Our practice areas
Advisory, representation and legal solutions for people who have been defrauded, are going through a family process, or need to pursue an economic claim — wherever they live.
Hacked accounts, identity theft, phishing or online extortion? We guide you through the complaint, the preservation of evidence and the legal routes to hold those responsible accountable.
Investment, crypto and wire-transfer scams, fake sellers or unauthorized charges. We assess your case, build the file and pursue claims against the parties and institutions involved.
Divorce, custody, child support and agreements — including cases where spouses or children live in different countries — and recognition of foreign decrees.
Advice on recovering prizes and pursuing economic claims: we verify that the claim is legitimate, document it and follow it through the proper formal channels.
We never promise guaranteed results. Every case starts with an honest assessment of your options, your evidence and the applicable law.
International coverage
The same problem is handled differently in each country. Here is a quick orientation — your own case always gets its own analysis under the applicable legislation.
Reports go to the public prosecutor (Fiscalía) and the police cyber unit; complaints against financial institutions go through CONDUSEF.
Report to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the FTC, and notify your bank or platform immediately.
Computer crimes are criminalized by Law 1273 of 2009 and reported to the Fiscalía and the National Police's virtual CAI.
Evidence disappears fast. Screenshots, transaction IDs and wallet addresses saved today make every legal route stronger.
CONDUSEF receives complaints against financial institutions; criminal fraud is pursued before the Fiscalía.
The FTC, the SEC or CFTC (investments and crypto) and state attorneys general receive complaints, and banks have their own dispute windows.
The Superintendencia Financiera supervises financial entities, and the Fiscalía prosecutes fraud (estafa).
Each country has different deadlines to dispute a transaction or file a claim — the earlier you reach out, the more options stay open.
A foreign divorce decree generally needs recognition (homologación) by a Mexican court to take effect there and be reflected in the civil registry.
Divorce is decided by a state court under that state's rules on property, support and custody.
A foreign judgment generally needs exequatur from the Supreme Court of Justice to produce effects in Colombia.
A divorce granted in one country does not automatically change your status in the others. We plan the recognition steps with you.
Apostilles are issued by state authorities or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), depending on the document.
Apostilled by the Secretary of State of the issuing state, or by the U.S. Department of State for federal documents.
Apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; foreign documents in other languages usually need an official Spanish translation.
All three countries belong to the Hague Apostille Convention, so the right apostille is what makes a document valid across borders.

Mexico, the United States and Colombia. We provide international legal guidance and support in accordance with the legislation applicable to each case.
We assess whether the claim is legitimate, gather the documentation and pursue it through formal channels. Be careful with anyone who asks you to pay fees upfront to release a prize — it is a very common scam pattern.
Yes. We handle divorce and family matters remotely, including cases with spouses or children in different countries, and the recognition of foreign decrees where needed.
An apostille is a certificate that makes a public document valid abroad. Mexico, the U.S. and Colombia are all Hague Apostille members, so a properly apostilled document is accepted in the others — sometimes with an official translation.
After the initial consultation you receive a written proposal with scope, timeline and fees. You approve it before we start — no hidden charges along the way.
