On April 10, 2026, the Segovia Bar Association celebrated its Easter Festival at the Church of San Justo. Among the awards presented, our lawyer Alicia Garzón Merino received the insignia recognizing four decades of professional practice. This was an occasion to celebrate, and also to tell you about ourselves and how we can help you.
The Easter Celebration of the Segovia Bar Association
The Easter Feast is the most solemn event on the Segovian Bar Association's calendar. This year it was celebrated on Friday, April 10th. Church of Saint Justus, with a mass in memory of deceased colleagues and an academic ceremony in which two main moments took place: the swearing-in of the new members and the awarding of badges to those celebrating 25 and 40 years of membership.
The event brought together prominent figures from Segovia's legal community, including Fernando Rodríguez, president of the Council of Lawyers of Castilla y León; Jesus Martinez Puras, president of the Provincial Court of Segovia; and the Dean of the College, Emilio Fuentetaja. The meeting also included a moving tribute to Juan Antonio Gonzalo. The Segovia Bar Association currently has 233 members.
Among those who received the badge for their 40 years of membership our lawyer was there Alicia Garzon Merino. For the firm, for her, and for all those who have trusted in her work over these four decades, this recognition fills us with pride.
Forty years dedicated to those in need
Four decades in law are more than just a number on a diploma. They represent hundreds of families supported through their most difficult times: divorces, complicated inheritances, unfair dismissals, and seemingly intractable conflicts. These are people who came to the firm unsure of what to do and left with a clear path forward. They represent successful cases and also instances where the best course of action was to prevent conflict before it reached the courts.
Alicia began her career in a profession very different from today's: without digital files, without online filings, without cloud-based databases. She has witnessed the transformation of the Spanish justice system from within and has kept pace with each change without losing sight of what matters most: close client relationships, clear explanations, and a commitment to the outcome.
Since December 2006 it has been part of the Governing Board of the Illustrious Bar Association of Segovia, contributing to the development of the profession beyond his own office. This recognition only confirms what his clients have known for a long time.
Sáez Chillón Abogados: almost five decades in Segovia
The firm was founded in 1979 by Dionisio Saez Chillón, a figure so important to the Segovian legal profession that the College itself established in his honor the International Legal Award «Dionisio Sáez Memorial Chillón», organized in conjunction with the Inter-American Bar Association. Today, almost five decades later, we are still in the same place with the same spirit: professionalism, approachability, and real solutions for real people.
The team consists of Alicia Garzón Merino as lead lawyer, César Gómez Garzón as a lawyer with a young and up-to-date vision of the profession, and Nuria de Andrés Agejas, a law graduate and head of administration, who ensures that every file and every deadline is controlled at all times.
How can we help you?
Over the years, the firm has handled a wide variety of cases. These are the areas in which we work, which encompass the majority of the legal needs of the citizens of Segovia and its province:
Inheritances and wills
Divisions of inheritances among heirs, conflicts between siblings, acceptance or renunciation of inheritances with debts, contesting wills. One of the most frequent and most delicate matters, because it mixes legal and family issues.
Divorces and separations
By mutual agreement or through litigation, with or without children. Drafting the separation agreement, custody arrangements, alimony, use of the family home. In one of life's most difficult moments, legal clarity makes all the difference.
Child custody
Joint or sole custody, modification of measures when circumstances change, visitation rights, child support. The child's best interests always come first.
Evictions and leases
Landlords with non-paying tenants, problematic rental agreements, eviction proceedings for non-payment or lease expiration. We also advise tenants who need to know their rights.
Dismissals and labor claims
Unfair dismissals, incorrect severance payments, workplace harassment, work accidents, wage claims. In labor law, there are very short deadlines for action: if you've been dismissed, don't wait.
Traffic accidents
Claims for compensation, injuries, property damage, negotiation with insurance companies and litigation when the response is not fair.
Buying and selling of homes and real estate
Review of contracts, earnest money contracts, detection of hidden charges or debts, abusive mortgage clauses, conflicts between owners.
Neighborhood associations
Excessive assessments, noise, challenges to community agreements, horizontal property disputes. Everyday problems with real legal consequences.
Sanctions and administrative appeals
Fines, administrative sanctions, appeals to public bodies. The administration can also make mistakes, and you have the right to defend yourself.
Criminal law
Defense and prosecution in criminal proceedings, assistance to detainees, crimes against property, against persons, and against road safety. In criminal matters, the initial consultation is crucial.
Thank you for forty years of trust
The award Alicia Garzón received on April 10th at the Segovia Bar Association's Easter Celebration is not just an institutional recognition. It reflects something much more important: the trust that hundreds of families and individuals from Segovia and its province have placed in her for forty years.
That same commitment guides the daily work of the entire team at Sáez Chillón Abogados. If you have a legal problem and don't know where to start, tell us about it.
