Overview
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth Rice, Attorney at Law is a small law office, located in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, which we find most accessible to all the major courts of the metropolitan area: the Superior Courts of San Juan, Carolina, Bayamón, Caguas, and our Federal District Court. Nonetheless, we litigate in all courts and administrative forums of the Island, specializing in the defense of general liability suits including medical malpractice files. We have experience in all levels of litigation, from the administrative and extrajudicial forums to appeals to the Circuit Court of Appeals and our Supreme Court.

Our staff includes two attorneys: Elizabeth Rice, partner, and Anne Marie Galanes, associate, both fully bilingual and with over fifteen years experience in litigation. Our secretary, Yomari Batista, has a full paralegal training.

Though small, we have all the technological capabilities of a modern law office, such as high speed internet connection with availability of the same to all members of the staff, commercial copying and digital imaging. We are familiar with electronic file management required by some clients. Our billing is performed with Timeslips and integrated with ABA billing codes. We recognize the business world is more inclined to the usage of Windows XP and most of our computers run on such system, but we also have available Mac OS X which we enjoy using for graphic applications as needed.

Our experience has provided us with several skills worth mentioning. Medical malpractice litigation and continued education have given us with a good reading knowledge of medical records, essential for the evaluation of damages. It has also provided us with a good overview and personal contact with the best known experts of our jurisdiction, including medical experts and private investigators. We have also close contact with very responsible translators and stenographers.

We enjoy working closely with our clients in determining what their interests are in each file being handled. We do not hesitate to recommend and work to achieve a quick settlement if our appreciation is that it would be cost effective to handle the file such way. Nor do we hesitate in performing instructions to litigate a file to its ultimate consequences to uphold our client’s principles.

Most importantly, our rates are very reasonable and we pride in working hard to avoid criticism of our billing. Our work is charged as performed and expenses are forwarded as incurred.
