We hired David and his team when we moved to Barcelona to help us with our taxes in Spain, and they’ve done our taxes every year since 2023. They’re very thorough, on top of things, give us a heads up about stuff, and with the digital certificate they handle whatever we need done, explained properly and clearly. Communication is good, though sometimes the speed at which they respond could be improved. Price felt fair and they’re professional and respectful.

I had a problem with an inheritance about five years ago. I had been with other lawyers and everything was pretty bad, and in the end I went with Yasir and he was able to solve the whole thing. He explains everything very well, answers quickly, took a lot of interest, and prepared me for a court hearing; the case was tangled and it took about eight months, but I felt calm and the price was good. Compared to others there is an abysmal difference, I trust him and I am even planning to consult him about selling and buying a property.

I started working with David and his team a little over three and a half years ago when we were buying an apartment in Barcelona as a company, and they helped with setting up the company in Spain and the whole purchase process. Since then they’ve been our go-to lawyers for anything legal, including paying our taxes there and handling my legal stuff and my husband’s, and they always manage calls around a 7-hour time difference with no problem. Communication and professionalism have been great and we’ve never had an issue. Prices feel worth what you pay - not super expensive - and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for legal counsel in Barcelona.
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted family lawyers actually do. Prices updated October 2026
How much does a lawyer for child support or alimony cost in Madrid?
Setting or changing child or spousal support costs less when both sides agree; for a contested claim some firms base the fee on one year of the payment at stake, and the procurador is often extra.
How much does a child custody case cost in Madrid?
Putting an agreed custody plan in front of a judge is fairly cheap, while a contested case means a full hearing and often a psychologist's report, which is paid separately.
How much does a divorce cost in Madrid?
Agreed divorces are usually sold at fixed prices that often include the court agent (procurador) and IVA, so check what a quote covers; contested divorces cost far more and appeals are billed on top.
How much does it cost to divide marital property in Madrid?
Shared marital property can be split at a notary without a lawyer, though most couples take advice; the notary's fee comes on top of a lawyer's fee.
How much does an inheritance dispute lawyer cost in Madrid?
Challenging a will or claiming your forced share is priced case by case; some firms take a share of what they recover and only charge if they win.
How much does a lawyer to handle an inheritance cost in Madrid?
Ask for a fixed fee rather than a percentage of the estate, which gets expensive on a simple file; notary, land registry and taxes are paid on top.

A Spanish will is signed before a notary, who charges roughly €40 to €80; a lawyer is optional but worth it for blended families or larger estates.
