Marcelo Castro Alves Serves and his Ongoing Commitment to help the Community

Miami, FLA – Marcelo Castro Alves, of Focus Investment Advisor, is pleased to announce that he is celebrating his two-year anniversary as part of the Florida Bar grievance committee. As Castro Alves noted, during the last year he has definitely learned a lot about legal ethics and the rules that apply to lawyers and is shocked to see about some lawyers’ behaviors.

As he explained, the Florida Bar relies on grievance committees to determine whether there’s reason to think a lawyer violated state rules of professional conduct.

“I’m interested in helping the community,” Marcelo Castro Alves said, adding that he wants to help with these kinds of cases because he feels there are may be a few lawyers in Miami who could be more interested in making money than acting ethically – something he has experience with.

“I believe, in the past, I was the victim of an unethical lawyer practice, and malicious prosecution, but I did not file any Florida Bar complaint, yet.”

Lawyers in the U.S. may sometimes try to manipulate the law to their advantage, Marcelo Castro Alves said, and once precedence is built, they could create avenues to continue doing the same thing.

“In the U.S., there is the mentality that suing someone with no merit is acceptable and okay to do, and some lawyer don’t care about merits at all” Marcelo Castro Alves noted.

The “American rule” states that each party is responsible for paying their own legal fees regardless of outcome, Alves said. This is unique among English common-law systems. In most legal systems, the loser of the case pays the fees, which makes people much more circumspect about bringing a case.

“I don’t give a point of view as a lawyer, but I try to question the ethical rules and practices to give my opinion,” Marcelo Castro Alves said.
