Attorney Eduardo Rojas and his highly competent team are the reason that my son has his father in his life.

ERP Lawyers is a group of experts in international family law, and they are also compassionate through their practice of law.

My son was abducted from the United States and taken to Costa Rica. If it weren’t for ERP Lawyers and their thorough efforts within international family law I do not think I would have been reunited with my son.

The sad fact is that family law in Costa Rica is wrongly biased towards mothers and can often violate human rights of a child to know their father.

While this is a widely known issue in Costa Rica it is immensely difficult for fathers to overcome the negative position that a father begins with in the family courts of Costa Rica.

Thanks to Eduardo Rojas and his team we were able to navigate numerous processes in order to allow my son the human right to be reunited with his father after many years

Eduardo Rojas, Jose Azofeifa, and ERP Lawyers displayed great teamwork, integrity, responsiveness, and flexibility to work with me internationally.

Moreover they were diligent and persistent in pursuing the truth through law practices that allowed my son to finally be reunited with his father.

I have Eduardo Rojas and his team to thank for future years where my son and I will justly be allowed to grow our relationship as father and son.

I give my highest recommendation to anyone needing expert and compassionate support in international family law.

Mundo Acuático decided more than 3 years ago to look for a firm that not only limited itself to providing us with the legal documents that were requested in different institutions, we wanted to have people who had vision and could advise us on the different challenges and changes both Governmental and of the Private entity.

We are an SME that does not have a legal department, so it was very important to have lawyers to guide us, so that our company was always a step forward, both in administrative, labor, commercial and tax law.

It was a great pleasure to start working with ERP Lawyers and Associates, all our doubts and fears were covered, without neglecting the great kindness with which we have always been attended to.

I have been using ERP for almost 7 years.

I have used Mr. Rojas and his team for family matters, residency, articles of incorporation, property puchases and investing in Costa Rica.

ERP has consistently, been courteous professional and prompt in responding to any legal questions I have had about doing business in Costa Rica.I would highly recommend ERP to anyone that is looking to live or do business in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a great place to visit, live and do business and having the right counsel is absolutely necessary.

I cannot stress enough how impressed I have been with Mr. Rojas and his team.

If you are applying for residency, purchasing a home or have any questions about the way things work in Costa Rica, ERP is the best hands down.

They were initially recommended to me by the US Embassy and I have been extremely happy with them.

Hello Eduardo, I am writing to complement your team is work in relation to my recent purchase of Condominium Unit. I was initially impressed by your team is mastery of the English Language.

I have been in Costa Rica for 20 years and normally speak Spanish 90% of the time, even with those who speak English.

I generally speak Spanish with everyone unless their English is better than my Spanish, which is not usually the case. I was also impressed with your team is attention to detail.

Over the course of the purchase, I had sent a couple of emails that contained a series of technical questions and they were answered in a precise and timely manner.

I have done a lot of real estate closings in the past, and I have more than once found errors in the closing statement. Given that I have an accounting background, I paid careful attention to the closing statement, which was perfectly prepared.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that no corrections were needed. At first, I thought it unusual to close in a MUCAP branch.

But I quickly discovered that the branch manager worked with us to quickly verify the fund is transfers and loan cancellation.

In any case, ERP Lawyers handled the entire closing very smoothly and professionally with the seller, the seller is attorney, and the bank manager and employees. In conclusion, I am happy to say that ERP lawyers did a great job
