Immigration lawyers — top professionals

Immigration lawyers handle Spanish nationality, arraigo, family reunification, residency visas and golden visas. A badly prepared file can delay you months or get denied — the real value of a good lawyer is getting the paperwork right first time.

Only lawyers registered with a Colegio de Abogados can represent you before immigration offices. Prolio verifies bar registration and prioritises firms with demonstrable specialisation in immigration over generalists.

Frequently asked questions

Gestor vs immigration lawyer — what's the difference?

A gestor can prepare paperwork but cannot represent you legally. A colegiado lawyer can appear before the immigration office, appeal denials and represent you in court. For important cases (nationality, appeals) always pick a lawyer.

How much does Spanish nationality cost via a lawyer?

Lawyer fees: €800-€1500 plus the ~€104 government fee. Processing time: 12-30 months depending on backlog. Beware of "express" offers — speed depends on the Ministry, not the lawyer.

Can I change lawyers mid-case?

Yes — revoke the previous power of attorney and grant a new one. Your file continues from wherever it is; the new lawyer picks up from there. You don't lose time already spent.
