Giambrone Law was helpful and responsive when it came to handling my own citizenship paperwork. They answered inquiries quickly, moved things along, and provided solid support throughout my personal application. However, I can only give two stars because of a very serious issue with my child's citizenship case. The firm provided incorrect legal counsel that nearly cost my child the opportunity to obtain Spanish citizenship. Despite the mistake, they refused to take responsibility or offer any refund for the more than $5,000 I spent on that portion of the process. Their stance was essentially that the error was not theirs to own. What made this even more frustrating is that the correct path forward was something I ultimately found through a Facebook group of others navigating the same citizenship process--people who actually cared about helping one another succeed. A single thoughtful question from Giambrone could have revealed this same path, but my child was just one of many clients, and by then the firm already had our payment. For anyone seeking legal counsel for Spanish citizenship, my recommendation is to look elsewhere. While Giambrone can be responsive and helpful with straightforward cases, it is entirely possible to receive incorrect legal guidance--and in my experience, they do not take ownership when their mistakes put clients at risk. read more

RUN! DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM. We were looking to move to Barcelona. I thought by going with a "gay friendly" law firm we would get excellent service just the opposite happened at first, they sounded great and sincere. "Give us 5k euros". So, we have them the money, I went back to the states thinking everything was ok. I asked several times to our immigration Coral - "what can I/we do?' while in the states. "Nothing we absolutely handle everything." After the real estate side of the law firm failed to get us the information on the first property in a timely manner and another 5k euros. It should have raised a red flag. I asked again, "is there anything we should be doing" should we apply for nonlucrative visa while we are in the states just in case, we don't find a property in 3 months?" Coral - "no, don't waste your money. Just buy a property?' like you buy a pair of shoes. So, we sold 90% of our stuff and everything was scheduled to come to Barcelona in December us and our 3 pets. Oh, another 5k was requested so we are 15k euros in the hole at this time. One of the requirements to move to Spain is to have Spanish approved health care. Coral recommended Juan, Juan and Coral said we would have to go with DKV insurance. 8600 euros. they said there is no other option. When we arrived since we paid so much money for the insurance, we expected our cards and logins. We were told they were coming. We tried to login to DKV and we couldn't. We kept asking Juan what was going on and he refused to talk to us. I went to several DKV clinics and when I emailed Coral and Juan about the issues. I was told, "oh you can't use the insurance the first year.' by both, to stop going to the clinics. "What?" I had an issue with my tooth that's when I found out DKV was paid nothing, so we had to get other approved health insurance. It gets worse. We finally find a property we both love. Giambrone, messes up that purchase completely but telling the owner information that wasn't necessary to tell him and didn't affect the purchase of the apartment, but it matter to the owner. He wouldn't speak to us for about 2 weeks by this time it was too late because of the Schengen Law. I finally message him and asked him to please respond. He said, "why do you want my apartment?" Giambrone said you have offers on two other apartments. At this time, our Schengen days were up. I kept asking Coral what can we do? We would have to go back to the states and get the "nonlucrative visa" both of us but the problem is our 3 pets and items were here. Oh, things I could have been doing while in the states. The question I asked Coral. gathering documents necessary for the visa. When we both arrive, she started asking for documents that were on the boat. We had to pay $250 to have someone go to the courthouse and overnight the documents to us. Where if she would have provided us with a list of things she would need, we wouldn't have put them on a ship. I repeated asked Coral - what can we do? we can't leave our pets with strangers for months. One of her suggestions was, live in Spain 3 years illegal then apply for visa. I was sick for 2 days. throwing up and going back to bed. The mess that Giambrone Law firm got us into was a nightmare. Then they stopped responding to us. I started contacting other law firms to find out what could we do. I finally find one who picked up the pieces. Gave us a list of items they would need and hand walk us through it. I can't tell you the stress Giambrone Law firm put us through. It went on for 5 months before we were able to dig out of the mess they caused and thousands and thousands of dollars. Just not the 15k plus in euros. But the cost of flights, having to go back to US and live in an apartment for months and our pets with strangers in Barcelona. The last time I added up the cost of the mistakes of Giambrone Law firm it was close to $400K YES! Money we can never get back. So my advice is DO NOT use this law firm for anything. read more

I recently completed my property purchase in Jewel of the Sea in Italy and i instructed Giambrone Law for the duration of my completion and i must say that i was very impressed with the company. Gabriele Giambrone was my point of contact and he was always helpful throughout the process always speaking to me when i needed questions answered. Also if Gabriele Giambrone wasnt availible the staff in his office was also helpful on providing me the info i wanted. Regular updates were always sent out and i am happy to say i completed my property purchase within the time issued. I strongly recommend them. read more
