Roy Diaz

Words alone cannot express my heartfelt appreciation for Roy Diaz’s assistance in my recent arbitration. His composure and professionalism offered me a degree of comfort that I most desperately needed. I was facing the reality that I was terminated from my police department amidst a very complicated ...case. I attribute Roy’s knowledge of the law, his ability to compellingly and in an understandable way convey the facts to the arbitrator to show that my termination was anything but warranted. Roy ruthlessly and effectively applied case law, old and new, to shatter the city’s defenses. Without a capable lawyer a grievant does not stand a chance in our system of justice. I learned very quickly that if your boss does not like you, they will stop at nothing to get rid of you, including lying under oath. I would also like to add that I appreciate the fact that at no time did Roy give me any false sense of hope. Roy was straightforward and honest in his assessment of the case. His personal sense of reserve is to be congratulated. The manner in which Roy presented my case, the Peace Officer Bill of Rights violations, as well as the Constitutional Rights violations eased the stress which was at an all time high for me. Roy had the city and their witnesses on their heels, regardless of rank. I wouldn't have been able to feel this way if it was not for Roy’s legal acumen. Roy is a true blessing to have on your side. My case is still pending an arbitrator’s decision, but I wanted all to be aware of the quality work Roy puts forth each and every day.
