I had a very positive experience with Joanna and her team. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely engaged in my case. Throughout the process, I felt listened to, supported, and well informed. They took the time to explain things clearly and always made me feel that my concerns were important. What stood out most was their dedication and genuine care. It never felt like I was just another client. They showed empathy, attention to detail, and a real commitment to helping me navigate a difficult situation. I highly recommend Joanna and her team to anyone looking for professional legal assistance combined with a personal and caring approach.

Amazing lawyer one of the best in Spain. Thank you very much Joana

Joana is very personable and professional lawyer. She was helping me to complete purchase the property and all necessary documents, including residency, bank account opening, all management and media for the new property. How good Joana is? I was able to get the residency, all documents and the key to new apartment within 3 weeks. I highly recommend Joana. Thank you so much for your help.

She is the best

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!

I am very satisfied with the tax assistance I received from Welex! The team explained everything clearly, answered my questions professionally, and helped me understand my tax obligations in Spain. Their service was efficient, precise, and highly reliable. I would definitely recommend Welex to anyone looking for legal and tax support in Spain.

I am glad I was able to have a consultation with Wim, he is very knowledgeable and presents the information in a very clear manner + gives his personal recommendation. I am in a process of buying a new build, but only Wim was able to explain the process and what I can and cannot demand from the developer. I am engaged with Spanish solicitors, who do not think providing explanation to a foreigner is useful – all they said was “trust the process”. I will be engaging with Welex in the future!

Very good service, I was very satisfied with our meeting and got great help and advice on everything I needed. Recomended 100%

I had a wonderful experience with María! Even though I arrived 10 minutes late, she was so welcoming and gave me a very helpful free consultation. She was clear and straight to the point, and I truly appreciated how well she explained everything. Thank you so much for your help!

Highly recommended. I’ve been in contact with many members of their team. Everyone on the team has been incredibly helpful in every way. A prompt and efficient follow-up. Thanks again!

My experience with this firm was excellent! They immediately jumped on our legal matter, worked very hard, and accomplished everything that we needed. They clearly have a strong grip on their legal community and can make things happen effectively and quickly. Also, their advice was very straightforward and honest. Auxi was the main contact person and she was outstanding! I highly recommend this firm.

Thank you very much for your professional explanation. A firm that is clear and punctual. Highly recommend!

Pablo was professional, fast and an absolute pleasure to work with through all of our questions and logistics to purchase our apartment in Spain! We live in the United States are were unsure of how the process would go, but Pablo made everything run smoothly and quickly and was always happy to explain things every step of the way. We are forever grateful for Pablo and the Marbella solicitor’s office to help us through it all!

My husband and I used this firm for the sale of my husband’s late uncle’s apartment and we cannot recommend Jose and Fernanda highly enough. Jose responded to all our communications very very quickly and kept us fully updated about the process throughout. We experienced some difficult issues in our dealings with the authorities and banks in Spain and Jose also helped us in relation to those matters which were outside his initial remit. I can honestly say that without Jose I do not know where we would have been. He went above and beyond and it is clear that he cares enormously about his clients. His assistant Fernanda is also highly recommended who showed great initiative and determination on our behalf. Generally, we are not an easy couple to impress as we have high standards and feel let down by most professionals we encounter in life. However we are also keen to show our appreciation when we do meet those rare people like Jose and Fernanda. They are a credit to their firm and if you are looking for legal support in Spain do not go anywhere else.

Ana Muñoz Ambel has been assisting us in successfully obtaining non-lucrative visas. We have asked numerous questions during this process which have always been answered quickly and accurately. Ana ensured that this difficult exercise has been completed with the minimum amount of stress and discomfort for which we commend her and Marbella Solicitors.

José has been an absolutely crucial part of our home-buying journey. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. We’re incredibly thankful for the high level of service and support he provided. Having a lawyer like José made all the difference, and we warmly recommend Marbella Solicitors to anyone needing legal assistance in Spain.

Pablo was an incredible help when me & my wife were applying for our digital nomad visa. He made a very confusing process as simple as possible, with clear and honest communication and was incredible polite & friendly throughout. We have now been approved for a 3 year visa, thanks in no small part to Pablo! Would highly recommend

We used Marbella Solicitors for the purchase of our holiday home in Cordoba Provence. We initially had Jose support us to obtain our NIE and bank account. Jose was so helpful and guided us through the process with ease. When we found our property, Barbara then supported us with all of the legalities, advising us at every step. Barbara has been amazing and we are so grateful to her for all of her advise and support. We have been so impressed with Marbella solicitors and highly recommend them if you are purchasing a property in Spain. Thank you so much to all of the team for all your support, but special thanks go to Barbara and Jose.

The team at Marbella Solicitors are absolutely fantastic. We had the pleasure of working with Pablo Jimenez who assisted us from purchase to settlement, all done whilst we were on the opposite side of the globe. His communication is prompt and clear and his knowledge and expertise in Spanish Property Law is great. We can’t recommend this firm enough to assist you with all things relating to Spanish property, sale and purchase, set up of accounts and other inter-related tasks. Thank you Pablo and Marbella Solicitors.

Amazing law firm. Patricia is a real professional and her staff is top notch. Whether you need a matrimonial or immigration attorney this is the law firm to use Highly recommend.

I engaged this firm in July 2025 for legal and accounting support for my Spanish company, clearly explaining from the outset that the shareholder is a Lithuanian parent company and that accounting output would be required for audit and consolidation purposes. All invoices were paid promptly, including additional requests made during the engagement. Despite this, the deliverables provided consisted of Excel-based accounting information which, while potentially suitable for internal use, were not usable for audit or consolidation purposes as required and previously communicated. No finalized written agreement clearly defining the scope of services was provided to me, despite repeated requests. This created a lack of clarity as to what was included in the engagement. Regarding the 2025 Corporate Income Tax and Annual Accounts, the firm’s position changed multiple times. The work was first indicated to be outside scope, then offered under specific terms, and subsequently withdrawn after acceptance. As a result, I was required to engage a new advisory firm to ensure compliance and completion of statutory obligations. This review reflects my experience based on documented correspondence and the outcome of the engagement.

I am a returning client and I couldn’t be happier with their services. Five years ago, they successfully solved a difficult case for me, and now they have once again achieved excellent results with my residency application. Ms. Carolina is an outstanding lawyer who explained the entire process honestly and clearly. I truly value her professionalism and transparency. Ms. Carmen is efficient, supportive, and ensures fast and smooth communication. A highly reliable and communicative law firm, and I can strongly recommend their services.

I used their services and I found them very professional. They kept me informed at all times of the status of my legal case and were always available for any question I wanted to ask.

Outstanding service from a highly professional legal firm. Patricia and Carmen were both incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and approachable throughout the entire process. They guided our family of four through the successful application for the NOMAD visa, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. We are truly grateful for their support and will gladly continue to use their services in the future.

I had a wonderful experience with Daemi Zabalza & Asociados.Their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my needs. They provided clear guidance and resolved my matter efficiently. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable legal support!

★★★★★ As a family we have used Daemi Zabalza & Asociados a number of times over the years. Excellent legal service! The team are professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They explained everything clearly and made dealing with all legal matters stress-free. We highly recommend their expertise and dedication! Thank you Patricia, Carolina and Carmen.

Moving from the UK to Spain can be daunting, but Raquel made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. She held our hands from the very beginning right through to completion, helping us with our NIE, bank account, VISA’s, property purchase, TIE, wills, and every other requirement along the way. Nothing was too much trouble, and her expertise and support gave us complete confidence throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Raquel and her services to anyone considering a move to Spain.

I was guided through the non-lucrative visa application process by the Perez Legal Group. They were highly professional throughout the entire consultation, clearly explaining all the requirements of Spanish immigration law. They answered every question thoroughly, ensuring I now have a comprehensive understanding of the next steps. I found Raquel to be exceptionally friendly, professional, and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone looking to relocate permanently to Spain. Keith

We cannot recommend them enough! Just starting our journey with them and dealing with Lisa and Raquel has made it a breeze. They are so helpful and friendly. They respond immediately to our questions. There is no language barrier at all. Absolute pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to our move to Spain when it happens. We know they will guide us through every step of the way!

Very competent and professional. From first contact with the Perez LegaL Group they were happy to discuss my requirements for their services with two video calls with Sra Raquel Perez to clarify & answer my initial questions. Excellent legal advice given throughout and communicated & updated on a regular basis. Sra Noelia Serrano & the rest of the team ensured the process was managed efficiently and smoothly.

Raquel has provided a very efficient service with all of our legal requirements. Always responds as soon as she can to emails and phone calls and never keeps you waiting. We, as a family are in good hands. I highly recommend her.

When I started chasing my dream of owning a place in the Sun I had lots of clutter of information thrown at me by different means such as estate agents, social media, news channels and other electronic bulletins; but when I started liaising with Raquel and Noelia they could very precisely break down important information from that clutter. Their clarity of information and efficiency had guided me through to having my own place here in Costa Del Sol. They are very professional and efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending them for anybody who is seeking guidance in buying in the Sun. They will always be a very valuable stake holder in my journey in Spain! Mr Dias & family

Perez Legal Group has been extremely helpful, patient and set out everything for me clearly. They respond quickly and with efficiency which has been a big relief for me to know my concerns are being looked after

We had an outstanding experience working with Juan Rodriguez at Martínez-Echevarría Abogados. Juan went above and beyond to help us with the purchase of our dream vacation home in Marbella. He guided us through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and exceptional attention to detail. He was always available to answer our questions and responded to emails promptly. In addition to handling all of the legal work, Juan was instrumental in helping us secure a 70% mortgage, which was extremely important to us. He did everything possible to make the transaction successful and as smooth as possible. Juan is highly knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients. We have also worked with him on other matters over the years, and he has consistently provided outstanding service. We are extremely grateful for all of his hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Juan Rodriguez and Martínez-Echevarría Abogados to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal assistance in Spain.

Fantastic service professional and kind service. I was very stressed at the beginning when I decided to buy an apartment off-plan in Estepona with no knowledge of many aspects of the purchase process and regulations and living abroad. The team starting with Daniel and later Andriy provided me with full information about the regulations and the estimated costs. They were super professional and friendly all the way until completion. They kept me informed on the progress, got me the NIE and opened the bank account for me. I am more than happy with the service. I recommend them unconditionally.

I had an excellent experience working with Martínez-Echevarría Abogados during the purchase of my property in Estepona. From the very beginning the entire team was extremely professional, organized and supportive. They guided me through every step of the process, handled all the legal and administrative matters, and always made sure I understood what was happening. Buying property in another country can often feel complicated, but thanks to their experience and professionalism the whole process felt smooth, secure and very well managed. Communication was always clear and they were quick to respond whenever I had questions. I truly appreciate the support I received from the firm throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend Martínez-Echevarría Abogados to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal assistance in Spain. If I ever need legal help in Spain again, they will definitely be my first choice.

We have used this company with Maria Rubino as our lawyer when buying a property off plan over the last 18 months. We cannot state how highly we valued her support, professionalism and help throughout the buying process. She responded to emails quickly and frequently after hours. She dealt with all the necessary documentation and accommodated us with translations in to English. She helped us when a problem arose. We would highly recommend her. Thank you Maria for all your time and expertise.

I have been cooperating with Martínez-Echevarría Abogados for over a year now. They have helped me with everything related to the purchase of my apartment followed by, opening bank account, reassigning bills for utilities and many many more. Absolutely professional, always responsive and extremely helpful. Special thank you to Klaudia Lipska and Martyna Chamczyk. I can always count on your awesome support and I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend working with Martínez-Echevarría Abogados!!!

I can highly recommend Martinez-Echevarria as a law firm. They have been very efficient in dealing with a real estate sale but not only! They managed very quickly to settle an EML issue with a local bank. If you are looking for a good team of professionals, here is the address. Ask Luis Carbajo, you will appreciate his professionalism and his team!

We bought a property in Marbella on July last 2025. We were so lucky to be introduced to this firm.. Andriy and Laura were a pleasure to work with. They made the whole transaction was made so easy from getting our NIE numbers, banking moving the utilities service provider accounts to our name. Nothing was an issue. We only had to make to visits from Ireland to complete the purchase. We would highly recommend them to anyone intending to purchase a property in Spain. Thank you so much for your helpful and friendly assistance. John and Una

I had a very positive experience with Diaz & Associates, especially with Ignacio, who helped me enormously throughout my visa process. Moving to another country and dealing with immigration procedures can be extremely stressful and complicated, but Ignacio was always professional, responsive, patient, and genuinely supportive. Thanks to their help and guidance, I was able to obtain my visa. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and care they put into my case. I would highly recommend Diaz & Associates to anyone looking for professional and reliable assistance with their visa process. A special thank you to Ignacio for all his help and support!

this firm are great fast and know there stuff young solicitors that are driven to win i recommend them I am the owner of several businesses. These guys sorted out my Visa problem and also acted on a Recovery on a Villa deposit. They also have offices in London and we have visited those as well. I highly recommend these guys.

I highly recommend Lawyer Ignacio Sánchez Giménez. He has been exceptionally helpful throughout the entire process, always available to answer questions and even responding over weekends. His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail inspired complete confidence throughout. I would gladly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

After a horrifying experience with the Home Office and their services in the UK, we decided to seek legal representation in Spain to handle my partner’s visa application. I can confidently say that we could not have chosen a better law firm. From the very first moment, Ignacio reassured us and has supported us every step of the way. He has always been available to answer our questions and address any doubts we had. Given our previous experience, we never expected the process to go so smoothly, and we cannot thank Ignacio enough for his professionalism, dedication, and support. I highly recommend Dias & Asociados and would not hesitate to use their services again should we ever need legal assistance in the future.

I’ve had a great experience working with these guys. They helped me through every step of the process and took care of everything related to my visa application. Ignacio was my point of contact and he was always on hand to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend them. Great service.

Excellent service and reception. My case was very clearly explained in terms of what needs to be done. Thank you, Nacho, for your attention and professionalism.

This is a Scam Company Unprofessional & they lie on their Clients The Manager & the lawyer ( Ignacio ) are unprofessional and the worst people to deal with ! I went their and had meetings with them regarding residency and citizenship files We talked about the details then they asked me to send them some documents to start the process , I sent them all documents requested , and then I asked them I want them to explain to me the way how this process will go , After this question they simply disappeared for more than a month I text them many times , I called them many times They read my msgs and don’t answer or reply They don’t pick up the phone Which means that this people lies on their clients and they aren’t doing things in a legal proper way ! They aren’t professional and Rude and this company is Scam The Worst service ever and not decent people ! NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL !

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.

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€.
