Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

Your Case Is Our Priority

Scales of justice, Libre Verdad law offices in Playas del Coco

We are an empathetic legal team that understands the need for clear answers and guidance. We will advise you in order to help protect your integrity, family, finances and property, among others. Whatever the case, we are prepared to give you the best customer service-oriented legal advice. We specialize in litigation, both civil and criminal as well as family law, real estate and immigration law. Our integrity and ethics are an integral part of our business and for each of our clients. With that in mind we take billing transparency and continuous communication seriously. 

Most firms in Guanacaste settle. We try cases.

Litigation is not a service we advertise and rarely perform. It is what this office does. We prepare a file as though it is going to a judge, because often it is, and that changes what the other side is willing to offer long before a hearing date arrives.

That matters most when the thing in dispute is land. A fence in the wrong place, a cadastral plan that does not match the registry, a contractor who took the money and left, a purchase that can never be registered. These are the cases we take, in Spanish and in English, for Costa Ricans and for foreign owners who did not grow up inside this system.

Traffic accident in Guanacaste

A collision near Filadelfia left a foreign resident facing a traffic case and liens on his vehicle. A careful review of the evidence decided it.

A lifetime on the same land

A Nicoya family farm, siblings against nephews, and a registered title that did not match forty years of possession.

40 years, not a single paper

A Guanacaste family had held the same land since the 1980s with no registered title. Possessory title finally put it in their name.

He paid $25,000 for land that could never be his

He paid USD 25,000 for a Guanacaste lot he could never register. How a cadastral overlap, a probate case and a breach-of-contract suit got the money back.

They provide a great service and as a foreigner here it's been extremely helpful to have such experienced and knowledgeable guidance through the many processes and applications we have had to complete here in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Libre Verdad for any and all legal needs. Can't thank them enough for the help they've provided me and my family.
