Court Proceedings in Torrevieja: you will never feel lost in the legal process
Going to court can be intimidating: unfamiliar language, strict deadlines, hearings and documents that seem written for someone else. We represent you before civil, labour, criminal and administrative courts, explain every step in your language and defend your interests with full commitment — so you always know where you stand.
We know how it feels
A court case should not take over your life
Receiving a lawsuit, a summons or a court notification often brings anxiety and many questions: What happens now? How long will it take? What are my chances? Do I need to attend? For foreign clients, the Spanish judicial system can feel even more distant.
For more than 25 years we have represented national and international clients before the courts of the Costa Blanca. We prepare every case carefully, keep you informed after every step and tell you honestly when an agreement is better than a long trial.
“In court, we speak for you. Outside court, we speak with you.”

Frequently asked questions
Questions about court proceedings
I have received a lawsuit or a court notification. What should I do?
Do not ignore it. Court notifications have deadlines to respond, and missing them can seriously harm your position. Send it to us as soon as possible and we will explain what it means and what to do.
How long does a court case take in Spain?
It depends on the type of proceeding, the complexity of the case and the workload of the court. Some cases are resolved in a few months, while others take longer. We give you a realistic estimate and keep you informed of every development.
Do I have to attend court in person?
Not always. In many proceedings your lawyer and court representative (procurador) can act on your behalf. In some cases, such as when you must testify, your presence may be required, and sometimes it can be done by video conference. We tell you in advance.
What if I do not speak Spanish?
You have the right to an interpreter in court when necessary. In addition, our multilingual team explains every document and every step to you in your language.
Is it better to reach an agreement or go to trial?
It depends on your case. An agreement is often faster, cheaper and less stressful, but not if it means giving up what is fair. We give you an honest recommendation so you can decide with full information.
What happens if I lose? Can I appeal?
In most cases, yes. If the judgment is not favourable, we analyse whether there are grounds for appeal and explain the options, costs and chances before you decide.
