Clarity, Transparency,Legal Certainty

With over 40 years of professional experience, I am the founder of GM Attorneys and have guided clients through complex criminal matters in Costa Rica and beyond — from financial crimes and corruption to high-stakes litigation before national and international courts. Early in my career, I saw something others didn't: the extraordinary potential of Guanacaste as a destination for international real estate investment. Acting on that vision, I established our presence there long before it became a magnet for global investors. That decision shaped our firm's DNA—strategic thinking, technical excellence, and genuine connection with the communities we serve. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

I am an attorney with over 25 years of experience. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, hold a dual Master's degree in Tax and Business Law, and am fluent in English and Spanish. As Managing Partner at GM Attorneys, I dedicate my practice to ensuring that every client's investment or project in Costa Rica is secure and runs smoothly from start to finish. My expertise lies in real estate and corporate law, as well as tax planning, where I take pride in delivering solutions that combine legal precision with agile, personalized service. My career began in the public sector, where I gained a deep appreciation for regulatory clarity and the art of strategic negotiation. Since 2004, I have led our firm, advising investors and companies, particularly foreign clients, who rely on a trusted legal partner to navigate Costa Rica's market. For more than 20 years, I have worked, raised my family, and built my career in Guanacaste. In that time, I have watched this coast evolve from an emerging market into a destination where people from around the world choose to invest, build, and call home. Living that change firsthand gives me context that shapes the advice I give every day. My greatest satisfaction comes from seeing clients close their real estate and investment projects with confidence, knowing everything was done right and on time, and from becoming the firm they trust for long-term legal support.

I guide individuals, businesses, and communities through complex legal processes with a balance of firmness, empathy, and strategic vision. With over 25 years of experience in civil and commercial law, I focus on real estate and business transactions, estate and corporate law, and resolving condominium property disputes. What I enjoy most is untangling legal knots—bringing clarity to complex situations and finding sustainable solutions that protect my clients' interests. Based in our Playa Nosara office, I combine my legal practice with a strong commitment to the coastal community where I live. I speak English and Spanish.

I have called Guanacaste home for over nine years, which means I understand first-hand what it takes to settle, invest, and build a life in Costa Rica. I work closely with foreign clients on real estate, immigration, and corporate matters, offering guidance that is practical, clear, and personal. As an attorney and notary public with advanced studies in Notarial and Registry Law, and a specialization in artificial intelligence applied to legal practice, I use technology as a tool to simplify processes and make the legal experience faster and more accessible. I speak English and Spanish.

Graduated from the University of Costa Rica with a specialization in Environmental Law, and holding a postgraduate certification in Notary and Registry Law, I work seamlessly across jurisdictions to deliver solutions that are thoughtful, effective, and sustainable.

Currently pursuing my Law degree, I continue to build on this foundation with one goal in mind: helping clients invest with confidence, even when they are doing so far from home. I speak English and Spanish.

I am particularly drawn to legal work that involves research, analysis, and a detailed understanding of complex matters.
