Trusted by Clients,
proven in Court
"I was impressed with the professional, pleasant sophistication of the office itself, and was equally reassured by the calm, thoughtful and attentive demeanour of Mr. Cruz Rico. He took care to thoroughly understand the issues from my (the client's) perspective, and he also took care to explain the complexities of the facts and applicable law and legal processes.
As Mexican Civil Law is very different from the English (Canadian) Common Law, and as Mexican law...I knew, being myself a retired Canadian lawyer, that I would be wise to retain legal counsel trained and experienced in Mexico. Of course, as Mr. Cruz Rico is also trained and experienced in Canada, he was well able to understand my perspectives and assist me in understanding the differences in the two legal systems"
