Buying or investing in property in Roatán is exciting, but it can also be risky without the right legal support. Many families still hold land without proper registration, and too often expats purchase property with invalid documents or promises that later collapse.
As a licensed attorney in Honduras, I focus on real estate and civil law in Roatán and the Bay Islands. My goal is simple: to give you clear guidance, strong contracts, and secure property rights so that your investment is protected.
About Me
My name is Kelvin S. Martínez Bonilla, an independent licensed attorney based in Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras. I am fluent in English and Spanish, serving both local families and international clients.
Although I work independently, I also collaborate with trusted colleagues in other fields when needed — criminal, family, or corporate law. Every case is managed under my direct supervision, ensuring professionalism and integrity at every step.
Why I Became a Lawyer
I didn’t choose law for a title or for status. I chose this path because I have seen too many people — both locals and expats — lose their rights and property to corruption, fraud, and a system that often feels stacked against them.
Expats arrive with dreams of owning land or a home, only to later discover that the titles are not valid. Locals face the same injustice, with people of influence twisting the law to silence them or take what belongs to them.
I could not sit on the sidelines. I became a lawyer to work differently — with honesty, transparency, and integrity. My mission is to protect people from losing what they’ve worked so hard for and to make justice accessible to everyone.
