Small Claims Court Lawyer/Attorney in Miami Florida, Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach

Small Claims and Corporate Lawsuits are my bread and butter, because it takes "GUTS" and perseverance to be able to take on people or corporations that want to use their inadequate behavior to burglarize others. I understand that there is always another side to the story, but my job as a professional is to determine if the other side is telling the truth. I make sure that my clients understand that in order to fully present a case in front of a judge, they have to have some type of proof i.e.: receipts,contracts,sign documentation, promissory notes etc., to be a able to have a chance in having a fair trial.I fully support the judicial system in Florida, and I'm 100% confident that the truth always prevails. Make sure to research all credentials of any attorney you want to retain for the areas of Small Claims, Immigration, Lawsuits or Family Law. It takes many years of experience before a lawyer can truly represent anyone and most times, is worth to call more than one attorney before making a final decision. My law office is located in Pompano Beach, Fl and I cover the areas of Miami-Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach. Also, I represent many clients outside of Florida in any Small Claims, Lawsuits or Immigration cases. Call my office at 954-785-9280 or send me any question through my website at mydacunhalaw.com

Family Law Attorney in Fort Lauderdale florida that speaks English, Portugues and Spanish

There are thousands of attorneys that practice Family Law in the United States, and it can be really hard to narrow down a decision on who to retain. My advise to any client looking for a good Family Attorney is to hire someone that is close to your area i.e. ( no more than 20 miles), because if something important comes up you will have no problems getting to their office. Also, make sure you are sure that this particular attorney you have decided to hire has the experience he/she is claiming they have. A lot of times new attorneys start working for firms that have been around for ever, but that does not give your attorney a " TON " of experience. " BE CAREFULL" out there, everyone loves to claim victory before starting the fight, and follow your instincts.. If you need good Attorney that does not claim 100 years of experience and is honest, hard working, familiar with the practice, has almost 10 years of true experience, has her own LAW FIRM, and will fight for you: call THE LAW OFFICE of MELISSA DACUNHA at 954-785-9280 or send me any questions you have through my website at  mydacunhalaw.com

Stop getting RIPPED-OFF and hire an attorney to fight for you in any small claims matter in Florida.

I understand that the word getting RIPPED-OFF is a little strong coming out of an attorneys vocabulary, but I'm only saying the truth. If you ever trusted a person/company with your money and they deceived you, I know you understand why I say it in those terms. After working with clients for almost 10 years and hearing all the horror stories they go through, I have become territorial over all my clients. I cannot understand how companies intend to continue to stay competitive in this economy by lying to customers and not providing solutions to their problems. I encourage anyone getting RIPPED-Off to call me before they decide to drop it. I will give you a chance to get an answer to why they are doing what they are doing to you, or even better make sure they return your money or possessions back in a legal way.

Family Law and Divorce cases in Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami Florida

Make sure lawyers issue a retainer contract before you decide to pay for any services. Being clear of what the job is in full can avoid any confrontations or possible problems with the attorney representing you. Most times, lawyers will tell you what you as a client want to hear until the first payment is cleared. Unfortunately, this practice has put other practicing attorneys in a terrible position because clients come in the office with their fist up trying to protect themselves.

Small Claims and the necessary steps to take before filling a claim( Fort Lauderdale, Miami and West palm beach areas).

There are several important to steps to take before attempting to play lawyer. 

1). Do not play lawyer, unless you are one.

2). Filling a Small Claims Suit is difficult and requires many years of experience. Yes, the process to actually     driving to court and writing whats on your mind is easy, but actually making a legal argument and using legal terms is not. Many of my clients have filled a Small Claims Suit before finally retaining my services. Unfortunately, they have spent hundreds of dollars and many hours of work in vain.

3).Speak to an attorney before making legal decisions on any matter, specially when filling a lawsuit.

4). Stop making threatening phone calls to the person or company you intend to sue, but instead leave it the the professionals to handle the case in court.

5). Call my Law office at 954-785-9280 for a consultation or send me any questions you have through my website at mydacunhalaw.com

Many believe that the divorce process is something that has a low priority in their lives because of the high attorney fees. Instead they are choosing to live in the same household with the person they use to love. Unfortunately, they do not realize that the ones hurting the most are the offspring because they are confused and their self esteem ruined after they have to see their parents sleep in different quarters or even worst fight constantly. Do not hurt those that don't deserve it, divorces are between $ 1,500 for non contested divorces and for contested divorces fees star at $2,500 dollars. These fees are nothing compared to the amount of  pain and damage you are causing your children for allowing yourself to think that is better to wait.

Immigration in Miami Florida ( Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach)

Yes; there are many Immigrants all over Florida that are committing crimes and getting away with it but the majority of them are hard working people like you and I. Coming from an Immigrant family, I can attest to the struggles that all Immigrants go through. Although my father was a Neurosurgeon In Brazil, my place of birth, I can still remember how hard he had to work to be able to continue his profession. And like him, there are millions of other educated Immigrants that are not as fortunate as him. Most, have to endure long working hours with little or sometimes no pay. I have the opportunity to be able to utilize my the great education I received and perhaps contribute to this never ending battle. The United States is the greatest country in the world, because it allows and gives Immigrants an opportunity to better themselves and their loved ones. Of course, coming into this country without proper documentation is a crime and I'm not an advocate of that. I believe that if you follow the Immigration procedures correctly, you  will have a prosperous life in the United States.

Family Law Attorney In Pompano Beach ( Divorce)

Consider an attorney that is not only compassionate,  but also knowledgeable in all areas of Family Law. One may think that Family attorneys only deal with divorce cases, but its a lot deeper and more complicated than that. With divorce comes a lot issues that will arise once the process begins. Most of the time the hardest aspect of a divorce is not child custody, but child support. In many instances, the husband or wife will hire an attorney if they want to protect themselves from paying to much of it. Do not allow yourself to get intimidated from letters and calls made by the opposing counsel, instead protect yourself as well and hire an attorney that has the best interest for you and your loved ones.

Divorce and the strong relationship to unemployment in Broward, Miami-Dade and West Palm Beach Florida.

As we all know, unemployment is not only negatively affecting families with the ability to pay there mortgage, car payments, credit cards and all the other responsibilities that families have on a day-by-day basis. Although most of us think that the percentage of divorce rates are going up because of the recent unstable financial situation the country is going through, its not correct. "We don’t know for sure, but the researchers speculate that unemployed people may delay or postpone divorce due to the high costs associated with it. Not only is divorce expensive in terms of legal fees, but afterward, partners need to pay for two houses instead of one. And if they are still living off of one salary at that point, those costs may be prohibitively expensive. For this reason, it is not that uncommon to hear about estranged couples who can’t stand each other but are still living under the same roof "(http://www.scienceofrelationships.com/home/2011/8/8/is-the-unemployment-rate-tied-to-the-divorce-rate.html).
Don't be one of the couples living together just because you think you cannot afford an attorney. My rates are competitive, and I have payments plans available for those in similar situations. Kids are the ones that suffer the most in these situations because parents continue to fight, argue and probably sleep in different quarters which is devastating for the children.

Small Claims has become a common trend among customers in Miami-Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach.

    More and more companies are engaging in scrupulous behavior in order to stay open. Yes, the current economic times are terrible but it does not give companies the green light to start using other techniques in order to stay afloat. What ever happen to customer service? or the phrase "The Customer is Always Right", perhaps some people believe that utilizing this approach is the only way they can manage to stay open. My advice to clients that call my Law Office is to file the lawsuit right away, and to not let this companies get away with this behavior.

Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals" Dream Act" with President Obama

Applications for the "Dream Act" USCIS expects to make all forms, instructions, and additional information relevant to the deferred action for childhood arrivals process available on August 15, 2012. USCIS will then immediately begin accepting requests for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals.

Information shared during today’s call includes the following highlights:

• Requestors – those in removal proceedings, those with final orders, and those who have never been in removal proceedings – will be able to affirmatively request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals with USCIS.
• Requestors will use a form developed for this specific purpose.
• Requestors will mail their deferred action request together with an application for an employment authorization document and all applicable fees to the USCIS lockbox.
• All requestors must provide biometrics and undergo background checks.
• Fee waivers cannot be requested for the application for employment authorization and biometric collection. However, fee exemptions will be available in limited circumstances.
• The four USCIS Service Centers will review requests.

My firm will be at the fore front of this new application process for undocumented youth, and will work with families in need in order to give them a better chance in the selection process.

What is Deferred Action?

Deferred Action is a decision by the executive branch to postpone the deportation of a foreign national as an act of prosecutorial discretion. The DHS has the authority to grant Deferred Action to any noncitizen at any stage of the deportation process.

 

While any foreign national can apply for Deferred Action, in the case of DREAMERs President Obama has decided it makes more sense to focus limited law enforcement resources on the arrest and deportation of dangerous criminals, national security risks and egregious immigration violators.

 

 

To be eligible a person must:

• Have come to the U.S. under the age of 16;

• Have continuously resided in the U.S. for at least 5 years before June 15, 2012 and have been present in the U.S. on June 15;
