highlighted very positive things about this law firm. Great speed regarding all the procedures and very good customer service and clarification of doubts at any time of the day. Thank you Yolanda Pinto Cebrian. I will return for any other procedure I might need.Destacó cosas muy positivas sobre este despacho de abogados. Muchas rapidez en cuanto a todos los trámites y muy buena atención al cliente y aclaraciones de dudas en cualquier momento del día. Gracias Yolanda Pinto Cebrian.

I was very happy with the clear, professional way in which my property purchase was completed. And for the range of services undertaken following completion – such as getting my NIE, opening a bank account and managing the utilities. Alberto was always prompt, clear and straightforward. Cristina was a great help with a number of things and so, a big thank you to her too! I recommend Zuuring if you’re looking to buy a property in this part of Spain.

Terrible service. I have known Diana for sometime but after she retired the new team headed by Alberto are absolutely useless and clueless. Never reply to emails, text messages. After spending a lot of money for lengthy overseas calls no response. They behave like they are doing this for free. they ask for money even before the work starts, as soon as they receive the money that’s it … after that you cant reach them, its like begging. Doesn’t deserve any stars or any future business!

Diana Zuuring Lawyers came recommended and in particular Alberto, being wary of buying a place overseas, from the first moment we met him he explained everything, and seemed to work 24/7 responding to queries! The POA process was simple, and thus the purchase from our side was very easy. Alberto gave very good advice, and liaised efficiently with the estate agents, and mortgage broker for completion. Would have no hesitation to highly recommend using him as it was great customer service

A big thank you to the Zuuring Team for supporting us at buying our apartment in Spain. Especially to Mrs. Liñán who accompanied us through the entire process. She as a very competent and knowledgeable lawyer always gave us the feeling that we are in good hands. It was a pleasure to work with her.

The Team at Zuuring is amazing. We specificat work with Alberto and he has proved to be knowledgeable, responsive, and truly focused on helping with our transactions. We would highly recommend them.

Alberto acted for me when buying in Nueva Andalucia. He was fantastic, he acted in my best interests and was highly efficient. I strongly recommend these guys.

A lawyer called Alberto assisted my family and he was really rude, never picking up the phone and not getting back to us. Contacting someone from the tax department was also impossible, the secretary always asked me to send an email. We wanted this firm because they supposed to speak german, but they were assisting us in poor english instead.
