When dealing with legal matters that span both Spain and the United States—especially immigration cases—having an attorney admitted in both jurisdictions can make all the difference.
At our law firm, Mercado & Rengel, with offices in Madrid and Boston, we offer precisely that: attorneys who are licensed and have practiced in both Spain and the U.S. This dual admission is not just a credential—it is a key advantage for clients. Many lawyers in Spain advertise U.S. immigration services without being admitted to practice law in the U.S. or having any personal experience with the U.S. legal system. This lack of direct knowledge often leads to inadequate representation and can hurt the client in the long run.
Before hiring a lawyer in Spain to handle matters in the U.S., we strongly recommend asking:
- Are you admitted to practice law in the U.S.?
- Have you practiced law in the U.S.?
- Do you have personal knowledge and experience with U.S. law?
Some Spanish lawyers hire U.S. attorneys to handle parts of the process. While this might seem sufficient, it creates a disconnect. At our firm, the same attorney who meets with you in Madrid will also handle your case personally in the U.S., often traveling between our Boston and Madrid offices to do so.
Because we understand both legal systems deeply, our clients receive consistent, knowledgeable, and effective representation from start to finish. That’s the value of hiring an attorney who truly operates in both worlds.
