Reassurance required on lawyers

Hi

Can someone give me a little reassurance about the law and lawyers when cases are going to court about return of deposits please!!

It takes an absolute age to get any meaningful response from the lawyers when you have engaged them to work for you.  I have to wait, then wait, then wait agin, with little or no information.  Then I am told your lawsuit is ready, then told no its not ready yet.

Then told, we will tell you when something happens.

The told it may take 2 months, may take a year, then maybe a year more.

Crikey, if I ran my professional life in this way I would be bankrupt in a month.  Why is it that everyone seems to work on the premise that they matter more than we do, and that its a favour they are doing us?

Any similar instances or is it just me they are picking on!!!!

Hi

I think we've all had the "manana" Spanish experience ?

It just seems that that's the way they live out there, opposed to the fast pace we live at in the UK ?

We instructed our Spanish lawyer years ago, and was told then that this was going to be a long process.

However, our personal experience is that our case went to the Alicante Court on 5th November 2014, where our lawyer Martin de la Herran of Abolex Abogados won our case !!

It is now April, and the courts have finally agreed to release our deposit which should be in our bank next week ?

PHEW...... I can't tell you what a relief that is ?

Furthermore, there have been appeals in the Supreme Court, by the Spanish banks, and these have apparently been rejected due to the Law 57/1968 which makes the banks responsible for the monies paid into their accounts.

So, the banks will also be responsible for the Interest and Fees !!

Good Luck

That's heartening to know, thank you.

Keep checking in from time to time, I may need some motivation occasionally!!!!!!
