RETAINING A FOREIGN ATTORNEY
I. In retaining the services of a foreign attorney the following
guidelines may assist you in protecting your interests.
I. Selecting an attorney
When you receive a list of attorneys, it would be wise for
you to contact several, briefly describing the nature of the
services you desire. Before you decide which attorney to employ,
ask for a written schedule of fees generally charged for the
services you need, ask whether the attorney is fluent in English,
and become acquainted with him or her. Do not turn over your
documents or funds until you are certain that the attorney
understands your problem and is willing to handle your case.
II. Assistance of the U.S. Embassy
Should your association with a foreign attorney prove unsatisfactory,
a U.S. consular officer can contact the attorney on your behalf
in an effort to facilitate your communication. In addition,
complaints against foreign lawyers whose names appear on the
attorneys list can result in the removal of their names from
that list.
III. Coordination with Counsel in the U.S.
American 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. However, American attorneys
experienced in international law may be helpful in explaining
complex international issues involved in your case and some
may have associates or partners abroad to whom they can refer
you.
IV. How to deal with your foreign attorney?
a) Find out the attorney's qualifications and experience.
b) Find out how the attorney plans to represent you. Ask
specific questions and expect the attorney to explain legal
procedures in language that you can understand.
c) Find out what fees the attorney charges and how he expects
to be paid. 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;
and some may take the case on a percentage basis, collecting
a pre-arranged percentage of the monies awarded to you by the
foreign court. You may also want to consider setting up an
escrow account from which the attorney can collect his fees
only if and when he or she has had some success with your case.
d) Ask that your attorney keep you informed on the progress
of your case according to a pre-arranged schedule. Remember
that most foreign courts work rather slowly. You may, therefore,
wish 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.
e) Have your attorney analyze your case, giving you the positive
and negative aspects and probable outcome (if possible).
f) Do not expect your attorney to give a simple answer to
a complex legal problem. Be sure that you understand the technical
language of any contract or other legal document prepared by
your attorney you sign it.
g) Keep your attorney fully informed of any new developments
in the case.
h) If you need to provide complex or technical documents
to your attorney, you may wish to consider having the
documents translated into Spanish. Remember, an elementary
knowledge of English may not be enough to enable the attorney
to understand the documents you provide.
i) Be honest with your attorney. Tell him every relevant
fact in order to get the best representation of your interests.
j) Find out how much time the attorney anticipates the case
may take to complete.
k) Request copies of all letters and documents prepared on
your behalf.
V. Assistance of the Department of State.
If you have additional questions, contact the Office of Citizen
Consular Services, Room 4811, Department of State, Washington
D.C. 20520.

h) Whether the lawyer's services will be temporary or permanent;
i) The lawyer's personal responsibility and liability in
the case;
