The Southron commissioned the following report to be prepared by the ONLY attorney he recommends, Dr. Mark Teuten of Teuten Abogados (http://www.teutenabogados.com/ebrochure/english/index.html).

The following was sent to me by a local attorney. I am not sure whether the information is correct of not. I am still in “watch and see” mode, but I hope he is correct. Unfortunately, much of what the press articles and blogs have been saying is more alarming than the reality. It has [...]
