Aragón & Aragón / Guatemala Law Firm

There are several concepts that people do not know and practice, i even… and other that are known and do not practice by education… There is preventive medicine, by exa. the periodic vaccines, controls, etc.; there are insurances to avoid to pay if they rob the car, and by this we made sure, is but, to no we need an accountant close.

However when one is lawyers and judgments, it seemed that single when we above have the problem, the demand, the order of execution or the certificate of notification, we resorted without but remedy to the lawyer, even often, without knowing no confidence and having to ask well-known… That is to say, if we needed to operate tomorrow, we will know surely where, with whom, and in which center, according to our social work (because in addition, we know that we can become ill and for that reason the prepayments and their anticipated hiring exist) Nevertheless does not happen this with our profession.

The lawyer is not visited frequently by the client, culturally for “knowing it”, we don´t looked for one either if we do not have legal problems, even at the time of signing any document. The mayority prefer “to save” and to buy or to lend the format model of the contract (of lease, by example.) in the bookstore or with a friend, and to the moment that the contract is not fulfilled, (in fact, the contract formalize in the case that is not fulfilled) so in that momment, they come to visit us, and what they don´t know that what they had to defend or ague itself? Is the contract. “The contract is law between the parts”.

Amount of clients comes to the office with a problem that happens of badly previous advising, of a contract badly written, with clauses that perjudices or abuses them interests. Another example is those that seem not to realize that the real estate or the constructing development company makes contracts “with a common form”, or sometimes more in favor of whom it gave the property to rent and not of the renter, in addition to not being lawyers or notaries. Not anyone can´t make a contract. Then, that renter, before signing it, will have to make see it with “HIS” lawyer so that at the time of having a problem to future, if he has it, he counts on the best arms for his defense, and not worse them. In order to buy, to sell, to rent, to contract, to leave fastener, to remove a credit, to certify my company for, etc., etc.

And that for all matters. If the idea is to form and create a company with friends or family, for a commercial success, in spite of having the best relation, and before the eventuality of which the money brings problems, to formalize it with a contract is the best thing. Then, the lawyer is the best ally to perform the project.

The consult will be cheap in relation of the matter, of the trial, the facts, or a future prosecution. Preventive law can avoid and correct this conflicts, in time.

In Aragón & Aragón, WE TRY TO CONCILIATE, NEGOCITAR, TO SOLVE, TO RESTITUTE the THINGS TO THEIR PREVIOUS STATE, but everything is easier, if we met and know the facts, and prevent the results

Also it is good to know that if charge a debt, or pay part off, the counterpart will make us also to sign something, adding interests, etc., and sometimes, to charge or to pay fast do not read and causes perjudices.

Therefore it is not logical and recommendable that the lawyer who advice your or the company that pays your salary, advice your personal matters .

The lawyer would not have to begin to take part in trial, with a good previous advising, and if this he is conciliador and negociator, the trial would not have to be arrived.

In our case, we are not propulsive to initiate trials, in fact, if it can, we tried them to avoid. In this country, they are long, public, expensive and the trials are way to formalist. In Aragón & Aragón any matter is meanable, negotiable and conciliable, without this implies to accept any treatment, another popular belief!

In conclution, our advice: before signing any document or take any desition in a business, its opportune to take it to the lawyer so that he reviews and give you the comments or the approval, and always have a trust and confident lawyer, in Aragón & Aragón we can be your ally, contact us.
