We found our dream home in Spain ,what we needed was to find the right person to guide us through the process .We found Consuelo from Advocates abroad who was absolutely amazing. Always kept in touch with us regarding updates on the process , not only sending us all the information but explaining it clearly and concisely so we understood None of our questions was left unanswered .She pushed the vendors agents for answers so as to not leave any open issues. Even to the extent of sorting out the utility contracts etc. Sorted out all the Notary and gestoria for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Consuelo as a representative for any legal proceedings . Post the successful conclusion of the purchase i felt that Consuelo had acted not just a lawyer but had acted as a friend as well . Will definitely use Consuelo's services again if required

I was moving to Spain with my family from the UK and applying for the required vias. Any house move can be stressful but moving overseas significantly adds to the stress. I contacted Maria-José @advocates abroad to assist me. Maria-José was thoroughly professional, very knowledgeable, easy to contact and always available to help and reassure me. Maria-José provided essential details I was unaware of, as a result each and every stage of the process was completed swiftly with no issues. On arriving in Spain, she also made appointments with all the relevant authorities on our behalf and thereafter accompanied my family to the appointments. I would highly recommend the service provided by Maria-José. I have no doubt I will now continue to use Maria-José in relation to any legal matters I have, now I am a resident in Spain.

I needed a lawyer since I got in trouble with getting a money refund after cancelling a car reservation due to a fraudulent information posted in the internet by the car dealer. I then contacted Advocate Abroad and my case was followed by Maria, one of the lawyers of the team. Thanks to her action I was able to get back in few days a relevant part of the money and this I consider an absolute success. When dealing with Maria I built the strong opinion that she is a smart, excellent and reliable professional, coming quickly to the point of the matter. I would absolutely recommend her and Advocate Abroad in the future to friends who could need legal support in Spain, and I would myself contact them again in case of need.

I needed taxation and legal advice regarding my business operations in Spain and abroad and was referred to Miguel. Miguel took the time to understand the scenarios and questions that I had and provided me with clear, easy to understand advice as well as a range of options that I could consider for the future. I have dealt with a few "taxation professionals" in Spain and Miguel was by far the most professional and personable - I remain deeply impressed by the service I was given, so much so that I will be instructing Miguel's office to handle all of my taxation affairs. I highly recommend Miguel to everyone seeking expert legal and taxation advice and support - Five Stars across the board!

This Summer my client Albert had a problem with the Catalan Bank Caixa - his mortgage account was blocked and he lost the ability to pay mortgage installments. As a lawyer from Russia, I could't solve this problem on my own and turned to lawyers from AA. Maria Umbert was the first to respond and I concluded an agreement with her on providing legal assistance to my client. As a result, this problem was solved thanks to the highest professionalism and outstanding perseverance of Maria. Both my client Albert and I are completely satisfied with the quality of her work and are deeply grateful to her. And if in the future I need legal assistance in Spain, I will definitely turn to Maria Humbert

Once I made my decision to come to Portugal from Australia, my next step was to find an immigration lawyer, I really had a guess on who to use and I didn’t know anyone who could recommend me one…. After some Google search, I found Tiago. He helped me more than I could have possibly imagined. From the first day to the end… I received my residence card so quickly, it was such a smooth process… If I have a question, Tiago still promptly replies in a caring fashion months after I had finished with his services. I have referred one other person to Tiago, they were equally amazed how caring and helpful he was.

Me & my wife started planning to relocate to Portugal on D7 Visa in Sept 2022. We started our research to find an advocate to guide us. We discussed with 4 companies including from a popular firm on Expats forum and shortlisted Tiago Gomes. His professional attitude, skillful guidance, customer friendly approach & process insight enabled us to shift to Portugal in 4 months from thought to reality. Tiago’s helping hand in Bank account opening Rent Contract review, facilitating Consulate Visa & SEF interview were key steps to our success. We wish Tiago & AdvocateAbroad a great success ahead.

From the first phonecall to introduce herself and obtain information regarding my needs Consuelo was excellent and very professional. She made the process of obtaining my residency in Spain stress free from start to finish. My application required me to register for Pareja de hecho and Consuelo guided me through the requirements and carried out the registration and all paperwork needed for my application of residency. She kept me informed at all stages of the process and was efficient in responding to any questions. Without hesitation I would use the services of Consuelo in the future.

Tiago helped us with all the steps of our D7 residency process and was absolutely great. He was structured, responsive, knowledgable and very friendly and easy to work with. He was available via phone call for our VFS appointment in London and travelled to be at our SEF appointment with us in person to ensure everything went smoothly. I got the sense he really cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. We weren’t sure that using a lawyer would be needed or worth it, but we’re really glad we did and would definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommend!

I had an issue with a travel company based in Spain and I wrote to a bunch of Spanish law firms I found online to try to assist in the matter. Advocate Abroad was the only one to put me in touch with a lawyer to discuss my case. Raffaele was very honest, straightforward, and clear about the process and odds. I since got money back from the company which I probably wouldn't have gotten if I hadn't used Raffaele's services. Thank you very much to him, and to the Advocate Abroad network.

After an exhaustive search to find a lawyer who knew exactly how to help us with our civil partnership in Spain we got in touch with Advocate Abroad who placed us with Inmaf. From our very first conversation with Inmaf our frustrations melted away and we felt very confident in her knowledge and service. She guided us through the process with such ease and professionalism and kept us informed along the way. Inmaf is now our lawyer and we have already recommended her to our friends.

I had wonderful experience using the services of Advocate Abroad. I was interested in buying property in Greece, so from day one onwards the lawyer who took my case - Joanna Chaika, provided incredible input and expertise. I received great support from her in all possible stages and challenges throughout the process. I don't think I could manage to successfully finalise everything without her. I'd definitely recommend Joanna and would trust her judgement again in the future cases.

After bad luck with other law firms, I hired Raffaele at Advocate Abroad to help get my deposit back from a rental agency. He was absolutely fabulous to work with: responsive to communication, professional, knowledgeable, persistent and effective. He helped me get almost all of what I was due returned to me in a very short time with his great negotiation skills. I am prepared to hire him or his firm again when I need help purchasing a property. Thank you, Raffale.

I recently logged into Advocates abroad regarding a Visa Issue for Greece, I was put in touch with Maria. The issue I was facing was due to a new type of Digital Nomad Visa for Greece. Maria made contact with me very quickly, took all the details and made extensive enquiries on my behalf, both at the local Immigration Department, as well as the Embassy, and soon came back with a solution which I successfully followed. Thank you Maria, highly recommended.

I am an international student and had some issues with my apartment rental company. Oscar provided a very good service, helping me to leave the residence I was staying at and provide me with good advice that gave me a feeling of safety that everything would be okay. His communication is very well and he is also very reachable, he responds within 12h/evenings/weekends. I would definitely recommend him to others that have property rental issues!

My partner and I were interested in relocating to Portugal and we were lucky to find Advocate Abroad. We worked with Tiago and our experience was incredible. He was attentive to our needs, knowledgable and compassionate. He helped us the entire way through the process. I can't imagine going through the visa process without his assistance. We would recommend Advocate Abroad to anyone applying for a visa in another country.

I highly recommend Tiago, he went over and beyond with his services to help us to relocate to Portugal. He was very prompt to reply back to us and to get any given task done. He was always available for our many questions and always made us feel comfortable and reassured. Additionally, he is a wonderful, nice and professional person, who really knows his work as a Laywer.... we had a exceptional experience with Tiago !!!

We were lucky to have our lawyer Tiago assist us with the property purchase in Portugal. He is friendly, committed, meticulous, and patient…. He is just PERFECT! We do not speak a single word of Portuguese or know anything about buying a property in the country. However, with Tiago’s professional help, we had nothing to worry about throughout the process. We would strongly recommend his service to anyone 

I hired Yasin at Advocate Abroad to help us, me and my wife, to get a police clearance certificate from Turkey. He helped us in every step, including dealing with the Turkish consulate and notary. Besides being responsive and committed, he is friendly and goes above and beyond for his clients. We highly recommend this service. We are grateful for his dedication and excellent service. Thank so mush Yasin

My wife and I are in the process of moving to Portugal and thank goodness we found Tiago. He has been simply amazing, going above and beyond what anyone could expect from a lawyer. Not only is he diligent, a great communicator and a consummate professional who really knows the law, but he is also kind, considerate and just an all round lovely person. Thanks so much, we couldn't have done it without you.

I recently had to contact Advocate Abroad to track down my original marriage certificate from when I married in Zante in 2003. I was put in touch with a lady named Maria who was very helpful and she managed to work on my behalf and she obtained my certificate and forwarded this to me. I am extremely grateful for all her help ad the Foreign office here in the UK was not at all helpful.

Worked with Oscar and he helped me with everything and any further questions I had, he was happy to help. He's always thinking outside of the box and seeing what I could do and gave me his opinion on what I wanted done. Very transparent the entire time whilst being very accomodating and understanding my problem. If you want your problem solved, I can't recommend this guy further!

Gracias Consuelo! La atención y la rapidez con la que se comunicó con nosotros excelente, nos mantuvo al tanto de todos los procesos para hacer nuestra residencia, y nos explicó el paso a paso, también la buena predisposición de Valeria a las dos muchas Gracias! Sin duda cualquier tema legal volvería a contratar sus servicios. Por la eficiencia y la tranquilidad que nos inspira.

I had the pleasure to meet Elsa through Advocate Abroad. She helped me with the purchase of my condo in Lisbon. Elsa was very efficient, kind and experimented. She reviewed all the property documents and attended the closing with me so she could explain the content of the deed that was, of course written in Portuguese. I would hire Elsa again for my next real estate transaction.

We have had a great experience. Inma has worked very hard to get our visa application through at the Spanish consulate in England. And within 10 days of arriving in Spain through great difficulty with appointments for padron and TIE we now have everything done. Amazing job Inma. We would always recommend and we will definitely be using you again. Sandra and Vincent Jackson

I don't recommend advocate abroad for any serious legal matters. I dealt with their lawyer in portugal, and with their customer support. They all showed an unprofessional and discriminative attitude. It's evident they are a one-penny company, and despite the consistent fees they ask, they can't provide anything but a one-penny service. Regards

Advocate Abroad provides a brief summary of each lawyer’s specialties so Rosa seemed an obvious choice for what I needed. She was always professional, was able to explain the Mallorcan processes clearly and helped us to navigate all the paperwork. I would recommend Rosa and will be using her services again in the future.

Our lawyer, Inma did a great job with helping us solve a purchase we made with a dishonest car dealer in Spain. She was very honest with us from the start, always responded on time, and dealt with a very difficult character on the other party and managed to close the case with success. We highly recommend this service.

I used the services of Mr Yasin Gokalp in Istanbul. I found that he went well above what I expected and provided the best of service, answering our needs in a fraction of the time that I had expected. He was professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer based in Türkiye.

Our Lawyer, Tiago has been outstanding in guiding and leading us throughout the entire Visa process and legal support in buying the property. He is responsive, committed, friendly and goes above and beyond to get things done. We are fortunate to have him as our lawyer and a good friend in Portugal.

I would like to say that Cansu was absolutely amazing, she was very fast and efficient with my urgent situation, everything was sorted in literally 2-3 days and i received my documents the next day. I cant thank Cansu and her team enough, great service, will recommend to anyone. Thank you

My lawyer Oscar Vaello has provided me with excellent advice and guidance on several occasions in mediation, divorce, and property issues. He is knowledgeable, reliable and always quick to respond - I will not hesitate to turn to him in the future. I am happy to recommend his services.

The best lawyer I've worked with in Barcelona. After several contacts with other law firms who were inadequate, I was THRILLED with the help I got for my landlord problem from Raffaele at Advocate Abroad. He was a great communicator and did the job I requested of him. Wonderful.

Tiago is an excellent laywer, he literally walked us through our residency status until completion and without a hiccup. He is friendly, approachable and very professional. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation in Portugal at a reasonable cost.

Very impressed with this service. Having a reliable expert to guide us through the process of owning a house in Spain was invaluable. Even though we never met Consuelo in person, communication was clear and everything went smoothly.

Francesca was excellent. She guided me every step of the way through my property purchase. Not only the highest standard of professionalism but also happy to go above and beyond with a smile. Can't recommend Advocate abroad enough.

José en Alicante me ayudó a guiarme en el proceso de venta de mi apartamento allí y lo hizo con tranquilidad, autoridad y gran conocimiento de los requisitos legales. ¡Justo lo que desea en un abogado inmobiliario!
