Martínez-Echevarría Abogados

La experiencia de mi familia fue un absoluto desastre, perdieron 4 escrituras de mis abuelos de incalculable valor sentimental porque algunas eran insustituibles, además de presentar la plusvalía tarde, que también, pero es que además se la he reclamado por todos lo medios que he podido y no he recibido ni respuesta, ni una disculpa, ni una copia de las mismas que es lo menos que podían hacer, es decir nada, eso sí, en reclamar el pago fueron especialmente diligentes. No recomendaría a nadie. 19/9/2025 He de aclarar que tras años esperando una respuesta, he recibido la grata noticia de que han encontrado las escrituras, y además se han comprometido en devolver a mí familia lo que se cobró demás, debo agradecer personalmente a Sara Rodríguez que nos ayudó a resolverlo y se tomó las molestias de buscarlas y gestionar su devolución. Muchas gracias

The team is top notch, very experienced with real estate related needs.

The team at Martinez-Echevarría are absolutely brilliant and I’d recommend them to anyone requiring property advice in Spain. Guillermo, in particular, was incredibly helpful and made what could be a difficult process, as smooth as possible.

We recently relocated to Spain and Juan Tomas Martinez - Echevarria came highly recommended to us in the process of purchasing a house. There was a lot of paperwork involved with procedures that were new to us, and Mr. Martinez was excellent in navigating us through the process, answering any question and helping us finalize the purchase. I could not have hoped for a better outcome and for a more professional lawyer who definitely exceeded all expectations.

If you ever buy a property in Spain we strongly recommend staying away from Martínez-Echevarría. They screw up dates (transfer of property), sums (what has been paid), phone numbers (German mobile number), translations (unusable), … they only communicate after several requests and escalations, if at all. They didn’t tell us about the contracts they signed in our name, nor the conditions of these. Other required contracts (i.e. internet) were simply not closed. Most of the time we were wondering if they worked for us or the other (seller) party. In short: They are a total disaster! We’re just glad we’ll never have to deal with them again.

Martinez-Echevarria Abogados recently managed the purchase of our apartment in Estepona and we are very happy with the service we received. In particular, Lucia Bonilla Sanchez and José Luis López Jiménez proved themselves to be highly qualified, courteous and knowledgeable professionals through every step of the process. My husband and I had a very tight window of time in which to complete our purchase but were completely unfamiliar with the Spanish Real Estate Law and procedures. Lucia and Jose Luis explained everything very clearly and kept us fully apprised of the documentation progress while patiently answering all of my questions. I would definitely work with this firm again!

Excellent service from Guillermo, professional and pleasant at all times. Will continue to use ME for all future requirements. Terry .

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Juan Tomás Martinez and his team for their exceptional and detailed work for my purchasing property in Spain. I am very impressed with their detailed filing system, their and also company's honesty and work ethic. Very trustable company. Thank you for all your help and excellent representation.

We were introduced to Martinez-Echevarria by a local fellow American who we met while doing research on what it would take to relocate to Costa del Sol. We even had our US based law firm vet this firm in Spain for us. And we have to say, that we very pleased with this firm, but more importantly our lawyer, Guillermo Ayuso Cortés has been there for us the entire way and we could not be more pleased. He was our guide while we worked on all things related to our Visa, property purchases and answered all our questions. The rest of the team from Juan Tomas to the tax advisory team to the license team have all been very professional. We see a long future with this firm.

We have the pleasure to recommend the professional services of Martinez Echevarría Abogados after successfully completing the sale of our property at San Luis de Sabinillas, Manilva. Juan Tomas Echevarria and Lucia Bonilla had made the full process easy and enjoyable for us. Agneta E. Schioler-Herrera Juan Raul Herrera

My husband and I highly recommend the Estepona branch of MARTÍNEZ-ECHEVARRÍA ABOGADOS. They have been responsive, helpful and supportive during the process of purchasing our first home in Estepona. We’ve dealt with Lucia for most of the process whilst we were in New Zealand and she was efficient and she made the process seamless for us. She went the extra mile by keeping us informed and supported even when the time difference is big. We felt at ease and confident in dealing with her. She’s amazing! Thank you to Juan Tomas as well for guiding and helping us in our first steps during the process. We highly recommend the Estepona branch.

Compré una propiedad en Marbella y Ángela F. me brindó apoyo y buenos consejos. Gracias a Ángela, el proceso fue muy agradable y sencillo.

Ich habe im November meinen Wohnungskauf über die Kanzlei Abogados Martinez-Echevarria Abogados abgeschlossen. Frau Anwältin Angela Fernandez Rodilla erhielt von mir jegliche Vollmachten, den Verkauf während meiner Abwesenheit abzuwickeln, - einschliesslich des Prüfens sämtlicher Unterlagen bzw Abwicklung des Vorvertrages bis zur notariellen Unterzeichnung der Kaufvertragsurkunde. Dies geschah reibungslos, schnell und ohne Probleme. Die sehr guten Deutschkenntnisse von Frau Fernandez halfen mir beim Verständnis aller Fragen und Informationen über den aktuellen Stand des Vorgangs. Ich danke ihr sehr herzlich und werde Frau Fernandez jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

We are a family business and have been working with Martínez-Echevarría a little over a year now. Specifically, our lawyer, Lucia Bonilla Sánchez. We have done nearly over half a dozen processes and works on those properties and are extremely satisfied and happy to be working with them. In our experience, we can comfortably say that after 40 years in certain businesses as a family, it's the first time we are so comfortable in a foreign country to have a lawyer so trustworthy and can be dependent that everything to the letter will be checked and made sure all is correct. An interesting anecdote: twice now in the notary office while in the process of a deal, the party across was so impressed with our lawyer Lucia that this was a matter of a talking point during that deal that always struck me as being quite interesting as it is not the norm. We would happily and wholeheartedly recommend them, and especially Lucia; we will continue to work with them no doubt.

Sold our apartment and decided to use a lawyer to just get it done easy. Big mistake to use this one. Might as well have done it our self since just about everything has been a problem. After 4 months we still pay for electricity and water and our lawyer does..nothing. No or poor communication from the beginning and now-silence. We have to chase down our lawyer for everything!! We will propbably have to fix the remaining stuff that was promised when we come back in November. And will propbably have to pay another lawyer or gestor as well.

I highly recommend Guenter. He played a crucial role in guiding us through the entire process of purchasing our new apartment. His expertise and support made the financial aspects smooth and stress-free. We're grateful for his dedication and highly recommend his services.

Amazing experience with Guenter and the team from the office in Estepona. Very professional, extremely reliable and transparent. They has been incredible and very helpful through the entire process. Would highly recommand.

Super profecionales , exelente trato

Me dejaron una obra a medias y han conseguido que la empresa se comprometa a la devolución de la parte no realizada

Sus consultas telefónicas son muy completas, no te dejan con dudas

He conseguido unas ayudas gracias a ellos.

Muy puntuales y resolutivos.

Atención telefónica impecable

Mi experiencia es buena

DO NOT recommend this law firm. they don't even bring the case even though we paid for it. They do not respond to mail.

We work a lot with Martinez Echevarría and after more than 20 years of selling property on the Costa del Sol, we can honestly say they are very prossional and accessible. They are able to deal with all types of law issues and are specialist in real estate transactions. We highly recommend them!
