Atty. Keith is truly an angel sent from above. I'm so grateful that I found him, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.<br><br>What makes him stand out is not only his expertise but also his genuine kindness and willingness to help. Even without payment, he took the time to answer all of our questions with patience, honesty, and detailed guidance. It's clear that he truly cares about helping people, not just doing his job. 🥹<br><br>Thank you so much for everything you've done for us. Wishing you and your team continued success and many more clients you truly deserve it! 🙏🏻
Highly recommend Keith and LM Lawyers for anyone tackling the Spain Digital Nomad Visa process! Keith provided outstanding service throughout, helping me navigate Spain's often complicated bureaucracy with ease. He breaks down every requirement in clear, simple terms and supports you from start to finish. He even continues helping after you've received your TIE card, so you feel settled into your new life here in Spain.<br><br>Highly recommended for anyone looking to move or start a new life here in Spain.
Buying a Valencia apartment felt risky abroad, but LM Lawyers handled inspections, contracts, and mortgage guidance brilliantly. Their responsive team justified every fee perfectly.
Keith has been an absolute lifesaver!<br><br>I called seeking clarity on renewing my TIE card as a UK citizen who started living in Spain before Brexit. After a very stressful year of being told by other lawyers that I couldn't leave Spain because I had apparently used up all of my permitted absences, I ended up making some very difficult personal sacrifices as I didn't want to jeopardise my chances of obtaining permanent residency.<br><br>Keith took the time to look at my entire situation, the very same day I reached out, and informed me that I was actually already a permanent resident, having lived here since 2018!<br><br>Due to incomplete and inaccurate interpretations of Spanish law by other lawyers, I had already endured significant stress, expense, and unnecessary limitations on my life. The news Keith gave me was amazing and brought enormous relief. At the same time, it was bittersweet to realise that I had made so many sacrifices based on information that turned out to be incorrect. I only wish I had found Keith sooner!<br><br>He was compassionate, highly knowledgeable, and gave me the reassurance I so desperately needed. What impressed me even more was that he followed up with a detailed email outlining all the next steps I needed to take. Many lawyers would charge substantial fees for that level of guidance alone, yet Keith provided it freely and without any pressure.<br><br>I am incredibly grateful that I found his firm — and that he even refused to let me pay him!<br><br>I would 100% recommend Keith, especially to any British person seeking clarity on their residency status in Spain.<br><br>I will definitely be back if I need further assistance, and I have already recommended him to multiple friends.
Keith has been incredibly helpful throughout my relocation to Valencia. He is highly knowledgeable and generously shared a wealth of useful information that made the entire process much smoother. I especially appreciated how approachable, supportive, and responsive he was every step of the way. His guidance gave me a lot of confidence during the move, and I would highly recommend him to anyone relocating to the area.
As a remote consultant moving to Spain, I approached LM Lawyers for residency guidance. My case involved family members, which made it complicated. Their communication stayed transparent throughout, they answered every concern calmly, and the pricing structure felt honest compared to other immigration lawyers I contacted earlier.
In my experience, Keith Gorman is one of those rare lawyers who provide exceptional service that is spot-on with specific guidance and very approachable - all without a sales pitch or starting the billing clock.<br><br>As he said to me in an email, "there is a lot of confusing information out there that causes unnecessary stress for people." (I needed clarity on the exact steps to renew my TIE card.) His friendly advice cut through all of the confusion and uncertainty, and it was a breath of fresh air.<br><br>I've only seen this level of friendly and proactive clarity from a lawyer once before (back in Edinburgh). And for context, I dealt with many law firms in the UK mortgage and small business sectors over the course of 30 years. Keith is truly exceptional, and I recommend him highly.
If I could give Keith 100 stars, I would. He is the reason our home purchase in Valencia was a success. We were told that having a lawyer for the process was essential, and that couldn’t have been more true—Keith was the most important member of our team and absolutely critical to making this happen.<br><br>As foreigners purchasing a home and securing a mortgage in Spain, we faced a complex and unfamiliar process. From the very beginning, Keith dedicated an incredible amount of time to walking us through every step, answering all of our questions, and ensuring we fully understood what to expect. When we found the perfect home, he provided a thorough assessment of the property, its location, and the purchase price.<br><br>Because we handled most of the purchase from abroad, Keith had to accommodate the added complexities of our situation. He was incredibly patient, communicative, and always found solutions to the challenges that arose. He helped us explore all possible options before signing and even guided us through the power of attorney process during a last-minute trip back to Spain.<br><br>After struggling with several banks' automated forms and unresponsive customer service, Keith connected us with a fantastic banker at CaixaBank, where we quickly secured a mortgage with a great experience. He signed for the house on our behalf, and when we arrived shortly after, he took the time to meet with us, answer any remaining questions, help set up services, and continue to offer his support as we settle in.<br><br>Keith’s professionalism, expertise, and dedication made this process smooth and successful. I know how busy Keith is, but he continues to make us feel as if we are his primary client. I truly appreciate everything he has done and look forward to continuing to work with him as we begin our new adventure in Spain.<br><br>Thank you, Keith!
Recommendation for Keith – DNV Application Consultant<br><br>I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Keith, a man with nerves of steel! Thanks to his expertise, my DNV application was approved in just 13 days without any additional requirements.<br><br>Keith handled our application with meticulous attention to detail and approached every step with conscientious care. He understood the pressure I was under, especially since I was making an important life decision with a young child. Despite the news that my application might need a new approach due to my role as a company owner, Keith remained calm and focused. His deep understanding of UGE requirements meant he only requested the most precise documents and information—nothing more, nothing less.<br><br>From our very first meeting, I knew I could trust him, and the result was a complete success. If you're looking for a reliable consultant to guide you through the DNV application process, I wholeheartedly recommend Keith without hesitation.
We bought a rural property in Alicante with their help. I really recommend them. Very personal, attentive service. They translated everything and our representative Kieth went above and beyond in so many ways. They also helped us make our purchase in GBP! (Yes it is possible!) they have lots of useful recommendations and good deals for property surveyor, mortgage, visa and more which was really nice bonus when you are a foreigner. I recommend highly to all British expats making a property purchase in Spain.
