I am a Canadian Lawyer from Victoria, B.C., where I practiced law under the English Common Law System that exists in Canada and the U.S., for fourteen years prior to moving to Costa Rica in 1998. I returned to University in Costa Rica to obtain a Civil Law Degree, the Legal System utilized throughout Latin America, and I have practiced primarily Real Estate and Immigration Law for expats moving and living in Costa Rica for the past twenty-one years. I am an incorporated Lawyer with the Costa Rica College of Lawyers and I am on the approved list of Lawyers at the Canadian Embassy in San Jose. My unique dual legal background and the fact that I have undertaken the very move to Costa Rica personally, that some of you reading this article may be contemplating, or have moved to Costa Rica already, would choose my law firm, Costa Rica Canada Law, for the legal services that you require. On my website: www.costaricacanadalaw.com there are Testimonials from Clients, a bio of myself, and a Blogs tab, with approximately eighty legal articles regarding issues of importance to expats contemplating a move to Costa Rica, including the requirements for a Temporary Residency Application. The following link will take you directly to the Blogs tab articles on my website: https://costaricacanadalaw.com/blog/ I look forward to your future contact through the email address on my website of: [email protected]
