Pre-litigation win
What the client was facing.
Client's property manager in Cancún had been collecting rental income but transferring only a fraction. Our forensic audit of bank statements showed $62,000 USD in unremitted rental income over 18 months, plus undisclosed maintenance overcharges.
The strategy we deployed.
Drafted a formal carta de requerimiento citing specific Civil Code articles on agency and fiduciary duty, served by notario público at the manager's registered domicile, with a 15-day compliance window and explicit reference to criminal fraud exposure.
How it ended.
Manager paid the full $62,000 within 45 days of service. No litigation required. Manager also released our client from the management contract without penalty.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every matter turns on its own facts, contract, and jurisdiction.
Your situation deserves the same rigor.
Every case is different, but the methodology holds: strategic pressure, credible escalation, recovery.
