General Information

The Embassy's consular district encompasses all of Colombia. A consular agent in Barranquilla is available to assist the Embassy in handling U.S. citizen emergencies on the north coast. The Embassy in Bogotá assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear on this list. The order in which they appear has no significance (it is alphabetical by city; under each city by field of specialty; under each field by law firm or lawyer's name). Qualifications were provided by the attorneys themselves. U.S. consular officers are prohibited from giving legal advice and from acting as agents, attorneys or in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens travelling or residing in a foreign country are subject to the laws and regulations of that country.

Retaining a Foreign Attorney

In retaining the services of a foreign attorney concerning a private dispute abroad, the following guidelines may assist you in protecting your interests:

  1. Selecting an Attorney

    When you receive a list of attorneys, it is recommended that you contact several attorneys, briefly describing the nature of the services you desire. Before you decide which attorney to engage, request a written schedule of fees generally charged for the services you need, inquire whether the attorney is fluent in the English language, and become acquainted with a particular attorney. Do not submit any documents or funds until you are certain that the attorney understands your problem and is willing to handle your case.


  2. U.S. Attorneys

    Some U.S. attorneys, members of the Bar, may not be admitted to practice law for all purposes in Colombia, for instance, by personally appearing in Colombian courts for their clients. You may therefore wish to confirm that he/she can adequately represent you in your particular legal problem.


  3. Notaries Public

    In some foreign countries, notaries public ("notaries") can perform many of the functions performed by attorneys in the United States. For example, foreign notaries frequently draft instruments, wills and conveyances. In some countries, a notary public is an official, appointed by the Ministry of Justice, whose functions include not only the preparation of documents, but the administration and settlement of estates. Such notaries may serve as repositories for wills and are empowered to serve legal documents. They are not lawyers, but are very specialized members of the legal profession. They may not plead cases in court.


  4. Coordination with Counsel in the U.S.

    Some U.S. attorneys may not be in a position to represent your interests abroad, particularly because they will not be permitted to participate in foreign court proceedings under the laws of the foreign country. U.S. attorneys experienced in international law may be helpful in explaining the complex international issues involved in your case and some may have associates or partners abroad to whom they can refer you.


  5. Legal Aid Association

    There may be facilities in a foreign country for low cost or free legal services. Ask the local bar association or the Ministry of Justice about the availability of legal aid. You may also wish to consult the Directory of Legal Aid and Advice Facilities Available throughout the World, published by the International Legal Aid Association:

    International Legal Aid Association
    c/o The International Bar Association
    271 Regent Street
    London W1R 7PA
    England

    Telephone: (44-171) 629-1206

    Fax: (44-171) 409-0456

    See also: "The Availability of Legal Services to Poor People and People of Limited Means in Foreign Systems", International Lawyer, Vol. 6, No. 1, p.128, 1971.


  6. How to Deal with Your Foreign Attorney

    Always research the attorney's qualifications and experience. Find out how the attorney plans to represent you. Ask specific questions and expect the attorney to explain legal activities in a language that you can understand. Ask what fees the attorney or notary charges and how he/she expects to be paid. Notaries are sometimes government officials who must charge fees established by their government. Some attorneys may expect to be paid in advance; some may demand payment after each action they take on your behalf, refusing to take further action until they are paid. Some may take the case on a percentage basis, collecting a pre-arranged percentage of the moneys awarded to you by the foreign court. In 1976, the Law Library of the Library of Congress prepared a report entitled Payment of Attorneys' Fees in European Countries. You can obtain a copy of this report by contacting the Library of Congress directly at:

    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS LAW LIBRARY
    101 INDEPENDENCE AVE SE RM 240 JAMES MADISON BLDG.

    WASHINGTON DC 20540

    Telephone: (202) 707-5000

    Ask your attorney to keep you informed of the progress of your case according to a pre-established schedule. Remember that most court calendars are crowded. You may, therefore, wish to ask the attorney to send you monthly reports, even though no real developments have ensued, simply to satisfy your doubts about the progress of the case. Have your attorney analyze your case, giving you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome. Do not expect your attorney to give a simple answer to a complex legal problem. Be sure that you understand the technical language in any contract or other legal document prepared by your attorney before you sign it. Keep your attorney fully informed of any new developments in the case. If you need to provide complex or technical documents to your attorney, you may wish to consider having the documents translated into the native language. An elementary knowledge of English may not be enough to enable the attorney to understand the documents you provide. Tell the attorney every relevant fact in order to get the best representation of your interests. Find out how much time the attorney anticipates the case may take to complete. Request copies of all letters and documents prepared on your behalf.


  7. Assistance of the Department of State

    If you have additional questions, you may contact:

    OFFICE OF CITIZEN'S CONSULAR SERVICES
    DEPARTMENT OF STATE
    WASHINGTON DC 20520

    Telephone: (202) 647-3444


  8. Complaints against Foreign Attorneys

    If the services of your attorney prove unsatisfactory, in addition to notifying the Department of State and the U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad, you may address your complaints to the local (foreign) bar association.


  9. Credit Reports

    Credit reports can usually be obtained through banks or through commercial reporting agencies such as Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. In Bogotá there are branches of Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., Philadelphia National Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank and the Bank of America.


The Embassy at Bogotá assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons and/or firms listed.
