Family Lawyer and Mediator<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

I am a qualified lawyer, bar member n\u00ba 1595 of the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Orihuela and member of the Spanish Association of Family Lawyers (AEAFA).
Before opening my legal firm in Torrevieja, I spent over 8years litigating across Spanish courts from my base in Madrid (bar n\u00ba 78,344). Since then, I have spent more than 20 years focused almost exclusively on family law and inheritance cases in this area. <\/p>\n

I work in Spanish and English. Every case is handled by me directly. No hand-offs, no junior associates. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
