It seems to me, based on the experience of many Gringos, that a DR attorney will require, or insist, that his / her new client, DR or Gringo, sign a PoA, authorizing the lawyer to do something [?] in the name of the client.
* I have never heard of this practice in the USA. Why is it routinely performed, or perhaps required, in the DR?
* A DR attorney & friend told me that the attorney is legally required to give the [new] client a copy of the signed PoA he / she has just signed. Based on my limited experience, all hearsay, this is nearly never done by the DR attorney.
* When problems arise - which appears common - the client is helpless. I & the typical Gringo client wallow in confusion!
* Can someone enlighten me? Thank you.
