beware of trying to get out of a mess in spain

if anyone wants a warning to not chuck further monies at a  solicitors firm , that has been mentioned on this forum, for not even telling my family what they have charged 1500 euroes for, then please contact me off forum, or I may end up in further financial trouble, yours sam

There are a handful of good solicitors around but they are like gold dust.  Our community was lucky to be represented by one of them. He has, to date, managed to overturn a well known global promoter in favour of the community, his charges were minimal.  He managed to squash their court threats again, for minimal costs.

You have to do your homework, be aware, trust few and read between the lines.  Free advice is never free, you end up paying one way or another.  The vulnerable will always be victims, it is what best fits the environment at the time.  Greed, lies, deception is the order of the day. If you can get around that than, well done.

I am forever telling people to try to make the best of a bad deal or try direct communications with developer and/or bank in preference to expensive and long drawn out litigation.

It is my firm belief too many lawyers are being over optimistic on the litigation front and letting clients believe the road to victory will be short and sweat.

Anyone who has been through the system knows this is not the case and even favourable judgements in many cases do not result in immediate cash payouts - sometimes necessary to start a new claim - and of course more fees.

When lawyers reply to a thread I try to draw them into fee discussions or to discuss less than favourable outcomes but rarely do they respond.

So optimistic are some laywers they neglect to explain a worst case scenario and how not only might you get nithing back but to add insult to injury you could be liable for the other sides legal costs.

I encourage everyone to share their experiences for the benefit of those coming along behind.
