Joshua Lopes Monteiro

I hired josh for a stand your ground case..they were trying to give me up to 30 years for defending myself...i had been fighting it for 2 years.. i hired josh about the last 6 months of it. He put in the motion for a stand your ground hearing and it was approved. At the hearing he navigated the lyin...g victim and witnesses and countered the state and in the end i won....the verdict from the judge changed my life either way...thx to josh it was dismissed..very professional..thank you josh and ms idalis...ty sammis law firm..

I can’t say enough about Joshua and the Sammis Law Group. Going into a very unexpected legal situation, on a time crunch, I had no hopes of finding representation on such short notice, and a weekend at that. Answering staff promptly took my info and told me I would receive a call back. With ...it being the weekend and short notice, I anticipated waiting a day or two to hear back. Joshua called me within 5 minutes of my initial call, and spent the time to hear all the details. He was realistic on outcomes and options and walked me through every step of the process, going well out of his way in several unexpected situations to get the best outcome. The entire Sammis team were wonderful, compassionate, always prompt, and kept me up to speed through the entire process that lasted several months. Without the representation and knowledge Joshua provided, I am sure I would have seen very different results in my case. If I ever found myself in another legal situation, I know who my first call would be.

From the moment, Mr. Monteiro took my case, I knew I was going to be in good hands. He was thorough, understanding, and strategic. He was responsive to my calls, helped me understand the process, and gave me excellent advice and legal counsel. I had a very complex case, but in the end the jury sided ...me, and I owe it all to Mr. Monteiro. I could not have done it without him. I highly recommend Mr. Monteiro.

During the initial consultation, he was very communicative, and seemed reliant. After payment was made, contact almost came to an immediate halt. I called one time to inquire if information has been received, and I was met with a very snarky attitude. I then had an in person consultation where ever...y concern I brought up was mocked, belitted and doubted. When I asked to speak to another person in the firm (about something mildly related to my case) , I was questioned multiple times and pressured to give the reasons why. Very unprofessional and super uncomfortable having him represent myself in any setting.
