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!

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.

God sent

I was very much fortunate in getting Mr.Lazar last year for an OUI case and license suspension as a referral from Legal Shield. Not only has he stayed in touch throughout the entire process he also was able to go milestones in getting everything situated. He was able to counsel and offered me high ho...pes of making it through the entire process. Words cannot begin to describe the occurrence we both went through together. He is a top defense lawyer in my book and will work hard diligently through whatever circumstances.

Great Attorney! Couldn’t ask for more!

Aaron was absolutely wonderful, we could not have asked for a better experience during a most difficult time. He is kind, courteous and extremely professional. Aaron helped with our criminal car and also false DCF allegations. Aaron made sure he is there to protect the best interest not only to me (c...lient) but my family as well. If in need please don’t hesitate to contact Aaron directly!

Great Attorney, Best you can hire.

Attorney Lazar handled my case professionally, competently, and quickly. He had extensive experience with cases similar to mine (record sealing case) and was very willing to answer any questions I had. On top of that, he was able to navigate recent changes to the law and make my case in court.

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.
