Looking to obtain a pension visa and would like a recommendation for an attorney.

In the "expert.com" chat room, I asked a question yesterday or the day before to find a lawyer specialising in civil and/or criminal law, preferably speaking French, if not English. I can't see my request being broadcast on the chat.

I can easily recommend Carol J*** as an Immigration Attorney in Panama City.  Keep in mind her law service is herself (the lawyer), her American US Army (Ret) husband and her two adult sons from a previous marriage.  It is not a large legal firm and they do handle multiple people per day going through Migration, so be patient, but they get things done efficiently.  From start to finish we had our visas in 4 months.  They helped with the drivers licenses, eCedulas, establishing bank a bank account, finding & buying a car and even reviewing our first rental agreement.  Good people, friendly and care about their clients.  Carol even brought me some over the counter medicine to my hotel in Panama City when I came down with a bug.

I've just read your message. Thank you very much for that and for all the details about your lawyer. I have taken note of her contact details, which are very useful to us. Many thanks again.
