At Ayala we are passionate about protecting and representing the little guy.
Anyone towing a vehicle in Florida without the consent of the owner must comply with the requirements of Florida Statutes Section 715.07. If you parked at a spot, and your car was towed when you came back, contact the local police department to report the vehicle as missing. Local law enforcement will be able to tell you whether your vehicle has been towed and, if so, which towing company towed the vehicle and where your vehicle is stored.
If your vehicle was damaged in the towing process, you may recover the costs to repair your vehicle. Florida Statutes also require that the towing company store your vehicle within 10 miles of the towing site. If your vehicle was taken to a storage location more than 10 miles from the location of the tow, your rights may have been violated.
There are also local rules that regulate how much a towing company can charge your vehicle based on its size and the time it was stored at its facilities.
All these laws and rules are there to protect you from Towing Companies’ predatory practices. If you believe you were not parked illegally, and yet, were towed, contact our office.
We will pursue your towing case on a contingency fee basis, which means you will have no responsibility for legal fees or expenses.

I am from Lima-Peru. Prior to my legal career, I was a consecrated lay in the Catholic Church where I held positions of leadership and studied theology and philosophy.
In 2002, I arrived in the United States with nothing but dreams. But I was not afraid. I always admired the possibilities this country had to offer. During my initial years, I worked in the restaurant industry as a waiter, driver, cook, and restaurant manager. After few years in the industry, in 2006, I became a successful restaurant owner.
But the restaurant business did not fulfill me professionally. Essentially an immigrant, I wanted to be involved in a trade where—while making a living—could at the same time help others that were in a position of disadvantage. Coming from a philosophy and theology background, the legal profession suited well my goals and skills.
In 2008, I went to FIU College of Law where I did well as a student. With limited english skills and a full time job fixing locks, I managed to graduate in the top 1/4 of a very competitive class; I take pride in that. I was also included in the dean’s list four out of six semesters and received the CALI Excellence Award in my Law and Politics in Latin America class for my research on the Mexican Constitution.
I started developing my advocacy skills working as a certified Legal Intern for Legal Services of Greater Miami. In Legal Services, I represented low-income people in landlord-tenant disputes. Later, I worked for the Immigration and Human Rights Clinic at FIU where I tried several cases in Immigration Court obtaining Asylum, Cancelation of Removal or relief under the Convention Against Torture for my clients.
In May 2011, after graduation from law school, I worked for large firms in Miami where I also practiced commercial litigation. In January 2013, I decided to start my own practice with the goal of providing competent, valuable legal representation to immigrants and businesses, specially from South America. I am passionate about my practice, and I try to give it all for my client’s cases.
My practice areas include immigration, real estate transactions, civil litigation, commercial litigation and business transactions.
I am fluent in English, Spanish. I also understand and speak some Italian.
