Scope of practice · Puerto Rico

Medical malpractice, personal injury, and special education.

We handle cases and consultations exclusively in Puerto Rico in these areas. Choose one to learn more.

Free, strictly confidential initial consultation

Every initial consultation in medical malpractice, personal injury, and special education is free of charge and conducted on a strictly confidential basis. Before a meeting can be arranged, our automated Clio Grow intake process must be completed. The office reviews whether the matter falls within its practice areas and meets its acceptance criteria, including the severity of injuries when relevant. Only if a consultation is appropriate does the office arrange a videoconference for the prospective client’s benefit and convenience.

Consultations we do not handle

We do not provide consultations or undertake legal representation in matters involving family law, criminal law, labor or employment law, Social Security, succession and inheritance law, estate planning, bankruptcy, immigration, real estate, or consumer rights.

Need help in another area of law?

If your matter falls within one of these areas and you would like a referral, you may request one by email. Whenever possible, we will be happy to provide, as a courtesy and free of charge, contact information for attorneys who handle that type of matter.

Request a referral by email

The referral is offered solely as a courtesy. It does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the referred professional’s services, nor does it create an attorney-client relationship with our office regarding that matter. Selecting and retaining the professional is solely the responsibility of the interested person.
