My family and I wouldn't have been able to get our Non-lucrative visa without Raphael and his team! We were living in Houston and had to work with the Spanish consulate, which is the most difficult branch in the US. He was always professional, knowledgeable, patient and answered all our concerns promptly, even with a 7-hour time difference. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to live in Spain from the United States.
What a delight! Raphael knows the ins and outs of the immigration system here and specializes in residency issues. He speaks impeccable English and made us feel welcome and heard. After giving Raphael our paperwork, he was able to make the submissions electronically and broke through the red tape. We'll have our new residency cards in a month!
My experience with Zimmer Abogados was wonderful. Raphael did impeccable work — without him, I certainly wouldn't have succeeded. He transmitted a lot of confidence from the start. This week I received the news that my process was approved! 100% professionalism and trust.
