U.S. Citizen Services

Retaining an Attorney Abroad 

The following guidelines may be helpful to you in retaining the services of an attorney abroad to protect your interests.

Selecting an Attorney
It is wise to contact several attorneys, briefly describing the nature of the services you desire.  Before deciding which attorney to employ, ask for a written schedule of fees generally charged for the services you need.  Be sure to ask whether the attorney is fluent in English.  Do not turn over documents or funds until you are certain that the attorney fully understands your legal needs and is willing to handle your case.

Assistance from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate
Should your communication with a foreign attorney prove unsatisfactory, a U.S. consular officer may if appropriate, communicate with the attorney on your behalf.  In addition, complaints against foreign attorneys whose names appear on the list can result in the removal of their names from the list.

Coordination with Counsel in the United States
American attorneys may not be in a position to represent your interests abroad, particularly because they will not be permitted to participate in foreign court proceedings under the laws of the foreign country.  American attorneys experienced in international procedure may be helpful in explaining the complex international issues involved in your case and some may have associates or partners abroad to whom they can refer you.

Legal Aid Association
There may be facilities in the foreign country for low-cost or free legal services.  If the information about such assistance is not included in the list of attorneys, ask the local bar association of the Ministry of Justice about the availability of legal aid.

How to deal with your foreign attorney
a) Find out the attorney’s qualifications and experience.
b) Find out how the attorney plans to represent you.  Ask specific questions and expect the attorney to explain the legal process in the country concerned, as well as the legal activities planned on your behalf, in language that you can understand.  Have your attorney analyze your case, giving you the positive and negative aspects and probable outcome.  Be honest with your attorney.  Tell the attorney every relevant fact in order to get the best representation of your interests.  Do not fail to ask how much time the attorney anticipates the case may take to complete.
c) Find out what fees the country charges and what fees are expected.  Some attorneys expect payment in advance; some demand payment after each action taken, refusing to proceed until they are paid.  Others may take the case on a  percentage basis, collecting a pre-arranged percentage of the monies awarded by a foreign court.
d) Ask that your attorney keep you advised of the progress your case according to a pre-established schedule.  Remember your responsibility to keep your attorney informed of any new developments in your case.  Request copies of all letters and documents prepared on your behalf.
e) Do not expect your attorney to give a simple answer to a complex legal problem.  Be sure you understand the technical language contained in any contract or other legal document prepared by your attorney.

NOTE;  In some countries the courts recess for a period of several months during the summer.  In addition, even if the case is resolved, currency control laws are often complex and may delay the transfer of funds awarded to you from the foreign country for an indefinite period of time.

Assistance from the Department of State 

If you have additional questions, contact the appropriate division of the Office of Citizens Services at:

Department of State
SA-29, Fourth
2201 C Street NW
Washington, D.C. 20520
Telephone:  (202) 647-5226

Complaints against foreign attorneys

If the service of your foreign attorney proves unsatisfactory, in addition to notifying the Department of State and the United States Embassy or Consulate abroad, you may address your complaints to the local foreign bar association.
