Cynthia Fernández's boyfriend is at risk of losing his law license. In this case, the risk is to make a good or bad impression in court when you are not well-represented, when it's not a lawyer handling your case.
On the other hand, the media personality celebrated the high number of people who contacted her for her new project: "Wow." Cynthia Fernández is once again making headlines after a video of her promoting legal advisory services from herself and "her team of lawyers" on her Instagram account went viral.
In the video, the media personality speaks to the camera and says: "If you had a car accident or any accident, don't get pissed off, don't get bitter, because from this bad experience you can recover what you lost and I assure you, much more. Thank you for supporting me on this new path," she wrote in an Instagram story.
"Do you know how this is going to end? Because the Bar Association actively prohibits you from promoting yourself or using third parties to attract clients when you have a license and are a lawyer, like Castillo, her partner," explained the lawyer.
"He is engaging in misleading advertising that is prohibited to him. And the photo is of her with her boyfriend. Taking your traffic accident to my team of lawyers can earn you a lot more money than with any insurance company."
On Tuesday, in the show "Sálvese quien pueda", Yanina Latorre touched on the topic and questioned the "legality" behind the promotion of the future lawyer, as she does not yet have the license needed to practice law.
"I consulted with a lawyer and he told me that what she is doing is the illegal practice of law," the host recounted.
"Her boyfriend (Roberto Castillo) is leading her down the worst path," she opined.
To inquire about the situation, they contacted lawyer Valeria Carredas, who did not hide her indignation at Fernández's post: "I am surprised, I am outraged. The most serious thing is what Yanina said, there is an illegal practice of the profession here," she added.
Furthermore, she revealed that two people had contacted her to report the influencer's practices: "The code penalizes anyone who poses as a professional they are not, because for a doctor the risk is life or death. This is the number of inquiries we are receiving on our WhatsApp to represent them in traffic accidents. Why? "When you enter that phone, it says: 'Company info, traffic accidents.'
