Do you have a legal question that needs answering by an English-speaking
Lawyer in Spain?

Dear Diego, I was over the moon with your email explaining we had won the court case against the bank. I have to say I had gone through several different channels before meeting you, without even getting a response from the bank and then I saw your advertisement and decided to contact you. From the very beginning, you were very professional and explained to me after going through the bank statements that there was a case to answer totalling roughly 6,000 euros for which your fees would be 10% if they settled or 20% if the case went to court and also no fees upfront. After my previous experiences paying 500 euros and no responses I found this to be a great opportunity and one which has paid dividends. Diego, I can’t thank you enough and will not hesitate to recommend clients to you in the future. Kind regards, Raymond Small 

Diego Echavarria has been representing many of my clients – both buyers and vendors – for over 17 years. He’s a consummate and highly competent in many other areas of law and very respected by all who have the pleasure of being represented by this LEGAL EAGLE. If anyone out there wants Five Star service, you have got to call Diego and you’ll end up being a client for life. And any of you real estate agents reading this should sit down and have a coffee with him sometime and you’ll be impressed and even more happy when you hear your clients raving thanking you for the introduction.

Top man! I have known Diego for years. He is a very competent lawyer and very trustworthy.

My husband and I highly recommend Diego Echavarria as an immigration lawyer. We first connected with him from abroad in August last year and explained our situation and requirements for moving to Spain. We needed to apply for residency by 31 December 2020 and only arrived in Spain in November (My husband has a British passport and I have a South African). He requested the necessary documentation and information and assured us that all the requirements necessary for the process had been met. Throughout the process Diego was always available for any questions or concerns, promptly replied to messages and phone calls. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We are more than satisfied with Diego’s professionalism, knowledge, willingness to assist, constant communication and would not hesitate to recommend him for any legal services.

I am grateful to Diego and Fairway Lawyers for helping me and my wife with the application for the TIE card just before Brexit. It was a big relief to have full confidence in the lawyer to make sure all the paperwork was processed on time and correctly. We feel much safer in Spain having the TIE card, especially with all the Brexit changes happening in Spain in the current circumstances with so many restrictions and a curfew in place…

Great company to have on your side when dealing with property sales in Spain, sorted all taxes and refunds when due. Went the extra mile especially during the Covid epidemic. Many thanks to Diego and team.

Thanks to Diego and the immigration team at Fairway Lawyers we were able to move from Dubai to Spain. It was not easy as the Spanish Embassy did not help at all but in the end Diego found a way to bring all the family to Spain in the middle of the pandemic. All the family have settled in Madrid and my son is studying at school. Once again thanks for all your efforts and enthusiasm to achieve the goal.

I would not hesitate in recommending Fairway Lawyers, and Diego in particular. They successfully challenged a clausula suelo (interest rate floor clause) in our mortgage and achieved a substantial out of court settlement. The clause was also removed resulting in a large reduction in mortgage repayments. We had to do very little as virtually all the work was carried out by Diego and his team directly.

Dear Diego, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the assistance in Spain sorting through the paperwork and taking the time to clarify. Also most importantly retrieving the money I had overpaid the bank on my mortgage because the bank had not adjusted the interest for seven years. The two friends I recommended you, have since thanked me too.

We would like to express how delighted we are with the service from Diego Echavarria and Fairway Lawyers. Over the years Diego has enabled us to get our Residence and Health Cards, write wills for us, and purchase and sell a house, all without absolute ease. Diego took away a great deal of stress on our behalves and enabled a smooth and effortless process on every occasion. This is testament to their level of helpfulness, knowledge and professionalism to see the job through to the end, and with a satisfactory result on every occasion. We would not hesitate to recommend Diego and Fairway Lawyers to others.

Diego helped me and my girlfriend go through several complicated steps, getting our Spanish residencies as foreigners, and ‘pareja de hecho’. We are very grateful to him for his work, advice and support. And now we can live in Spain as we originally dreamed! Without him we could never have achieved the Spanish residency for both of us.

Anita and I would like to thank you for all the help, support and guidance you have given over the years. Not just your legal advice which has always has been first class, but your sympathy and understanding during some extremely distressing times. We have come to regard you not as our lawyer but as our friend. We hope your business continues to go from strength to strength, and your family enjoy good health and happiness. All our love and best wishes.
