For more than 10 years, I have focused my practice on assisting clients with business litigation and bankruptcy litigation issues. In hyper-technical terms, that means I’ve witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly of just about every imaginable litigation issue a business might face – ownership and employee disputes, corporate dissolutions, fraud claims, fiduciary claims, contractual disputes, and bankruptcy contested matters and adversarial proceedings. I am primarily called upon by my clients to tackle complex disputes in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts throughout the USA.. While I am a litigator at heart (assuming lawyers have hearts – which, as far as I know, is not yet proven), business disputes are not always best resolved through the scorched earth litigation process. I’ve had the privilege of working with big (Fortune 100) companies, solo entrepreneurs, and just about everyone in-between. This may come as a surprise, but not too many of them are thrilled with the prospect of multi-year litigation that does nothing but eat away at their bottom line. For this reason, I am always committed to obtaining practical, creative, and efficient solutions for my clients in both litigation and well before litigation ever arises. Litigation is not always in my clients’ best interest, and I regularly counsel clients regarding strategies for the avoidance of litigation, risk management, and litigation cost reduction.. Prior to establishing DeSouza Law, I was a senior attorney with a leading Florida law firm (Becker & Poliakoff, PA) and, in a prior life, an attorney in Washington, DC with a top multinational firm (Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP). I’ve handled high stakes litigation with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, and I’ve had the honor of going toe-to-toe with some of the country’s brightest attorneys. My philosophy is a simple one – small firm attention, big firm expertise. My clients certainly deserve both. I am committed to providing practical, real-world advice to clients in a language they can understand (no ‘lawyer-ese’) and obtaining favorable results for them whenever possible.. I am also well-known in the South Florida legal community for areas such as litigation avoidance, e-discovery, and disputes involving discovery of electronically stored information. I frequently write on these subjects and speak at conferences and continuing legal education courses presented to clients, judges, in-house counsel, and practicing attorneys.

At a time when specialization is a defining quality of the legal profession, I am a throwback to an earlier era. Happy to call myself a “hybrid attorney”, I am both a litigator and a deal-maker. I can, with equal facility, try a case to its final verdict, or quarterback a complex negotiation to its final signature.Over the course of my career, I have become well versed in all phases of the litigation process in both state and federal courts, including at the appellate level. I focus my practice on commercial and complex civil litigation, and am able to bring a broad base of experience to the table including, but not limited to, contract disputes, business torts, surety bond claims, insurance recovery, intellectual property and other commercial matters. As a litigator, I focus on understanding my clients’ goals in order to develop an effective and personalized approach to resolve their disputes. In doing so, I am able to keep my clients grounded in reality by getting them to question their own motives before bringing a lawsuit, and if I perceive that the probable result is not in their best interests, I do not hesitate to advise against it. If they decide to proceed, my clients do so with their eyes open. But when the need to litigate a case arises, each client knows they will have a fierce advocate on their side.Although I have established a successful track record as a commercial litigator, I measure my success in terms of trust and confidence that my clients have instilled in me, and by that measure I have been quite successful. I represent clients of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies, to family owned, closely held corporations and individuals.Adhering to Wagner Law Group, PLLC’s motto, I focus on developing litigation strategies that minimize interruptions while producing winning results, so that my clients can concentrate on what they do best -- running their business.

Albert Einstein famously said: "You have to learn the rules of the game.  And then you have to play better than anyone else."  In keeping with this idea, I've attempted to maximize my knowledge of the rules of evidence and civil procedure, so that I can use the rules to my clients' advantage in pre-trial litigation, and anticipate and address opposing parties' arguments and objections at trial.  In addition, throughout all phases of court proceedings, my practice emphasizes attention to detail, superior research and writing, and thorough and systematic preparation..

After countless hours spent litigating cases in the courtroom, I set out for a new path in the legal profession. I realized that as a litigator, the vast majority of your time is spent in trial, depositions, client meetings, and court hearings. With so much "out of office" time, it is almost impossible for solo and small litigation firms to dedicate adequate time and attention to the paper side of litigaiton, i.e., motion drafting, pleadings, discovery, and composing other legal documents. With this in mind, I created to provide thorough research and legal drafting services to litigation attorneys. I combine by love of the law, research, and all things book with my extensive in court litigaiton experience to compose motions, pleadings, and other legal documents. In essence: I focus on the paper, so you can get back to the Courtroom. Check out our website at to learn how I can make cents for your firm.
