About Thompson, Barrientos, Obando & Soto Abogados

Thompson, Barrientos, Obando & Soto Abogados is a law firm created with a main commitment: fulfill our client’s highest expectations by providing top quality legal services. Therefore, the advice provided to our clients is the result of conscientious legal analysis for the benefit of our clients’ interests but keeping in mind their harmony with local legislation.

Our law firm provides a wide range of services, although it has specialized in real estate, foreign investment, estate planning, tourism law, commercial law, corporate law and civil law. Additionally, we provide notary public services.

We have strategically selected the locations of our offices in Costa Rica in order to efficiently provide the legal services that our clients may require; thus, we have offices in San José (Main Office), Quepos (Central Pacific) and Puerto Viejo (Limón- South Caribbean).

Based on a Co-Council Agreement between TBO&S Abogados and Zumpano, Patricios & Winker – a Law Firm with offices in Miami, Palm Beach and Key West- we are able to respond to our clients’ legal needs in the United States, especially in South Florida. Through our co-counseling services, our clients are able to address legal matters in the United States from Costa Rica, without committing to extra expenses in order to seek and hire an attorney in the US, and they can do their corresponding follow ups from our offices in Costa Rica as well. Our attorneys have direct access to ZPW’s attorneys and are in constant communication.
