Is it a crime in this country to act as a lawyer without having a lawyer`s licence? ( Immigration-naturalization matters, residency, etc) ? And if so, what is the punishment for an imposter who presents himself as a "lawyer-abogado de immigracion" to foreigners who do not speak Spanish and are not familiar with the local legal requirements and rules of order?
By the same token, is it a crime to provide paid translation services (oral and written) on a commercial basis to foreigners without having a valid Dominican translator`s licence?
What are the bodies/agencies to watch and regulate this kind of behavior?
