Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If you are moving to beautiful Costa Rica you must have this guide. It details in plane English the legal system in Costa Rica. It answers questions on citizenship, visa's, work permit, labor laws, and has sample forms of Costa Rican legal forms. If your planning on moving to Costa Rica and starting a business in Costa Rica you must own this guide, period. Great help on avoiding getting burned! The best part is the author is a Costa Rican born US Citizen educated in the U.S. including law school and lives in Costa Rica. He knows his stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this and know as much as the average CR lawyer!!, October 19, 2009

This review is from: The Legal Guide to Costa Rica (Paperback)
The very best source for a lay person to become aware of Costa Rican law and its application. Everyone who reads english and resides full or part time in Costa Rica needs this reference. In a country where an attorney must be hired by anyone purchasing a car,a non common law country where stare decisis and precedent do not apply, where it takes seven years to get a case to trial, You must be aware of the "LEY." Easy enough to read that legal students will probably be using it as a study reference. If you have any interest in the wonderful country of Costa Rica, you need to have this reference in your library! (anonymous)

5.0 out of 5 stars The must-have legal guide, September 20, 2005
This book has been invaluable in understanding Costa Rica's laws and pointing out issues of concern. My family rented a home in Costa Rica and the lease was exactly as written in this book. We are looking at purchasing property and now know how to research online and what to look out for. I wouldn't be half as comfortable in Costa Rica without this book. A must-have for anyone serious about living, working or doing business in Costa Rica.
