"Hola Scott! It was some time ago when I asked you for a reference to legal counsel for a particularly ornery situation with MINAE. Well, we FINALLY got the last permit to complete the construction of our vacation villa in Manuel Antonio. Your recommendation led us to an environmental law specialist, Lic. Mauricio Salas. Thanks to Sr. Salas, we have prevailed in every instance over the MINAE follies. We are very pleased and have you to thank for the introduction(s) that led us to the right guy who got the job done. Saludos y muchisimas gracias." Coleman Alderson, Manuel Antonio. Costa Rica.

I have also used 2 different lawyers from your site for title searches and they too were very professional and efficient.
Thanks for any help and I appreciate everything that you have done for us already.
