Navigating the Spanish legal system is hard enough — and much harder when Spanish is not your language. At POZO Abogados & Asociados we work with expats and foreign residents every week: we speak your language, we know how Spanish courts and public offices actually work, and we explain every step in plain English so you can make decisions with confidence.

Whether you are facing a criminal charge, going through a divorce, running a business, sorting out your residency or claiming after a road accident, our team in Granada is ready to help — clearly, promptly and professionally, anywhere in Spain.

Frequently asked questions

Do you speak English?

Yes. Our team handles your case in English from the first call to the final resolution — consultations, correspondence with the authorities and explanations of every court document. You will never be left guessing because of a language barrier.

What does it cost to speak to a lawyer?

The in-person consultation at our Granada office costs 60 euros. Before we take on your case we explain our fees and agree the terms with you in writing, so you always know the cost in advance. For traffic accident claims, the initial assessment of your claim is free of charge.

What should I do if I am arrested in Spain?

You have the right to a lawyer immediately and the right to remain silent. Do not make any statement to the police without a lawyer present, even if you believe you have nothing to hide. Contact us as soon as possible — we have an out-of-hours emergency line for criminal matters in Granada.

Can you handle my case if I am not in Granada?

In many matters, yes. Immigration and administrative procedures, claims and many civil matters can be managed remotely through a power of attorney (poder notarial). We will tell you honestly what can be done remotely and when your presence is required.

Can you help with residency, NIE or Spanish nationality?

Yes. Our immigration department handles NIE and TIE applications, residency permits and renewals, arraigo, family reunification, appeals against refusals and Spanish nationality applications — with service in English throughout.
