Excellent Legal Representation with great experience and highly recommend

I could not be more grateful and thankful to Aaron for his excellent care on my case. He worked diligently and quickly to resolve my case in the most optimal situation. He always responded to me quickly and would also speak to me thoroughly with kindness and compassion. He took care to answer all of ...my questions and is extremely professional in his work. I would highly recommend Aaron for any criminal court case!

You are in good hands with Aaron Lazar

We were given one day to prepare for a hearing. Mr. Lazar made himself available over the weekend to support us. Not only did he research and prepare our case expediently but his compassion toward our family helped us to understand the process, understand the potential outcomes, and feel confident fo...r the hearing. Mr. Lazar was knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring. Thankfully, the case against us did not move forward. Mr. Lazar's representation was excellent. Even more valuable to us was having someone patiently and kindly walk us through a very unexpected and confusing processs. You will be in good hands with Aaron Lazar.

Didn't even have to testify!

Handled everything perfectly, I was the defendant and I didn't even need to testify! Extremely satisfied with my experience and everything was made abundantly clear and digestible throughout the duration of my case. Highly recommend.

Excellent, professional and attentive attorney

I hired Aaron for a harassment-prevention order hearing and I couldn’t be more pleased. He was extremely professional, well-prepared and meticulous in every detail. He took the time to understand my situation fully, clearly explained each step, and carried out the hearing with sharp and persuasive ar...guments. His calm confidence put me at ease in a stressful moment. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone seeking a dedicated, thorough, and results-oriented attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
