The Lions’ Den is a law firm and ministry of Jesus Christ that is based in Miami and serves Florida in Business Litigation and Immigration and New York with Immigration. We excel in state and federal trial litigation, state and federal appeals and we will petition the United States Supreme Court or the Florida Supreme Court if the opportunity arises. We have had many fraud and breach of contract claims. We excel in mediation, depositions, discovery and arbitration.
We have a wealth of experience litigating against some of the most wealthy and powerful individuals and companies in the world and we have represented some of the most powerful companies and individuals in the world. We have had cases against Tesla, Universal Music Group, Miami Dade County, JP Morgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank and DaBaby. We have represented the Colombian Air Force, grammy award winning artists, professional boxers, NBA players, churches, talent agencies and universities.
Our greatest legal strength is in client and case strategy. Each case and situation is different and requires a unique, tactical approach that carefully considers all of the variables affecting legal consequences. We contribute all of our strength and resources towards success, including our time, experiences, energy and intelligence. We utilize judicial, civil and administrative procedures to advance Client’s interests. Excellent legal strategy and attorney performance will increase recovery judgments or settlements, reduce the time for a resolution, reduce liability and avoid costs.
With immigration, we focus on EB2 NIW cases and opportunities to receive a determination from USCIS in less than 45 days. We had a client that received an approval in three (3) days.
What drives our success is that we carry an extremely unique Jesus-inspired Kingdom of God mindset as a law firm. We serve all people with the most grace, love and respect that we are capable of. We pray each day and move by the power of the Holy Spirit and know and believe that our firm, clients and cases will be blessed when we obey God. We have seen incredible miracles, signs and wonders and move by faith and not by sight.
We have a team of brilliant, incredible people that will utilize their special gifts for you. Not all attorneys are equal. You need the best attorney because the cost of litigating, time, stress and other losses can be incredible.
Aside from our Kingdom approach, Jonathan May was a communications professor for eleven years. He studied communications for seven years and then taught at the university level with sixteen universities for eleven years, teaching public speaking, persuasion, debate, leadership, interpersonal communication, intrapersonal communication, mass communication and business communication. Applying communication knowledge and experiences directly impacts the firms ability to have success and, along with our Kingdom perspective, differentiates us from other firms and attorneys.
Our services require a substantial retainer in advance and are billed at our hourly rate. Our hourly rates tend to be at the top of the Florida market in price. We have a very limited client base. Our time with regards to taking on clients is limited so that we can service our current clients. If you or your company seeks to litigate a claim, you should have at least $100,000 in liquid funds prepared for your legal fees and an excellent credit rating. Cases with a value less than $250,000 likely won’t be worth the cost of litigating with our firm but we can review your opportunity for success via a prepaid consultation that starts at $300 for thirty minutes. If you would like to set up a prepaid consultation, please email with the basic details needed to assess and analyze your case.
