Luis, founding member of the firm, with degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration, was one of the first Cuban Americans to graduate from the University of Miami Law School in 1970.

Starting as a general practitioner, he later developed a products liability practice, when that area of law was in its infancy, aided by his engineering and construction industry background. Over 20 years ago, he settled a case for the loss of use of one arm, for the unprecedented present value of 2.7 million dollars with a 10 million dollar payout. Since then, Luis has obtained verdicts and settlements for his clients in the millions of dollars in Florida state and federal courts.

To this day, he still personally inspects all products for the firm’s products liability cases, as well as assists in developing the liability strategies and selecting the most suitable experts for the cases. He is a certified circuit court mediator, arbitrator and a PAD alumni. Luis has been married to his wife Bell for 42 years and is the father of partners, Daren and Todd.
