I'm really happy with the service provided. I appreciate the regular reminders to submit what is needed and the friendly and helpful service. Daniela Gonzalez has gone above and beyond to help me, such as finding ways to get receipts for tap and go payments for transport in London.

Please don't trust this company. They have made a big mistake with my taxes and I have lost the right to a flat rate which means I will be charged 3 x as much per month for being autonomo as I should be. Haven't responded at all to my complaint, no apology no justification nothing. Please use a legit Spanish company like Vilar & associates who are not trying to resolve this issue for me. Don't waste your money. *update* I have just found just found out I am in debt of over 3000 euros to the government because of this company's incompetence. I have contacted them with my complain but of course no response. Having just had a baby and on maternity leave until recently, now finding out I owe this and I paid this company to sort these issues for me but they have well and truly dropped me in the ***. will be taking legal action.

Hoy tuvimos nuestra primera consulta informativa con Tatiana sobre impuestos y nos pareció buenísima. Entendió todas las dudas y respondió con claridad, base y al grano, tal que la llamada rindió y nos dejó muy buena impresión de esta gestoría.

Mala la atención. Pague por una consulta de 1 hora con una abogada del equipo la cual me despachó a los 30 minutos. Me hizo seguimiento los días posteriores para que pague el trámite sin darme ningún tipo de pasos a seguir. No los contraten, no dejen sus trámites importantes en este tipo de personas.

PÉSIMO SERVICIO, TENGAN CUIDADO!!!!!!!!!!!! absténganse de utilizarlo. Poco profesional , los abogados están más interesados en cobrar el servicio más alto así no sea el indicado , ni posible . Ofrecen un 98% de éxito para cerrar la venta y a la hora de la verdad cuando es hora de entregar resultados se desaparecen. MUY POCO PROFESIONALES. Estoy segura que si hacen un poco de research encuentran un lugar mejor, funcionan como un software y no como un bufete de abogados responsables.

POR FAVOR No los utilicen! Se van a arrepentir y sus procesos migratorios no saldrán bien. Es un muy mal servicio. En mi caso me ofrecieron un servicio que no era acorde an mis necesidades solo porque el valor era superior . Pedí un reembolso y no han sido capaces de reembolsar el dinero. Tampoco completaron el servicio.
