What our clients say about us?

Friendly and efficient… When contemplating buying property in Spain, the main concern is to be given good clear legal advice. No one wants to get it wrong with large financial investments and we have all heard the horror stories! Luis and his entire team have always been great, since I first met him in the late nineties. It is the complete, efficient but friendly service, starting with advice on purchasing but continuing on afterwards helping out with community and utility bills and translation of odd documents that turn up in the post! I have happily recommended him several times over the years and continue to do so.

Tom Allsworth, Kent (UK)

We want to thank you for all the help at our home sales. You have a professionally way taken this ”mission”! We are very pleased that we chose your law firm. Thanks for all the help!

Michael Nevrin, Malmö (Sweden)

V & O Abogados has helped me over the last 15 years with everything from daily questions to buying properties in the Marbella area and dealing with all of the legal documents that come with this to renting my properties and arranging for all of my taxes to be dealt with in a professional and efficient manner. The staff is always friendly and reliable and deal with everything immediately and are always available to give their advice. I look forward to many more years of benefiting from V & O’s expertise and help whenever it is needed. I would recommend them 100% to anyone else looking for the services offered.

Darren Anderton, Poole (UK)

We have been dealing with Luis Vicente from V & O Abogados in Marbella since 1997. In this time we have purchased 3 properties using his expertise, and consulted with him on many other issues relating to a Spanish Will, Escrituras, and other Property related matters. We have found the practice to be extremely professional, very organised, and always helpful in immediately answering any of our queries–‐ even our utility and water bills. He has a dedicated team that works with him, that are all very helpful, and efficient. We have no hesitation, in recommending Luis Vicente and his team to any other property purchasers.

Rosalind Lambert & Alan Maxwell, Edinburgh (UK)

Luis M Vicente Burgos has acted as our Solicitor for the past ten years. During this period we have purchased and sold property under their guidance. Our experience with Luis Vicente has been totally satisfactory in all our dealings with the Firm. We have at all times found the Staff who dealt with us most cordial, affable and effective. The Firm also defended us successfully when a neighbour took a spurious legal action against us.

Pat & Bridget Dineen, Dungarvan (Ireland)

Earlier this year we purchased a property in Spain, and found V & O Lawyers service excellent. Luis listened to all my questions, explained procedures and choices fully and in a way which was easy to understand. We felt extremely safe and well-cared for during our purchase. Our English notary actually commented on his efficiency. Luis also kept notary costs down by providing extra translated documents. The care continued once we signed for the property, as his staff followed through by arranging bill payments via our bank. Actually V & O Lawyers made the whole purchase easy and continue to do so. We will certainly use them again, and would recommend them.

Maria Carlstrom, London (UK)

I have owned a residential property in Spain since 1981 and in 1997/8, I purchased a new apartment in the development known as Monte Paraiso where Luis Vicente and his company acted in the purchase and then the eventual sale of said apartment in 2005. They then handled all of the negotiations on my behalf for a building plot I purchased in Andalucia on the Las Brisas golf course – they also handled all negotiations with the construction company who built the property for me. Luis Vicente and his company have assisted me on numerous occasions over the years including the sale of golf shares and other financial advice. I have no hesitation in recommending their efficiency and highly professional approach.

Alan Fitzpatrick, Warwick (UK)

As an overseas person doing business in Spain it can be quiet daunting at times especially when I don,t speak Spanish. Luis Vicente and his company V & O Abogados have represented me on legal matters since I first did business in Spain back in 1999, In the intervening years his staff have assisted me with various cases, some straightforward some, well, not so straightforward, but at all times I must say their standard of assistance and efficiency in my view are second to none. I do commend both Luis and his staff for their high level of professionalism.
