Our Reviews
Word on the Street
“I met Ricardo Velez Benedetti over three years ago when he acted for me in the sale of property in Cartagena. It was a fortuitous meeting because I am pleased to say Ricardo has continued to represent me on a number of other dealings and his approach to both legal and business advice has been consistently solid and balanced by his approach and solid understanding on how the legal system and business works in Colombia. Another advantage is the opportunity to discuss broader issues with Ricardo given his experience having lived overseas for some time he adds a broader position than others in his capacity and can do so in English which removes the impediment of lengthy translation services. I look forward to continuing to work with Ricardo and his family law firm and will have no hesitation recommending his experienced approach to others”

"We retained Velez-Benedetti to purchase a vacation condominium in Cartagena. We are from the US and had no experience with purchasing a property in Colombia. We were impressed by his professionalism in handling our negotiation, sale, and transfer of title. We could not have been more pleased with the level of service he provided and would recommend his practice to anyone seeking informed, efficient and responsive representation in his areas of practice. They handled all pieces in the purchase and his level of communication throughout was outstanding. His firm also handled the escrow of the funds for the sale, which gave us peace of mind. His advice was practical and results-focused, and we are pleased with the results. We expect a high level of service from our lawyer. We are happy to say that Velez-Benedetti consistently exceeded those expectations.

These guys did an excellent job helping us buy our condo in Cartagena. They made the process easy, their English is excellent, and you will feel in good hands. I am a lawyer in Philadelphia with 30 years of experience; they are good!

I have been working with this law firm for over 9 years now. They have been an incredible source of knowledge and their professionalism is unquestionable.We refer them to all our clients for their real estate transactions. The fact that they are perfectly bi-lingual reassures new investors to properly understand all the legal necessary steps to acquire a real estate property… for all their business dealings and company formation… and so much more.
Highly recommended
MIKE, CHICAGO
I have had many attorneys in the states, but when purchasing property in Cartagena, I looked for an experienced, local attorney who was also bilingual. I called a couple of firms, and decided to go with Velez-Benedetti. I met with Ernesto initially to understand the process, and how he would guide me through the purchase. It took 6 or 7 months to decide on the house, and Ernesto helped me along the way. When I finally found the house, Ernesto took the reins and made the process go smoothly. A fantastic job! Later, Velez-Benedetti helped me with other legal work. I'm very happy I decided to go with them.
