If you want us to, we can give you a list of local lawyers. We cannot give you legal advice, but we can point you in the right direction to get advice. However, only you can decide whether or not to take legal action, we cannot make this decision for you. Remember that if you choose not to report the crime immediately but change your mind later, forensic and other evidence may be lost. Also, you must report the crime before returning to the UK if you want it to be investigated here in Bolivia.

If you decide to engage a lawyer you may be subject to their fees and charging methods. You will be responsible for these in their entirety. The Embassy cannot help with any lawyer and/or legal fees.
