This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent, empathetic and diligent lawyer...

I had a very difficult situation with an employer, which unfortunately went very south. It was a frustrating and very difficult time for me. My employer was not paying me, the work environment was beyond toxic and I was discriminated against. Everyone told me not to try to take this employer to court... because they were a large financial firm with representation and I would lose. Alex made the process as comfortable as humanly possible and got a settlement which was equal to the money my employer owed me, it was a long drawn out process but I couldn't have had a better attorney on my side. Hire him!

Outstanding Legal Service

When you need a Legal Counseling, it is because something bad is happening, so finding a lawyer to assist you as you desire is not an easy task. In this sense, I highlight Alex Cabeceiras as one of the best Legal Counsel I have met, who not only assisted me but also exceeded my expectations. As a... former executive of several large companies, I had the experience of working with many lawyers, among all those who assisted me, Alex Cabeceiras goes certainly to the top of my list of Best Lawyers to work with. I highly recommend Alex Cabeceiras and his law firm Derek Smith, outstanding legal service provided by them. You can't go wrong if you hire them.

I highly recommend this lawyer

While I was pregnant my job tried to demote me. When I contacted Mr.Cabeceiras he immediately took my case. He made me feel comfortable and was very concerned about my case. My lawyer was able to get my company to reverse their decision I less than a month and recover lost wages. He was very helpful ...and always was available for questions.

Alex gets the job done quickly

I retained the services of Alex and Company after I received a "low-ball" offer from my employer. I had a solid documented case of age discrimination and wrongful termination. I met with Alex and we had a great conversation. He then quickly corresponded with my employer and got them to agree to media...tion. A few days later I had an offer to settle my case for 9x more than the Company offered me. I would have given 5 star rating except I felt it was inappropriate that the law firm made me pay for the mediation process. This should have been funded by the law firm and not the claimant.
