Initial Review
Service: Immigration support for work permit, renewal, and long-term residency
I did 3 processes with Claudia: I moved from a student pass to a residence card for work on someone else's account, then renewed it, and later did the long-term residence in Spain. It’s a process that usually takes a lot of time and ambiguous documents, but she asked me for what I needed, helped me get it, gave me constant advice, and was always there by message, call, or Google Meet, showing me the laws so I felt super, super calm. In my first process the Foreign Office made a mistake with the rate and asked me for another one, and she justified with the rule why my rate was correct so it didn’t delay my case and everything flowed very well. The later processes were much faster - the long-term was answered positive in less than a month - she is very perfectionist and very human and personalized, even contacting at night when something urgent came up, and the price felt adequate.

Initial Review
Service: Immigration legal assistance securing humanitarian residency, NIE renewal support
I come from a very complex migratory process in Europe and honestly I owe them my life. With España Abogados I got human treatment and an effective resolution for a very, very complex case - they helped me understand how Spain works, how to handle myself here economically, and even reminded me about renewing my NIE, and I’m staying with them to do citizenship next. I first met them by video call from Italy, now I keep in touch by phone and WhatsApp, and I’ve sent a lot of people because they are serious and honest, not selling illusions when a new regulation pops up. Price felt fair for the quality.

Initial Review
Service: Corporate legal, HR, labor, immigration, and accounting services
I’ve been working with Maria Fernanda’s Cigarran office for many years on corporate legal issues, human resources and labor matters, immigration, and even accounting, both personally and for my business. They are a small office, very available, meticulous when they evaluate and work on a case, and they answer fast. Prices feel fair, sometimes even cheap for what they do, and I really value that they tell you at the beginning if something is outside their scope so you don’t waste time. I’m very satisfied and I recommend them without any problem.
