LIST OF ATTORNEYS
June 2010
The Rio de Janeiro Consular District includes the States of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Sergipe.
This list includes attorneys in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia.
The American Consulate at Rio de Janeiro assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or integrity or
reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the following persons or firms. Inclusion on this list is in no way an
endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy/Consulate. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in
which they appear has no other significance. The information in the list on professional credentials, areas of expertise and
language ability are provided directly by the lawyers. You may receive additional information about the individuals by
contacting the local bar association (or its equivalent) or the local licensing authorities.
The following guidelines may be helpful:
Contact several attorneys, briefly describe the nature of the services you desire, and find out the attorney’s qualifications and
experience. Ask for a written schedule of fees charged for the services you need. Do not turn over documents or funds until
you are certain the attorney understands your legal needs and will handle your case.
When dealing with your attorney find out how the attorney plans to represent you. Ask specific questions and expect the
attorney to explain the legal process and the legal activities planned on your behalf, in a language you understand. Have your
attorney analyze your case and give you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome. Tell the attorney every
relevant fact needed to represent your interests.
Ask you attorney to keep you advised of the process of your case according to a pre-established schedule. Request copies of all
letters and documents prepared on your behalf.
