Law (general)
Attorney\'s signature
Appears before the attorney's signature, in a letter from an attorney to an opponent.
It either means that the attorney is signing under a limited power of attorney (firmado en virtud de un derecho limitado), or (very unlikely) that someone else is signing for the attorney, by the attorneys' authorization.
Basically, I am stumped.

Signed: Counsel for the Defense
As suggested in the discussion area, since we know that this is in fact the defendants' attorney.
It is worth noting that Taña's suggestion that it could mean "Letrado Doña" is not impossible, even though it says "Ltdo." rather than "Ltda." In Spain, at least, "la letrado" is sometimes found, even though the feminine form exists ("la letrada"). Of course, if the attorney in question is known to be male, that would rule out this suggestion. In any case, I feel it's a little unlikely, because if "Doña" were included you would expect the whole name to be printed after it.

Sorry; I see Taña has removed her suggestion.

: Agree. Boy, your eyes are sharp (yes, I did have "Doña", then realized it could not be, as it is Letrado - wrong, wrong)! (Da. for Defensa didn't even occur to me!). LOL!

Thanks, Taña! My immediate reaction was that Letrado ruled out Doña, but then I checked and found cases of letrado for women, so it wasn't out of the question. Un abrazo :)

2. I do not have enough information to know whether the signature is a substitute signature.
