However we have represented clients in Federal courts all over the United States and Puerto Rico. Mr. Zapp is fluent in Spanish, born and reared in the Republic of Panama and attending Columbia College and Columbia Law School in New York City. Mr. Zapp also travels to Latin America where he counsels defendants awaiting extradition in Latin America.
We are committed to providing our clients with the best legal assistance possible.
