Afternoon.
Looking for a slicitor or jestor or agency that deals with Spanish immigration issues........
Any ideas pls???

Hi
Try the gestor, Chico on the triangle off the main road as you turn into Jesus.
He speaks English, which is one hell of a help if your Spanish is not up to scratch.
Have mentioned him before on the Forum.

Hi, can you give us the telephone number of the English-speaking solicitor please?

We have been pleased with the service and advice provided by Ton Batlle Artal in Tarragona (I think) . All contact has been by email in good English and he is doing our house purchase at a fixed price. PM me for an email address.

Thanks but we need an English-speaking solicitor in Tortosa. Does anyone know one?

I might be mistaken but I think Ton Batlle either is based or has an office in Tortosa.

avoid joan navarro cabrera of 24 sant blai. He is a liar a cheat and a thief . I have denounced him and a judge is now looking at it.

What process do you go through to denounce someone who has caused you grief and great expense??? What happens to the person you denounce??

To denounce someone you go to to your local police station (in our case Tortosa) and denounce them there.  In Tortosa there is a room through the main door and off to the right (don't worry about the queues they are for registrations) - just go right in.  There is a door with 'Denuncias' on it - knock and someone will answer - you may need to wait if they are busy.

You make a statement (in Spanish) which they write down, print out - you sign, they sign and you get a copy which includes a reference number should you need to refer back to it.

That's basically it - after that I guess you take it to a solicitor to do whatever you or he deems is necessary. If the matter is criminal then the police will (read should/might) follow it up, if it's civil then it's probably up to you.

Ton Battle does not have an office in Tortosa. His office is in Tarragona. He is a partner in a large solicitors' practice called AGL. It is well worth driving to Tarragona and not be too fidgety with someone being based in Tortosa as to my knowledge there isn't a good English speaking solicitor around here. I can recommend Ton wholeheartedly. We have used him in the past and are still seeking his advice on other matters.

www.solicitorsinspain.com is a different practice in Tarragona. The English solicitor there needs somewhat getting used to and you are better off with the Spanish partner. Jonathan himself can be rather abrupt and also he is massively busy and sometimes not communicating. He does know the Spanish legal system inside out though and speaks perfect Catalan!

We used Eshkeri & Grau and found them wanting in many areas.  Cost us a lot of money and worry as they seemed more interested in getting more business from the other party (Catalan)  Money went missing and to this day do not know where it is or where it went.  I would not use them again.  Just be careful when Black money is involved.

Hi I have tried to email Ton Battle at AGL but my emails are returned to me.  As I am in the UK at the moment I cannot drive there.  When I return to Spain I don't fancy driving to Tarragona if the Company has closed.  Has anybody any uptodate information please.
Thanks

Hi,
This is the e.mail address for Ton Batlle who speaks perfect English, is reliable and very helpful.
The office of AGL, is in Tarragona, but sometimes he comes out to Tortosa, to see clients, go to Notary offices etc.
tbatlle@agl.es
Any problem I will get in contact with him on your behalf, if you wish.

Hi that was a quick answer didn't expect that.  I do need to contact him but cannot understan about the emails even my son tried as he is at work today and his mail was returned.  Does everything shut off on a Saturday?  I know strange things happen in Espana.  I DO need to contact him but how do we do it should I put my details on the forum?
Thanks

If you look at Ritas spelling and then yours it is different.
Use Ritas advice,copy the address given and you should have no problem.
Ton is a good guy (one of very few).

This is the latest address I have for Ton :- tbatlle@agl.es
Yes, he is in Tortosa quite often.  Suggest meet at the Mini Bar.

hi all,are there any good solicitors other than eshgeri and grau or vahusari and co, both in tarragona,
i have had dealings with both and what a nightmare,does anybody know of a solicitor in the area that can be trusted and who will actually speak rather than by email
how can important issues be discussed by mail,   :-/
im totally puzzled by the legal system over there,also after the problems i have had i can fully understand why they are always so busy  >:(

Give David Pique a try in Miami Plaja.We appealed against the police and a judge and won......He speaks good English
977 172 939
977 390 774

We have used Ton Battle, several times in Tarragona.
Always returns phone calls, and is very helpful.
Speaks English.
Has sometimes travelled out to Tortosa and met us there.
Phone number: 977218633

hi everybody,thanks for the info,i hope it helps,
the company i have now seem to be treating me like the condemned man ,i think because i didnt use a solicitor in the purchase of my property ,seems like that to me anyway,
in catalunya you are guilty until proven innocent, i cant even go after my scumbag estate agent until i am in the clear ,
after 5 yrs she could be anywhere by now ,i hope when it comes to the crunch the authorities can track her down and the local official (mayor)involved in this case also. >:(
after 5yrs i am even angrier than i was at the start of all this c**p 

Name and shame -or go for the juggular - speak to your local MP, your largest town alcade, write to BASE (that will shake things up), write to the Catalanonian authorites write to the papers - as long as you keep your facts staraight -speak to local TV channels.

Is this lady properly registered? Aha..you could open a can of worms for her...

Sounds nasty? Why? Haven't they done the dirty on you? Is this not your home now?

But whatever you do make other folk aware of the situation.

I am a great believer in:
Knowledge is only as powerful as the next person you shre it with!

Hi,
Where was the estate agent based, that you used?

hi, the estate agent i used was based around the benifallet area, a colourful character and her partner ,im sure most people in that area will have heard about her,very bad news!
still in the area as far as i know,and i think still in operation ,beware >:(

my lawyer´s English is pretty good. His office is in Tortosa´s center of town. Call me and tell me what you need and I will refer you to him. Ignacio. tel 693032586

Hi, we have just sold (subject to contract) our apartment in  Almeria, and are hoping to buy a house in Roquetes, in Colonias Parellades.

We've looked thru the email trails - especially 'buyer beware '- and many thanks for the warning.

We are looking for a gestor/ abogado in the area and have contacted 3 of then - with prices varying from 1,000 incl IVA to 2,100 plus IVA.

David Pique came over as very helpful and at a lower cost, but can anyone tells us if he is efficient?    We also had a very quick reply from Ton Battle, but he is much higher priced.

Any recommendations ?
Many, many thanks
Saludos

David dealt with an accident a while ago and was very efficient and completely professional, it was well worth the journey to see him, he really is a nice person.

David Pique, 100% did a great job for me.

Hi,
We went with David Pique - and everything went very smoothly & efficiently.   So thanks to both for the recommendation.   

Saludos
