A Little About Me

Hello, everyone! For a long time I’ve wanted to create this blog to humanize and personalize the legal process a little more. Regardless of culture, nationality, or province, it’s essential to understand how the law works and, above all, how to respect it. Sadly, I believe that connection has been lost in legal practice today. That said, I want to be clear that I recognize there are excellent law firms in our country that practice with impeccable ethics, and I have deep respect and passion for this profession.

So you can understand my approach and what Libre Verdad strives to offer its clients, I think it helps to introduce myself more personally. I am Andrea Rojas Martínez, a proud Costa Rican with a great passion for our beautiful country. I grew up in central San José and studied at the Colegio Superior de Señoritas, an institution with a rich tradition and history that has always been respected in my family, a family of strong, intellectual women.

From an early age I always felt a little different. Although my family environment was somewhat turbulent, it was always rooted in values, principles, and a deep passion for education. At 16, I was fortunate to win a scholarship with the AFS cultural program, an experience that radically changed my perspective on many things. When I returned, I came back with a renewed passion for learning about and understanding different cultures, which coincided with the boom in tourism in Costa Rica.

I devoted myself to working, studying, and specializing in various areas of tourism, both nationally and internationally. For four years my husband and I traveled the world, working in diving, hospitality, and tours, which let us immerse ourselves in different cultures, from Mexico to Asia. Along the way I had the privilege of meeting people and learning to appreciate and value every culture, even when they differed considerably from my own beliefs and values. That period taught me to find the good in every person, place, and experience, and to seek personal and spiritual peace without falling into extremes.

Our return to Costa Rica coincided with the arrival of our son, Andrew, which once again changed the course of my life. While I always kept a deep respect for tourism, I discovered that my true passion no longer lay in that industry. I realized that everyone deserves to pursue what they are passionate about, and that is how I decided to change careers and study law. The transition was challenging in many ways, both financially and personally, but it was also full of beautiful moments, like the birth of my daughter, Arya.

With each semester of university, my love and passion for law grew. I discovered that my true calling was litigation, not so much to do battle in the courts, but to stand up for people and make sure our clients understand how the law works and applies in Costa Rica. At our firm, the truth is free, and it rests on dedication, transparency, and justice. I feel blessed to have a team that shares these values and is always ready to research and analyze each case thoroughly. Our goal is to give our clients dedication, communication, attention, and respect, always setting realistic expectations.

On this blog we will cover a variety of legal topics from our perspective, explaining procedures clearly and simply, and we will also share personal, artistic, and cultural notes, because we believe in keeping balance in every area of life. I hope this brief introduction to me and the principles that guide Libre Verdad Servicios Legales has given you a clear sense of who we are and how we work. If you allow us to represent you, I assure you that you will receive dedication, communication, attention, respect, and, above all, the truth. We look forward to walking alongside you on your legal journey and helping you reach the justice you deserve within the Costa Rican legal framework.
