When I was suddenly in need of legal representation I gathered a short list of attorney's based on a reliable and trustworthy friend who was also an attorney in another field. As soon as I called Attorney Luiz's office I was greeted with sincerity. It turns out the particulars of my case were perfect for Attorney Luiz who is well-versed in civil rights law. Once I understood just how violated my civil rights were in my workplace Mr. Luiz showed the utmost compassion and understanding. Furthermore, he was available whenever I had questions and concerns. During each step of my case Mr. Luiz had honesty and integrity. He was also willing to talk about ALL possible outcomes of my case. His firm was with me every step of the way and showed a commitment to seeing my case until the end.

Shawn took my case when no other attorney would. Mine was not an easy case: it did require an attorney who is capable and motivated. I hoped Shawn met these criteria. It soon became apparent, though, that Shawn fell far short. My complicated case required the filing of a First Amended Complaint. I tried in vain to motivate Shawn to meet this deadline whist Shawn stalled and made excuses. In exasperation, I literally wrote the First Amended Complaint myself, which I was finally able to file in time. Yet Shawn charged me for doing my own work. I could see where this was headed. I subsequently challenged Shawn to accept a contingency fee, as I was no longer comfortable paying by the hour. He agreed. But once I filed the First Amended Complaint, Shawn reneged. I realized that this attorney-client relationship wasn’t long for this world. I was forced to become my own attorney after Shawn withdrew from my case. Ironically, I managed to do better without Shawn. NOT recommended.
