Staying out of Jail

Two things to bear in mind:

DO NOT DO ANY KIND OF DRUGS: Dominicans take a dim view of tourists smoking pot or doing any kind of drugs. The jail in Puerto Plata bears witness to that. Try to avoid the company of the inmates at the jail there. It can be inconvenient and very costly to get out.

The second is to AVOID GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS while driving. Driving is very dangerous: traffic signals or street signs, such as ONE way signs, are often not obeyed. Stay out of trouble and have someone else do the driving. Think of this: During Semana Santa or Holy Week there are usually about 50 people killed and about 300 injuries. The annual trip to the beaches and rivers, accompanied by large amounts of alcohol, excitement, and frivolity claim about 50 lives. Over 30,000 volunteers wearing orange T-shirts patrolled the roads beaches and highways over the week of Semana Santa holiday.

Lawyers

Hopefully you will not need one; however if you fall in love with the country you might want to buy a house in which to retire or live there for a few months at a time. I thoroughly recommend the Perdomo brothers who live and work in Sosua for all those things connected with REAL ESTATE. Guido is the lawyer and Juan is in real Estate. Guido's number is 809-571-1950 or 809-571-3274. Offices are at PEDRO CLISANTE NO 73 or right on the main street. Guido is helpful to know if you want to buy property, get your friend out of jail, or obtain a Residencia. The mailing address is EPS-C165,BOX 02-5553, Miami ,Florida, 33102.

Another kind of lawyer is one who does evictions from business and houses as well as real estate. First of all, NEVER allow a Dominican into your house to live no matter how much is offered for rent. Dominican renters have great rights over absentee owners of businesses and houses. However, in the event that you must do an eviction through official legal channels, I suggest that you contact the following lawyer in Sosua: Dr. Josue Burgos Rosario, Telephone 809-571-4536. I have found him to be very reliable. His picture is at the top of the photos. He will also look after house purchases and sales, passports, vehicle licence changes, etc. I believe you can trust him completely.

Another lawyer whom I know quite well is Hector Martinez. He may be reached at 809-571-3106. Hector is trying to get into Real Estate with a partner and has had good success with the new Russian investors. See the photo of the office in Sosua.

If you are in need of a lawyer in Santo Domingo, the capital, I suggest that you contact Dra. Patricia De la Rosa or someone in that law firm. Pedro A, Lluberes No. 9 SD. Tel. 829-921-3874
