Are You A Citizen?

[La Fleur]

The "one simple thing" you wanted Dr. Rubilar's "opinion on" might be very unwise (if not unethical) for him to express in writing, even here....

Exactly! And wouldn't it be nice if all contributors engaged their brains before engaging their keyboards. This is not a private space, and many things that are written here are best not written about in detail in public. (And, in my opinion, some would be better not said at all, but that is the price of freedom of speech, I suppose.)

The ethic's law forbidds me to give opinions about other lawyers like judges or secretaries.
Also, as an opinion, this is personal and it is about my story with this judge or Secretary. They usually behave different with common people or other lawyers.

The ethic's law also forbidds me to advice a person who already has a lawyer.
I suggest you ask to your lawyer.

What a rude person you are Big Al!

Dr Rubilar has contributed - free of charge - an enormous amount if time, energy and specialist information to the topic of getting citizenship (and others) on BAExpats. And he has been doing it for many years. Since long before you joined the site (last year). It is most certainly not "all about money" to him although - as a professional - he is certainly entitled to charge for giving professional advice to individuals.

Yes, this site is for sharing information, and supporting other expats. But it is sometimes hard to want to do it with smart mouths making comments like these.

Piss off (if youre gonna call me rude, might as well earn the title) you sound like an infomercial.

This actually makes sense.

Yes it does make sense I wont argue that, but hiring him changes that ethics law? Besides, I wasnt trying to get him to bash the bad judges, I dont see anything wrong with saying a certain judge is easy going or tough.

Some judges are easier or tougher depending on what they think of you. I spoke with someone recently who went to the citizenship process... the day of her hearing with the judge/secretary/clerk whoever it was, her lawyer warned her that the lady was rude/tough on people and they went in and she was super sweet and friendly. Maybe because the person applying for citizenship was older/retired. But how can you know before you go....

It doesn't change the ethics law but, instead, it is according to it because a) a lawyer can advice his clients B.) but cannot advice some other lawyer's client c) how is a judge is part of this advice. So, ask your lawyer.

Big Al,
Every lawyer accountable to his governing professional body in his country or jurisdiction is under a duty to conduct himself as Bajo_Cero has just done here - in accordance with its set of comprehensive ethics' standards. This has been obligatory since at least the 1870s -eg. in England - when the practice of law began to be regulated.

Lawyers can if they wish provide non-clients just information ABOUT the law but never legal advice. Wherever you were in any democratic country with a legal justice system, they'd all tell you in your circumstances what Bajo_Cero has.

Expats are very fortunate to have an Argentine lawyer on a public Argentine forum. Most readers here appreciate his giving us relevant legal information. He thus helps many people although he certainly does not have to. Thank you very much for doing this here, Bajo_Cero.

Dude, do you read your own comments before posting? Who the hell asked for legal advice from bajo zero? all I wanted to know was weather the judges I mentioned were ok or tough, but then this whole thing got twisted into "free information" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Some of you people in this forum are so naive its unbelievable, you read a couple of posts about a lawyer giving advice and a couple of success stories and you run and pay 5-6 thousand dollars when the other 99% of the people in this country pay the same amount in pesos...

With all due respect BigAl, what exactly do you think a lawyer is paid for in these circumstances? He/she is paid for their expert knowledge of all aspects involving the process of applying for and experience in obtaining citizenship for his/her clients. In addition, by hiring a lawyer in this circumstance you are able to avoid all the pain in the ass running around that the process entails, which is a waste of time and more importantly money for those whose time=money.
