Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. 

I'm looking for a really good lawyer in Albir who speaks English (if possible)  

I have a issue that needs dealing with relating to another lawyer in Albir who has withheld money owing to me following the sale of a property in Calpe. 

The Lawyer in question was sent 19000 euros by me 2 years ago, to cover the charges and shortfall of a mortgage.  At the time I estimated this to be between 2000 and 5000 euros more than was needed. But was told I had to send it to cover the costs. For at least 12 months after the sale I have been trying to get a final statement from the solicitor and a return of my money with no joy. I've emailed over 40 times  i'm telephoned over 20 times just been ignored and fobbed off. For those interested and I would strongly recommend you avoid the following lawyer. 

  • Mr Manuel DuranAvda. El Albir nº 35 
    El Albir

Any one with any advice on how to complain against this Lawyer, or recommend a good lawyer who can fight my case I will be gratefully received.

Regards Martin

Sorry to hear about your problem. 

I used Albir Abogados and they were excellent. I'll continue to use them. The principal is Orlando Torregrosso. Tell him Steve from Beniarbeig recommended you. 

The business community all know each other intimately so I would imagine Orlando will know this solicitor. As to whether they act against each other,  I doubt, but I'm sure he can advise you how to complain/what to do. 

Good luck

Hi

We just bought a house in Sax, and we're recommended to Civils SP in Torrevieja and can't fault the service and communications from them.

They organised everything and got our NIE numbers as well.

My wife is an Estate Agent and has will be looking to sell Spanish properties and would definitely recommend these lawyers to any one.

Well partly, i got hold of an excellent lawyer who has managed to sort out some of the tax we were owed - we are now starting to build a case against the dodgy lawyer !!!
