Costa Rica's Judicial System - A Great Disappointment

After being here for 4 years, the one great disappointment that I have had is from what my experiences have been with the judicial system that exists here. Because this site is seen all over the world, it would be difficult to give you specifics without getting into trouble with the government. All that I can tell you is to be very careful in who you are dealing with and do some research on the subject before you move here. However, the one thing I can tell you is that you will need to learn to be very patient because the system is very slow and a case may take as long as 5 years to settle, and forget about anything getting accomplished around Christmas time.
