How Sterna Abogados Helped an American Client Secure Spanish Citizenship Through Her Grandfather

At Sterna Abogados, we pride ourselves on guiding clients through complex immigration processes with professionalism, empathy, and efficiency. One of our recent success stories comes from Allyson G., an American citizen whose grandfather was born in Spain. She approached us in December 2023 inquiring about dual citizenship through ancestry (Ley de Memoria Democrática), and we are proud to share her heartfelt testimonial.

Allyson’s case was unique and required careful handling, including document retrieval and translation from Brazil. Despite the complexity, our team – particularly Noelia Hernández Moya and María Paula Cedeño – supported her at every step. As Allyson explained, she initially had concerns about starting the process remotely without meeting our lawyers in person. However, those concerns quickly vanished thanks to the consistent communication, clarity, and timely responses she received – often in under 24 hours.

From managing cross-border document requirements to offering regular updates and reassurances, we were committed to making the path to Spanish citizenship as smooth as possible for her. Allyson noted that our firm’s reliability and dedication gave her peace of mind and ultimately helped her achieve her goal: becoming a registered citizen of Spain.

Her experience highlights our core values: personalized support, thorough expertise in Spanish nationality law, and unwavering dedication to our clients’ success.

If you’re considering applying for Spanish citizenship through ancestry or any other route, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@sternaabogados.com. Make sure to do it before October 2025, since the law finishes on that date!

Our team is here to assist you with the same care and efficiency we offered Allyson.
