Maria attacked by a colleague
Monday, September 15, 2008 @ 7:05 PM

Again, we are being somehow "verbally attacked" ( very expressly), I would say ,by some lawyers who do not like what we do. Their nasty behaviour constitutes a crime under Spanish Law but we are not spending time in self-defense. We prefer to spend that time on deffending you.

 When we started posting in EyeonSpain 2 years an a half ago, at the same time we started writing legal articles for english speaking people in Spain, we could not imagine our business was going to grow so fastly. The reasons for that extraordinary growth were mainly two: 

1.- Lack of independency of many conveyancing lawyers who were not providing full legal information to their clients. ( They started reading us and coming to us)

2.- Illegal  practices by developers, Local Councils, Insurance Companies and Banks in Spain regarding off plan properties.

Those lawyers are obviously the same who attack us by every mean trying to damage our name and the  honest and independent services we provide to our clients.

We are happy you already know who we are, how we work and how committed we are to help you find the Spain you are looking for. 

Need to remark and remind ( as I have done in many ocassions) that the legal proffession in Spain is much more excellent than those bad examples and that there are hundreds of ethical and good lawyers working silent and independently for the best interests of their clients.

That´s life...

Unfortunatley Maria, in all walks of life your competitors are looking for ways to drag your good name through the mud. You have been very helpful to us on this forum and I am sure I have seen you post on others too. Your name is untarnished and it just goes to show that you are good at what you do. In a perverse way, they are paying you compliment as they are wasting their time talking about you. This in itslef will make others sit up and notice.

As Stelios (Easyjet) said. There is no such thing as bad pulicity.

Please keep up the good work.

Mark

Maria

I fully agree with Mark. I have seen some of the posts in recent weeks & have completely dismissed them as "sour grapes".

Your reputation with both the EOS community & the wider community is held in very high esteem & these people who bad mouth you will not achieve anything.

Please carry on doing exactly what you are doing. You are right to challenge if you feel it necessary to do so.

Kind Regards

Noreen

Maria, if it's any sort of consolation I get my fair share of hate mail. Unfortunately when you put yourself "out there" you have to be ready for the fact that not everyone is going to like what you are doing.

Don't let anyone put your off, you're doing a great job!

Absolutely agree! These are just people hijacking your own popularity on EOS and trying to strum up business for themselves. Maria you are an absolutely goldmine of info to many on EOS and have obviously assisted so many more in their own legal predicaments.

Just keep up your good work!

Everybody who knows sees!!

Thanks Louise. I am glad we made things easier for you. That is the core of our proffession.

Maria, you do OUTSTANDING work for so many & don't deserve the cr*p that's been flung at you at times. Seems that the more you do for others the more you often get slated, I should know. I've been (& still am) at the thick of much on here with some.

You must continue to do what you are so good at. You're much needed & much respected.

Kindest regards.

Not sure if I can ask this question but what is your opinion on Fuster & Associates (Solicitors)? Would you recommend them?
