My brother married in the DR in 1992 and a couple of years later he separated from his wife and lost contact with her. He just saw her again on sunday and she told him that she filed for divorce in La Vega. But refused to give him more information how can he obtain a copy of the divorce decree. We do not have any family in the dominican republic who can get this for him will an attorney do it for a fee? and if so can you recomend one.

divorce decree
Searching for a particular divorce can be very time consuming unless one knows the precise date of the divorce and the precise location of the civil registry ("Oficialia de Estado Civil") in which the divorce was recorded. Assuming your brother separated from his wife in 1994 or later, the recommended course of action would be to search the records in every civil registry office in La Vega from 1994 on.
Dear Fabio,
Thanks for replying to my post. The question that you did not answer was if an attorney can do it for him because we do not have any family or relatives in the DR. Please advise my brother wants to remarry and he wants to be sure that everything is ok before doing so.
Thanks,
Anny

Robert is right. There are many lawyers who will charge less than Fabio Guzman. But if you want to be sure of getting full value, then Fabio is an excellent choice.
He is busy, but he has a firm with a number of lawyers. It is not a one-lawyer operation.
It is not my place or that of anyone else on the board to tell you what he will charge.
We had a good example on the board recently of what can and does happen all to often. A poster hired a lawyer to determine that the car she was buying had a clear title. She got a favorable report and bought the car. Then it turned out that the car she bought had been stolen and actually belonged to someone else. When she posted she was looking for a lawyer to help her get her money back. Not surprisingly, she was looking for someone other than the attorney who she had paid to get her into that situation.
When people on this board ask for a lawyer, we refer them to someone we know we can trust. After all, our reputations are on the line every time we make a recommendation.
