A couple of questions

Hello.


Is there a way to verify if a person is a licensed attorney?


Can someone give me a ballpark figure for the cost of utilities for a two-bedroom apartment? I am especially curious about electricity and the internet.


Thanks in advance.

Licensed Attorney? Call Minister of Interior who licenses them. This does not prove honesty, competency, caring or reciprocal respect. As to cost of utilities: depends on square footage, usage, etc.

As for internet, will depend on area and for electricity it will depend on your usage.  However, here's mine: Electric has run from $20-60/month for two houses, one person in each (both with desktop computers, led lighting and full size refrigerators).  My 1gigabit fiber is ~$40/month but slower is cheaper.  Water is $3 for 15m³ a month (we - 2 adults - usually only use 10m per month).  Propane for stove/water heater is $2.50 per ~5 gal tank and we go through 1-2 per month.


So, my guess would be between $50-100/month for 2-3 people in a 2 bedroom apartment, but ymmv.


As for attorneys in Ecuador (abogados), the current website is:
