Luis joined Catholic Charities of Milwaukee as a Staff Attorney in March of 2023. Before joining, he worked as a Public Defender in Waukesha County, advocating for clients in destitute financial circumstances facing criminal charges. There, he filed motions, cross-examined witnesses, and argued for clients in mental competency and extradition proceedings. In practice, he has found that developing a cohesive strategy and communicating often with clients is necessary to working with purpose and performance.

Luis is a 2020 graduate of Marquette University’s Law School. He was born in Miami, Florida to exiles who were paroled into the United States following the takeover of government in Cuba on January 1, 1959. Now, he aspires to help his clients forge new lives in new communities, transcending the grief of migration. Luis also enjoys cooking, reading, and watching highlights of baseball legends, like Martin Dihigo.

Luis is currently working on U Visa and VAWA petitions, asylum claims, and adjustments of status.
