What are the odds of blindly picking a good attorney in Mexico? I figure its probably very regional but I'll take whatever you have. I'm looking into Quintana Roo near Chetumal.
I'd also like your opinion on scales of crooked. On a scale of 1-10 how good is the average.
1 - out to steal everything from day one no matter what
5- Wants to help but is ineffective OR Is just indifferent
10 - Willing to go against Mexicans (God forbid their family) and really fight/bribe for you to get it done
I am not going to blindly pick but I'd like to get an idea. I figure most of us need a 7 or 8 (10 is a fairy tale unless your Coca-Cola)...honest, hard working and 1% dirty. But we all know if it gets really ugly (the Cartel takes your house) he might be gone.
I know in other Latin Countries its not really crooked per se that is the problem. Sometimes it just a complicated poorly run system. I have friends fighting an eviction from a commercial space in Costa Rica. They have a great lawyer (9.2 ish lol) and have won the case (not in court but on the streets). The cops are on their side but they are completely confused about how to "side with the gringos". Its just never happened before! Its nice to watch the country mature, funny to see them bewildered.
Anyway, I hope not to many of you have horror stories.
