Legal Information

List of Attorneys

This list of attorneys is provided to aid U.S. citizens in need of legal advice or services within Haiti. Although the Consular Section of the Embassy makes every effort to ensure that only firms and individuals of repute are included on this list and that the information provided herein is correct, the Embassy assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms on this list, or the accuracy of the information provided. Additionally, fees are set solely between attorney and client, and the Embassy has no involvement or responsibility in this matter. It is recommended, however, that the client insist upon a written contract stating exactly what the attorney is expected to do and for what fees.

When legal services are required in a city other than Port-au-Prince, it is believed that the most satisfactory results will be obtained by correspondence with an attorney in Port-au-Prince who will in turn communicate with one of his or her correspondents in the smaller cities.

This booklet has two sections.  The first is a list of attorneys which has the name, address, telephone number, education, and types of legal practice of each attorney. The second section is an index of attorneys by type of practice to simplify the search for an attorney with a particular legal expertise.  The names are arranged alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance.

Should you have difficulty with an attorney, please provide the Consular Section with your complaint in writing. This will aid us in ensuring that only reputable lawyers remain on this list. If you have corrections or additions to this list, they should also be submitted in writing.
