Is it permissible for a Panama attorney to represent both spouses in a divorce with conflicting interests?

Dear Client,

Thank you for reaching out. In your specific situation, because there is a clear conflict of interests between you and your spouse, the attorney who currently represents both parties cannot continue representing you under Panamanian ethical and professional rules. In cases of conflicting interests, each spouse must be assisted by an independent lawyer to guarantee impartiality and proper legal protection.

I am able to represent you in this matter. I will be glad to schedule a consultation to review your case in detail and prepare a personalized fee estimate based on the services required.

To proceed, please provide me with the following information:

1. Your full legal name

2. Your nationality

3. Your current immigration status in the Republic of Panama

4. The city in Panama where you currently reside

5. Your WhatsApp number for messages

6. Your email address

Once I receive this information, I will coordinate your appointment and begin the review of your case.

I remain at your service.

Sincerely,

Lic. Cristo Markou Castillo

Attorney-at-Law – Panama
