Extremely Unprofessional Experience

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for your rights, this is not the right professional. In my case, he was disorganized, careless, and completely unprepared to handle the seriousness of the situation. Instead of guiding me and defending my interests, he ended up harming my case due... to his lack of professionalism. He also failed to provide important evidence that was his responsibility, which directly impacted the progress of my case. If you’re willing to risk your case and your peace of mind, go ahead and hire him. But if you want seriousness, competence, and respect, look for a real attorney.

Communicates like a 12 year old

I don't even know where to begin with this "piece of work" who is the most incompetent attorney I have ever experienced! I will start out by saying that I trusted this guy because I called Lagana & Associates in Lawrence Ma. and they put Jorge Moura on the phone. I will start out by saying, this guy ...got me good! In fact, so good, I thought I was on "Candid Camera!" Absolutely worst communication I have ever experienced with any attorney which ultimately cost me a lot of money in travel expenses because of what he advised me to do! Then, weeks went by of ignored emails and phone messages, while the clock was ticking with a sensitive matter concerning my Mom and elder services. Finally after calling the Lagana & Associates office (this is the only number I have for him), I informed them that I need him to call me TODAY. It was less than 20 minutes after that call that I finally received an email from him saying that he has decided not to represent me. I was like, "are you kidding me, am I being punked?" This was especially concerning to me because right after he got my permission to represent me, he used that to gather private information from an ongoing investigation, and THEN ignored me for 2 weeks! Anyway, needless to say, my complaints will not stop here. I am 56 years old and have used many lawyers throughout my life and have not always been happy with their services but let me tell you, "this guy takes the cake!!!" I am completely baffled that he is even a real attorney!

Excellent attorney

This attorney has helped me twice. The fist time was when I was rear ended; he helped me get my vehicle repaired, helped me get medical and physical therapy for my injuries and a nice settlement. The second time it was for a domestic issue, his advice and counsel kept me from losing my Mind. Durin...g our consultations his professionalism and intelligence gave me the confidence to trust him with my legal needs. Th fact he spoke Portuguese made the process easier to understand. I will always use his services.

Very Unprofessional and Unexperienced

Please do not hire this attorney. He appeared to have a great sales pitch and promised to help would me with my court case involving a DUI. After I hired him and paid his retainer fees, he has missed court dates, been very unprofessional with not returned any phone calls or messages in a timely man...ner. After so much frustration and aggravation, I decided to seek another attorney with more experience. I am still waiting to receive monies that this attorney owes me from the remaining retainer fees.

Auto Accident

On December 2015, my family and I were involved in a rear-end collision propelling us almost 100yds; the vehicle was totaled. As you can imagine we all sustained injuries, with my husband being the worse off. When we spoke to Attorney Jorge Moura he explained our options and what our rights were. We ...were very impressed with how he handled our auto accident case. Responsive to our questions and returned our calls the same day, very professional. He negotiated a settlement that FAR EXCEEDED what me and my husband thought we would ever get. Attorney Moura has earned my business, I give him 5 Stars. I will definitely return to Attorney Moura if we ever need an attorney again.
