Abad Lawyers & Accountants

"Best All Round! Best Price, Best Advice, Best Service. I emailed 7 well known solicitors in the area with my residency denied due to my marriage certificate being out of date. They were the only ones that actually gave me the correct advice and solved the issue without me needing to starting the process from the beginning. And their prices are realistic. Thank you Abad!"

"Definitely recommend Chris and his team! After a very stressful and disappointing experience with a previous lawyer, including missed deadlines and poor communication, working with this team was a complete game changer. From the very first contact, they were incredibly responsive, clear, and reassuring. They understand how the Spanish immigration system works. After months of getting nowhere with our previous lawyer, they managed to secure an appointment for us almost immediately. What impressed us most was Chris' and Maria's professionalism and care throughout the entire process: they accompanied us to every appointment, reminded us what to bring, arrived with all documents perfectly organised (including copies for everything for the entire family), kept us informed at every stage, and followed up proactively as things progressed. When one route turned out not to be viable, they quickly adjusted strategy to handle a more complex path, and focused on finding the best solution rather than creating more stress. Thanks to them, the exhausting and frustrating process of getting Spanish residency ended up being smooth, clear, and successful. If you are looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive immigration lawyers, I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them. We are incredibly grateful for their help!!!"

"worked with them to obtain my NIE. Very professional, quick response, and got an appointment in less than two weeks. What's more, even though it wasn't included in the price, he helped me obtain my social security number. Always attentive and ready to help. Works in English/Spanish. I highly recommend him."

"We had the most frustrating experience and found it to be an inefficient service with zero communication - in the last ten months from January to October 2024 - filled with unnecessary delays and lack of information. Our first meeting with our solicitor at their Los Alcazares office went well (regarding the sale of our Hacienda Riequelme golf resort apartment). Our solicitor did not inform us that we had exchanged contracts; nor that the sales proceeds had arrived from the buyer in Spain. In our experience from 23rd January to 10th October, only after many unanswered emails and unanswered several phone calls later - from London to Spain - did we receive our sales proceeds - in three extremely slow stages. These delays were not only due to third parties, such as the Spanish tax office returning refunds; but, essentially due to the response time by Abad Abogados legal firm in dealing with the matter. All legal information & sales proceeds requested was eventually provided with severe delays, compared to response times expected in London."

"Abad, Spanish Residency Application Support ! We have used Abad Los Alcazares for some years & recently we asked for assistance in applying for residency here in Spain. Abad offered to assist with our Government Visa documentation & T.i.E application to the Spanish authorities successfully. The assistance & support given by Abad in all aspects of this process was outstanding & we would like to thank all at Abad for their assistance. Especially Chris Kirston, who with the support of the Abad management & local team, made what seemed a difficult process easy & did so quickly & efficiently."

"My wife and I used Abad Lawers & Accountants (Solicitors) to get back a deposit we had paid for an off-plan apartment in Spain. We had paid our deposit and the apartment was never built. We were convinced that we would never see a cent from our deposit. Javier from the above solicitors firm succeeded in getting our deposit returned in full plus interest from the bank where our money was deposited. We can not give Javier enough credit for the work he did. We certainly could not ask for any more. We believe they are the best in Spain. They were pleasant and kept us well informed and explained everything to us.We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them as solicitors. Frank and Mary, Ireland."

"As a British National living in Spain I have found this company to be the most approachable and professional of any I have dealt with in Spain or the UK. Nothing is too much trouble and they have an extremely profound knowledge and understanding of the law in Spain as it relates to real estate. This includes but is not limited to a deep appreciation of corporate law, something often absent from the portfolio of other lawyers. This enables them to build 'bulletproof' cases against developers, banks and others who think they can get away with anything less than doing things the proper way. I have mainly dealt with the principal and another senior lawyer in the firm, both of whom also speak excellent English. I know many people fear finding a reputable lawyer in Spain however in 6 years of dealing with Abad I do not have one negative issue, cross word or failing of any kind to report. They have offered advice on many issues both within their assigned remit and beyond which has proven to be correct time and again. While we still have one or two matters outstanding I have the ultimate faith and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Abad carried out the conveyancing on our property in a friendly and professional way, assisting in all aspects of the purchase. The office staff and the legal team are all very friendly and helpful. We still continue to use their services to do our Spanish tax returns and if we ever need any further legal or financial assistance in the future we now know who to contact."
