I had a great experience working with Ricardo and Juan at DENFAB. From the very beginning, they were professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole immigration process much simpler than I expected.They were always happy to answer my questions, explain everything clearly, and accommodate me along the way. I really appreciated how straightforward they made the entire process.I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for immigration lawyers in Panama, you’ll be in excellent hands with Ricardo and Juan. Thanks again to both of you for all your help!

Wow ... 1 highly refferred Atty never responded to an Aug 2024 email or Jan 2025 WhatsApp chat for details of costs for VISAs, etc. My research brought me to Atty Ricardo Faraudo & the Denfab Law team. Within 24 hrs, I got detailed costs breakouts via email; WhatsApp access; option to discuss costs estimates via Zoom or WhatsApp; and, several follow-up emails and chats re: medical concerns, etc. --- all without spending a dime. His cost estimates were good for 30 days; broken down into 25% and 75% increments, based on when work was done for our VISAs, Cedulas, etc. They even included the applicable 7% tax on certain items -- most usually never give these specifics. Having what we needed, we accepted the estimate in 2 weeks vs 30 days & paid our 25% to start work. After emailing Ricardo about a possible medical and documentation travel delays ... Ricardo emailed and clearly stated " ... take care of what is necessary, you have given us enough to get started on what we need for the first phase ... we'll be here when YOU are ready, be it weeks, months or a year." Juggling another challenge, we had to move up our planned visit ... even with Ricardo being on planned leave, he coordinated document drop offs with team members; ensured we knew which documents to FedEx for local authentication and prep for Immigration drop off and review. On arrival 5 days later, we met Ricardo and key team members at the office ... from there, we saw what concierge support is all about ... driver picked us up from our hotel to immigration and back; another team member was at immigration early to drop a document and pull our ticket; and, another team member was there to ensure we understood what was happening, including language barrier, right lines, and speaking with the officials as needed. Yes ... all of this may appear over kill but we did not need extra fixers, Attorney Ricardo and his legal team ensured we could enjoy this process versus being stressed -- even though the Panama City Immigration Office is a well oiled machine. Reminds me of a DMV on steroids, but much more efficient. So, thanks Ricardo and ALL members of your team. Thanks also for your recommendations re my eye. We look forward to your email telling us our Permanent documents are ready. Excited about a long-term relationship. N & JUNE 2025: We got the WA and email about our Permanent Residency Cards ... picked them up in June 2025. Due to health challenges, relocation and overseas travels ... we had to delay our Cedula appointment request in Oct 2025 and Aug 2026. Each time Ricardo helped us to relax and remember we have paid for the items ... he will help us get them when things settled down for us. Take care of self first. SEPT 2026: We reached out to Ricardo and scheduled our Cedula trip within a 10-day notice [due to upcoming challenges]. We arrived Sep 27. SEPT 28 2026: Nelson picked us up from our hotel around 0840. Uziel was waiting for us inside the Tribunal Compound ... our roles were simple ... bring the Passport and Permanent Residency Card and follow the "team's prompts." We took our Cedula photos and Nelson had us back to the hotel by 1045. Ricardo also reminded me ... not to follow or trust what we read on the internet ... As our Attorney, we must let him do the hard work. NEXT STEP: Cedula Pick Up. Just as with our Permanent Residency .. Ricardo and his team have a well-oiled Concierge process which delivers results. FUTURE: We have our Attorney, a trusted Law Firm for everything Panama. Most importantly, the entire team delivers on the firm's promise -- no nickel and diming, no price changes, no gotchas ... I did my happy dance yesterday at a 24-7 store shortly after arriving in Panama ... I can't wait to start singing the National Anthem. Ricardo and the DenFab Law team ... thanks for helping me realize a 15-year dream ...

DENFAB handled my mother's Pensionado visa application in Panama. For an older parent going through a foreign immigration process on her own, that level of care meant a great deal to our family. I couldn't be in Panama with my mother, so the DENFAB team arranged for a driver to take her to and from the appointments, even pick-up from the airport. She was very well taken care of throughout her stay and came away most impressed with the whole experience. Thank you to Ricardo and the team. I'd recommend them to anyone arranging Panamanian residency and the Pensionado program.LikeShare Ingrid Lazcano5 reviews2 months agoFantastic firm with exceptional service.

My wife and I are relocating to Panama. We heard about DENFAB ON A YouTube. Video. We engaged their services and could not be more pleased. They are professional, efficient, and responsive to questions and concerns. They are walking us through every step of the process. DENFAB IS well worth the cost for their services. They take a complicated process and make clear the appropriate steps and documents needed. They walked us through immigration and we were in and out in less than an hour. I highly recommend DENFAB and their excellent services if you are thinking of moving to Panama.

I had a fantastic experience working with DENFAB law firm in Panama City. One of their lawyers, Ms. Ana Marquez, provided superb support throughout the entire process of both establishing a Panamanian SRL and purchasing a condo. Her masterful legal knowledge was truly impressive, especially in how she guided us past several roadblocks. Additionally, all the necessary Spanish/English translations were handled seamlessly, which made the entire experience stress-free. If you are looking for a firm that is reliable and deeply expert in Panamanian law, I would certainly recommend DENFAB to any prospective clients!

We cannot recommend DENFAB Law enough! Our experience towards securing Panamanian Pensionado visas was absolutely flawless, earning them a well-deserved 5 stars. Ricardo Faraudo, our lawyer, was truly outstanding. His expertise and guidance made a seemingly complex process incredibly smooth. What was most impressive was how quickly everything was handled—Ricardo and the team at DENFAB worked with amazing efficiency, securing our temporary Residents cards within 4 business days! If you are considering moving to Panama and need legal assistance, look no further. DENFAB Law exceeds all expectations!

I am a Canadian ex-pat. I have been a client of Denfab Law in Panama for the past 5 years. Initially they administered my residency and tax needs. They definitely knew what they were doing. I am very impressed with the professionalism and care and the speed at which their diverse team work closely together executing various in-country and international transactions. Importantly they are proactive, accessible and responsive. This combination is difficult to find with any law firm - especially in Latin America! Thank you Ricardo Faroudo for your kind attention and a seamless experience on this latest deal!

My wife and I had the pleasure of engaging the DENFAB law firm for several activities in Panama City. We had interacted with many other law firms prior to making our decision but the quick response time to all of our questions (and they were many) and the knowledge base regarding all the matters were the determining factors for us. Indeed, the team is a “dream team of sorts” delivering on every issue in a timely and professional manner. We received our temporary resident visa approval in lightening speed; purchased and closed on our property; using a newly incorporated foundation (based on their counsel) all within a space of three months. While we found cheaper quotes than DENFAB, we didn’t find anyone that matched their expertise. I strongly recommend DENFAB for all legal representation in Panama unhesitatingly.

Our experience with Denfab Law group  and particularly  Ricardo in assistingus with obtaining our Panamanian Retiree Permanent  Residency was incredibly efficient, professional and prompt. He introduced us to the Apostille Process (from Canada).  Then met with us in Panama City at his offices to explain the next steps.  His very efficient and very responsive. His Staff personally accompanied  us through the Immigration Offices  quite seamlessly.  The entire process was stress free. We definitely would recommend Denfab Law to any Canadian wanting Permanent Residency in Panama.   And since they are a fully integrated law office, we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Outstanding law firm. I've dealt with several law firms both personally and for my business and hands down my greatest experience was with Denfab. From start to finish they were extremely proactive with handling my file. Ricardo and his team had impeccable communication with me. They helped me with my residency application in Panama and despite submitting my application under an extremely tight timeline, they managed to pull it off in an incredibly smooth, professional and seamless way. We had encountered some issues with my application caused by delays on the government's side in sending over documents, but despite the issues we faced, Denfab's team managed to find a solution for every challenge we encountered and had my application submitted on time. Every other law firm I spoke to told me I wouldn't be able to submit it before the August 7th deadline, yet Denfab pulled it off. Incredibly pleased with their service, I highly recommend them.
