lawyers in Panama

[SALTEMECULA]

Does anyone have a list of lawyers who do the Pensionado visa in Panama City? or a list of lawyers to avoid if bad experiences occured? Sal

Hi Sal,

This is the attorney that's been speaking at International Living conferences for more than 15 years:

(Their firm handles residence/visas, real estate, business/corporations, estate planning, pet relocation assistance, and more)

Rainelda Mata-Kelly
Mata-Kelly & Partners
Local tel: +(507) 216-9299
From the US/Canada: (011 507) 216-9299

I don't have a list of attorneys to avoid but there are indeed bad lawyers in any country, so it's best to deal with someone who's well-established with a solid reputation.

Best,
IL Panama Editor Jess Ramesch

Here's a link to a conversation between 2 expats and a Panama lawyer that they used and liked.

I engaged the same firm and so far, so good. I'm waiting on the US Dept. of State for apostilled documents.
