REVIEWS
Check out what our former clients have to say about us!
Phyllis Webb2024-07-11My husband and I were so relieved after having a devastating 1st opinion from another firm. Ivan from Carbray International was completely professional and knowledgeable about Expat taxes. He gave us complete information about the taxes as a non-lucrative status residence. Everything was completed within a week, and we are extremely satisfied.
Kevin Chang2024-07-07Fantastic people to work with. They help me settle the house and will be helping me with my visa situation all while I'm overseas. They are extremely friendly, they are also very responsive via email and WhatsApp. Sandra and Paula from the Barcelona office were very professional and had answers to all my questions. Super experienced! I've also compared about 15 different lawyer firms before I fully committed and I can say the fees they charge are fully transparent and reasonable compare to the market. I look forward to continuing working with them.
Francisco Martinez2024-06-24Working with Iris Galván and her team at Carbray to recover my Spanish nationality was the best, and luckiest, decision I could have made. As a lawyer myself in the USA, I respect the intricacies and technical nuances of the law. I know the value of expert advice - hiring an experienced lawyer was not a hard decision for me. What can be easily overlooked, however, is that the decision to acquire a new nationality is also deeply personal, because it touches on identity, family history, a reconciliation of the past with a sense of hope for the future. Once a process like this is startet, the personal stakes in a successful outcome become enormous. Failure quickly becomes unfathomable. But, the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly. The process is not designed to be easy or efficient. Quite the contrary - it is a three dimensional puzzle with many important pieces hidden from view. To make matters worse, the pieces don't always neatly fit together. The endeavor quickly turns into a waiting game with little or no information flow for long stretches of time. Second guessing and doubts are inevitable. Hope can fade. Patience can run short. I can’t overstate how important it was for me to be reassured by someone I could trust, and who knows what she is talking about, that I should stay the course because things will work out in the end. I did, and, they did. I am glad I had someone to listen to. And, I am glad I listened. My Spanish Passport is on the way. And, now it is my daughter's turn. Thank you evermore, Iris and Team Carbray!
Glenn Bowles2024-06-22During the last few months we have been working through the application process for a Registry Certificate for myself and the TIE process for my wife in Spain. Carbray have been excellent in guiding us through all the steps in this process. Many thanks to Vera who has organised and supported us the whole way. Always clear, prompt and patient, nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks!
coco Hu2024-06-19The Carbray is my first choice for their supporting,professional team. Especially thanks to Sandra, Yanimar ,Paulina,Paula and the whole team guided us through every step to get our residency in Spain. I would definitely recommend Carbray to anyone who wants to settle down in Spain.
Nick Ligonis2024-06-19I highly recommend the services of Carbray International. They did an exceptional job of handling my application for residency in Spain. Magdalena Barrueto is a delightful attorney to work with, she was very knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to answer all of my questions, explaining everything in detail both over the phone and via email. Her associate Vera was also very attentive and helpful during the application process. The service was also an excellent value. The fees are very reasonable for the level of service and attention provided. I received my residence card within 6 months of beginning the application process and everything went smoothly. Thank you Magdalena and Vera!
Dennis Neal2024-06-19As much as I would love to single out every person at Carbray International for the high praise they deserve, I’m certain I’ll neglect someone. So instead, I’ll focus on their institutional excellence as a conscientious and professional team of attorneys who are experts at navigating the rocks and shoals of Spanish governmental and immigration law. The Carbray Team — because that’s what you’re getting when you hire the firm — is much more the sum of its parts. They helped my wife and I obtain our Non-Lucrative Visas for Spanish residency, hitting the ground running from the first day in 2022 when their services were retained through June 2024 when the Spanish government issued our Residency ID cards. It was a winding road with bumps, twists, and turns that terrified us both many times, but Carbray representatives calmly steered us through each step. I can state with confidence that we would not have succeeded in attempting this process on our own. Absolute, unqualified kudos to the brilliant, mostly female team of professional attorneys, paralegals, clerks and more who make Carbray so successful. Thank you all, so very much! Charles & Kristie, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Kevin Boland2024-06-14The tax department is full of pros! They got my special tax application done.
Kate Quirk2024-06-11I have worked with Carbray for the past 2 years as I have applied for (and now have!) my non-lucrative visa. Their services were excellent. Working with Magdalena and Vera made the whole process much more manageable! I really appreciated their timely responses and thorough guidance. I have recommended them to friends who are also working through the same process. Thanks again Carbray!
