Advocate Abroad Reviews 

Inma was very helpful and answered questions clearly. Good advice and went above and beyond.with regards to ending a tenancy.

This is the second time I have seen Oscar, he is able to communicate well in English, his promptness in reply is notable as is his efficiency.

We needed a professional advice concerning a lease contract for an appartment in Portugal. Jorge Sampaio Ferreira, our lawyer, helped us during a video call in an excellent manner. His advice was to the point and prevented us from stepping into a contract that might have turned out quite desastrous. We also highly appreciated his communication via e-mail before and after the video call. He took much effort to write out his comments on the contract and send them to us the day after the call. Also should be mentioned that his command of the English language is excellent. It was above all very nice to speak with Jorge and he managed to give us a reassured feeling.

Juan was incredibly professional and proactive. He managed to meet a very tight deadline not only on time but also without any stress or frustration. I found myself more stressed than he was while he handled all the work.

He put me at ease throughout the process, explaining everything clearly and easily. Juan always took the time to answer any questions we had.

I contacted Sorina over a case of fraudulent documents. Sorina was quick to understand my needs and offered an efficient solution. She took the time to explain everything I needed to know and also to listen to me. She was quick in answering emails. Extremely professional with her knowledge and very pleasant to talk to. Would absolutely recommend.

Advocate Abroad - a comprehensive and user-friendly platform, matched me with, Francisca, an attorney in Valencia. I would give Francisca 100 stars if possible. I have had 3 attorneys total in Spain, and she is by far and away the best. Her English is greats; she is attentive & promptly answers texts/emails; and she always strives to give me a consultation appointment as soon as possible. Additionally, she is highly knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. Francisca always makes our consultations about my needs and how she can help me achieve them. She is also extremely personable and gave me excellent legal and personal advice on a bad situation I was having. Out of all my attorneys, she finally got the matter resolved, and I am thrilled with her work. I highly recommend Advocate Abroad, and Francisca in particular.

Tonia provided excellent service in handling my case.
Was professional and skilled in her area, working efficiently and tirelessly through all the requirements and complexities needed to complete matters with the tax authorities.
I would highly recommend Tonia, for her professionalism and ability to deliver results.

Professional Lawyer, pleasant to deal with. Straightforward. Made everything feel easy.

Excellent service as always

Giovanni Luca was truly brilliant throughout the entire process of my house purchase in Italy. Not only was he incredibly responsive all the time but provided excellent advice and service. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who is looking for legal assistance.

Constantinos in Nicosia was assigned my case and he was efficient, quick & the cost for his service was very reasonable. If you require any similar services that Advocate Abroad offer, I can highly recommend them.

Great help and valuable advices about the local property market. Saved me a lot of time for research and provided the needed assistant.

Sorina was a great help. I had no luck finding a solution to my issue with Australian documents, but within hours Sorina had confirmed she could help and what she required to do so. Outstanding communication throughout; very happy with the service.

I highly recommend Avv. Giovanni Annicchino.
He is professional, knowledgeable, and communication was very smooth.

His responsiveness truly made a difference. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and dedicated attorney, he is an excellent choice.

A huge thank you to Jose for his incredible support during my recent complicated house sale. At several points, it felt like the deal might fall through due to external obstructions, but jose's perseverance and pragmatic approach were invaluable. He was always available to answer my many questions with patience and expertise at any time of day even at midnight he was always working to move things along, His professionalism restored my faith in the legal process; he was by far the most efficient solicitor to have working for me , he did absolutely everything for me from start to finish and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, without him I would still be tied to a Spanish property that I had no interest in and was causing me a lot of stress and worry,

Inma & Jose were easy to deal with, and clearly stepped out the process to get our residency renewals processed. Very good to communicate with, and everything went smoothly!

Jorge was very communicative and proactive in giving me updates regarding my case. He was well informed and helped me feel confident in what to expect. I would recommend him to anyone needing a true professional that keeps their word.

Everything went as Juan described: I provided documents he had listed out, he took care of the rest, no back and forth. Plus, he also led the communication at the National Police Station. Thank you!

I was assigned Maria Segura for a property rental dispute and, honestly, I expected far better service. After spending hundreds of pounds on letters and initial steps, the communication quickly became a major issue. Replies routinely took around two weeks, usually accompanied by different excuses, and I found myself constantly chasing for updates.

Although Maria was quick to take payment and begin the initial work, the responsiveness dropped off almost immediately afterwards. For a legal matter where timely guidance is essential, this level of communication simply isn’t acceptable. I also expected more in terms of professional advice and strategic insight. Instead, most of the correspondence focused on costs and procedural steps, with very little meaningful guidance or opinion on the case itself.

The lack of consistent communication and limited advisory input ultimately left me with no confidence in continuing with the service. I also reached out to AA directly for support regarding these issues, but they never intervened or addressed any of the concerns I raised about one of their own solicitors.

Based on my experience, I can’t recommend AA for anyone who needs reliable communication or proactive legal support.

EDIT: I have since seen Advocate Abroads reply it's in line with every other reply whereby people have not been happy wihyt their service. They seem to place all blame with the client.

I need to clarify that at no stage was I informed about delays, holiday closures, or the need for me to seek out further information myself. I was never told to expect long periods without communication, nor was I given any indication that progress would pause for weeks at a time.
You also refer to the review of over 500 documents as part of the explanation for delays, but this work was completed within the first week of instruction. The matter then continued for several months with no clear progress and without any explanation for the lack of communication.
In addition, I did not receive the legal guidance or strategic advice you describe. What I received were procedural updates and cost information, but no meaningful professional assessment of the case, its strengths, weaknesses, or recommended direction. For the fees involved, this level of support is simply not good enough.
While I acknowledge the preliminary steps completed, the absence of communication, the lack of legal guidance, and the failure to set expectations were the reasons I lost confidence in continuing. My review accurately reflects my experience

Efficient and straightforward help
It was helpful and reassuring for me to get advice in excellent English which made the situation clearer
