I was lucky enough to be able to post about the successfull completion of my case on this forum in November last year. Looking at the details of your case, it's remarkable how similar they are to my situation.
We put a deposit down in 2006, with ADH on a 4 bed Promaga development (Vista Hermosa). We also initially utilised Lawyers of Spain and were issued with a Bank Guarantee.
In late 2008 / early 2009 we initiated court action to retrieve our substantial deposit monies and used the same Legal Firm you are alluding to.
Over the years the case plodded slowly forwards, and I still remember the "false dawn" email we received in October 2010 which was titled "Congratulations - Victory in Court of First Instance". To the uninitiated it appeared that there was an opportunity that I may recieve my money back within a matter of weeks.
As it turned out, it took a further 14 long months. But when it finally happened, it was sweet, and the resentment and anger and stress that had been building up for many years just melted away.
It's easy to lose the faith when times are hard, particularly when you feel there is a lack of information, or even worse, mis-communication. However, I'm absolutely convinced that the Legal Team that currently represent you have your best interests at heart and that a successful outcome will eventually result.
The complex and apparently undiciplined legal system in Spain is difficult to cope with when we are used to the regimented processes of the UK system, and I believe that its our inabilities to align our communication styles and cultural expectations rather than specific incompetencies in many cases.
I really hope that your case progresses to a successful conclusion as rapidly as possible.
Best Regards
JJ
