Law Offices of Azuka L. Uzoh

Very disappointed with this gentleman. I filed In Pro Per in L.A. Superior court against a former employer after experiencing workplace discrimination at Cogent Communications, a local internet service provider. After finding Mr. Uzoh’s contact information on the
website, I sent him a message that explained my predicament and that asked for his services. He replied that he would represent me, and that I should travel from Las Vegas (where I’d moved to following my tenure in L.A.) to meet with him in person. After a 4 hour road trip on 11/​21, I’d done so, and thought at the time following our meeting that our conversation went very well. He again said that he was interested in taking the case. Another 4 hour road trip back home to Las Vegas (& $ 100 on gas) concluded the day’s endeavor.
Meanwhile, the Defendant continued to file motion after motion (and continues to do so at the time of this review), reaching into territory that my limited legal knowledge could not properly navigate, and I began reaching out to Mr. Uzoh for confirmation that he was in fact taking up the helm. Where was he and why was he allowing proceedings to progress as they were without substituting in, like he said he would? Where was the Fee Agreement that I was expecting to receive? I reached out once, twice, continually to no avail, with not so much as a response to my repeated voice mails and e-​mails. Finally, on 12/​9, a full *20 days* following our initial contact, I received a message basically confirming what I expected, that he would not in fact be taking my case.
Why this gentleman refused to show me the respect, common courtesy, and professional courtesy to simply tell me immediately what his true stance & position was about representing me instead of waiting 20 days to inform me of their denial to represent me is quite telling of this establishment’s unprofessionalism, discourteousness, and rudeness, especially and particularly because Mr. Uzoh knows and understands my very financially fragile economic condition and otherwise precarious housing situation after my life was turned upside down by the employer. He also knows that the success of my case absolutely rests on the advice and leadership of a competent, proactive, and caring Attorney who is going to fight tooth and nail to see to it that I’m made whole again. These are traits which I unfortunately cannot ascribe to Azukah Uzoh.

Azuka has helped me twice now. He is available and does not make you wait forever for an appointment, very prompt. He listens to your case, asks the right questions, has a good grasp of the law, and is a good advocate for tenants’ rights. He also does pro bono work, making it affordable depending on your financial situation. When you have Azuka in your corner when you are having a housing dispute, landlord issues, and etc, you will feel more empowered and also learn about your rights. I know I did.

i asked a friend for a good real estate /​tenant lawyer, and she used azuka. i had a matter with a questionable landlord who was trying to keep my entire security deposit and then some, and i needed some well priced, effective and good representation in the matter.
azuka advised me on the communications to take and make, and after i wrote the idiot landlord a scathing but true letter indicating very visible action i would take against them, i never heard from the buttonhole landlords again. and this, by the way, is after *their* lawyer said to me, «i’ve been doing this 25 years. i know exactly what to say in court to get our way…» so i guess they didn’t get their way! and i am grateful to azuka for the advice and guidance he gave!
after my experience, i referred another friend to azuka and she was very happy as well. she was from europe, didn’t have u.s. credit history, and wanted to rent an apartment. her landlord said he’d do it if she paid *6* months up front. (is that even legal?!) she was willing to do that, but wanted protection, so had azuka edit her lease in that regard. she also told me she was very happy — and she had her advice and paperwork within 48 hours of meeting him. (time is always of the essence in legal matters — so that is important!).
anyway, my experience with azuka tho brief, was excellent. my friend’s as well. he is definitely worth a call.
