Family Law

My experience with lawyer Alex V. was terrible. He was totally unprepared, didn't present the correct powerful evidence that we gave him. He wouldn't let me speak to rebuttal the other side arguments. Fairly said we wasted our time, money and lost against someone who didn't have a lawyer. The other s...ide made us look terrible and shameful even the Judge told him if he needed more time to prepare the case adequately. I think I would have done a better job without him. I will never recommend him no anyone.

They take an oath they don't live by

My husband was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana and we hired Richard Ruhl and Sean Lux. All of my husband's drug tests were negative including and most importantly the one they collected at the sheriff's office. Once those results were recieved as negative, Sean called and said, ..."I know we said we wouldn't take the discrimination case, but we would like to represent him." We signed all the paperwork and their 25% payment fee if they won. This all took place in 2023 and there is only 2 years from the date of arrest that you can file. We went to court on 01/04/2024 and my husband was found not guilty. We left there with Sean saying we will file the paperwork against the CCSO. I called for an update in July 2023 and was told the paperwork had been filed. When I called in August for an update, Richard spoke to me and said that Sean was running for Charlotte County Judge and they wouldn't file until after the election. Also, Richard said that the same cop was just caught in another lie and would help our case. They never filed until 11/07/2024 and Sean won the election and now we had to wait 6 months for the CCSO to respond. I spoke to Richard on 04/11/2025 and he said that he was not a civil rights attorney but would find one for us by 05/07/2025. I called today and Richard said he could find no one to take our case because "everyone loves the cops today." Both Richard and Sean are liars and just goes to show that an honest person is always taken advantage of. I would not send my worst enemy to these people.

Stay away from this guy

Save , only your money. He did nothing for us all the while claiming he was doing all this work, but never sent us any copies of work he claimed did. Coast me $3000.00 as he missed a 30 day time limit on motion. I had spoken to him many time to inform him to file this motion
