Hi,

about 15 years ago I paid a Spanish lawyer to try and get my deposit back on two unfinished apartments.

I asked the lawyer were my bank guarantees valid ? He told me they were not because a "group" licence of habitation had been issued on the apartments. I spent over 20,000 euros, we went to court and won but of course the builder and developer were nowhere to be found. A while later I came across another lawyer who asked me if I had bank guarantees I said yes and I had my deposit back plus interest within 3 months. Was the first lawyer neglegent ? If so can I claim all my fees back from the first lawyer ?

Thanks
