Legal Services in Spain

Not every legal matter in Spain is about relocation. If you or a family member faces a divorce, a DUI charge, detention, or another urgent legal issue on Spanish soil, you do not need to fly to Madrid to find a lawyer. Spain Law NYC handles these matters from New York, coordinating local presence in Spain when the proceeding requires it — without you losing a single point of contact.

Spanish legal matters coordinated from New York

Divorce in Spain

Divorce for residents or non-residents with assets or a marriage registered in Spain. We handle Spanish proceedings, mutual-agreement divorces (divorcio de mutuo acuerdo), and the recognition of US judgments in Spain. If your marriage was registered in Spain or you have property in Spain, a Spanish divorce may be necessary or advantageous — even if you live in the United States.

Starting at $3,500(mutual agreement; contested proceedings priced individually)Book a consultation

DUI / Driving Offenses in Spain

Legal assistance for driving-under-the-influence charges or other serious traffic offenses in Spain. We handle court appearances you cannot attend in person, negotiate penalties, and coordinate with local Spanish counsel when physical presence is required. Spanish DUI law is strict: penalties include fines, license suspension, and imprisonment for repeat offenses. Immediate legal response is essential.

Assistance for Detained Persons

Urgent legal representation for an American citizen detained in Spain, or for a family member managing the situation from New York. We cover the first 72 hours: attending the police station, ensuring the detainee's rights are respected, coordinating with the US consulate, and preparing bail or release applications. This is a high-stress situation — we respond with direct, reassuring communication and immediate legal action.

Other Legal Matters

Civil litigation, contract disputes, administrative appeals, and other matters that do not fit the four relocation tiers. If you have a legal issue in Spain and are unsure whether it falls within our scope, contact us for a preliminary assessment. If it is outside our expertise, we will refer you to a trusted Spanish colleague with full transparency.

One attorney, accountable from New York to Spain

I lead the case under Spanish bar admission (ICATF Colegiado No. 5961), coordinating local presence in Spain when the proceeding requires it. You are not handed off to a firm you have never met. You have one phone number, one email, and one person who knows your case from the first call to the final resolution.

This page covers Spanish law — not New York or US law. For US legal matters, consult a licensed US attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Spanish lawyer represent me in Spain if I am in New York?
Yes. A Spain-licensed attorney can represent you in Spanish legal proceedings regardless of your physical location. For court appearances, we can attend in person or file a power of attorney allowing a local Spanish colleague to appear on your behalf. All strategic decisions, document preparation, and client communication are handled directly by Spain Law NYC — you are not handed off to a firm you have never met.
What happens if a family member is detained in Spain?
The first 72 hours are critical. We provide immediate legal representation: attending the police station, ensuring the detainee's rights are respected, coordinating with the US consulate, and preparing bail or release applications. We also advise the family member in New York on what to expect, what documents to prepare, and how to stay informed throughout the process. Time is of the essence — contact us immediately.
Can a divorce in Spain be handled without traveling there?
In many cases, yes. If the divorce is mutually agreed (divorcio de mutuo acuerdo) and both parties sign the necessary documents, the entire process can be handled remotely via power of attorney. If the divorce is contested, some court appearances may be required, but we minimize travel by coordinating local representation in Spain and conducting all preparatory work from New York.
