LEGAL CONSULTATION
By videoconference or in person, in order to guide and clarify doubts related to the specific case of the client, based on the personalized and detailed analysis of the documents and situation presented, according to the legislation and jurisprudence.
MY VISION
I believe in the humanization and modernization of the Law and the jurist, and in preventive advocacy in order to avoid conflicts.
With a focus on advisory law, applied to the client's day-to-day and administrative solutions, I understand that the Law goes beyond the cold application of the Laws.
The lawyer must seek justice through the recognition of subjective rights based on the particularities of each client and the specific case.
The law firm - and the lawyer - of today must always seek empathy with its client and each situation presented, and never lose sight of the Truth of the Facts and the correct application of the Laws, so that justice prevails.
