Our lawyers have long experience in representing clients in real estate, commercial, employment, civil, estate and probate, intellectual property and medical malpractice litigation at all levels of the court system of the Dominican Republic, including the Supreme Court. Our trial attorneys have been recognized as preeminent in their fields for many years. In 1962, our founder was the lead counsel for the prosecution in the trial of the murderers of the Mirabal sisters, the national heroines killed for their opposition to the Trujillo dictatorship. In 2002, Guzmán Ariza was the leading Dominican law firm assisting the families of the victims of the crash of American Airlines Flight #587 in New York in November 2002. Today, we routinely represent clients in multimillion dollar cases all over the . Examples of current litigation are:
| |
Our representation of a major international banking institution against two Dominican banks in a commercial suit claiming the proceeds of a foreclosure plus damages. This case is presently at the Supreme Court on appeal by the defendants. |
| |
Our defense of an American real estate consulting corporation against claims by a contractor for labor benefits under the laws of the Dominican Republic. |
| |
Our representation of multiple condominium associations foreclosing units based on unpaid maintenance fees by owners. |
| |
Our representation of a sports entrepreneur who was left semi-paralyzed by herniated-disc surgery. We successfully sued the three doctors involved in the procedure and the hospital. The case is presently at the Santo Domingo Civil Court of Appeals. |
| |
Our representation of a private aircraft owner in a law suit for collision damages against a major US Airline.
|
| |
Our representation of a large industrial Japanese multinational against the fraudulent registration of their trademark in the Dominican Republic. |
Our lawyers are always prepared to share the risks and rewards of obtaining a favorable result for our clients. We never charge you by the hour. Instead, we charge a nominal fixed litigation fee per case per level of representation (Court of First Instance, Court of Appeals, Supreme Court) plus an incentive fee only if the results are favorable to you. We are the first and only law firm dealing with international clients to establish this client-friendly billing system in the Dominican Republic.
Attorneys in our law firm have also served extensively as experts in litigation involving the application of Dominican law in foreign jurisdictions. Our Senior Partner, Fabio J. Guzman Ariza, has submitted numerous affidavits and opinions on Dominican law to Courts in the United States and Europe, and has served as an expert witness on Dominican Law before courts in the United States.
