Highly Recommend

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for all of the hard work and support Tasha Buzzell and her team gave me during my contempt hearing. Having to go through the frustration of filing a contempt was one of the most difficult times in my life, and her expertise, profession...alism, and guidance made the process so much easier. From the first consultation, she listened to me and helped me understand the legal process involved in fighting for a contempt complaint. She was always there for me, whether it was to answer my questions, provide reassurance, or simply lend an ear when I needed to talk. Throughout the proceedings, she handled everything with care, precision, and a deep understanding of the law keeping me informed every step of the way and ensuring me that my best interests were always at the forefront of the case. I am grateful for everything that she has done for me and my family, and I would highly recommend Tasha Buzzell and Associates LLC to anyone navigating through the family court system. Her kindness and professionalism have made a significant impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for her help.

Hire Tasha before your Ex Does

After seeing Tasha in action I immediately replaced my original attorney with her. She's that good. Having Tasha there for me and my family means the world to me. I get emotional just thinking about it. Because of her I've been able to be there for my daughter during so many happy moments. And j...ust as importantly able to hold her close during some sad ones. Over four years I've been to family court 14 times and observed 40-50 attorneys. Never once did I think I was missing out. And it made me appreciate having a good person that is a brilliant attorney. I think the best family law attorneys are smart, caring, committed, quick on their feet, calm under pressure, resourceful and resolution based. Tasha is all of these. We've all made mistakes or we would't be here. Don't make the mistake of hiring the wrong lawyer. Or worse, let your ex hire Tasha.

Epitome of professionalism

Tasha Buzzell is confident and determined, articulate and compassionate, brave and committed to her clients. She stepped into an existing mess. Undeterred, she persevered and marched forward. I will be forever grateful for her commitment to justice and my family. She is a consummate professional.

Do not hesitate call Tasha, you will not be dissapointed

Before I hired Tasha I was attempting to work with and co-parent with a mentally ill and very high conflict parent that barely allowed me to see our child. When I finally had enough and realized this was having a negative impact on the relationship and bonding with my child, I went looking for the b...est and fortunately found Tasha. From the moment I walked into her office I felt for the first time that everything was going to be ok. I was very stressed and worried that my child was going to be kept from me and it would be years before I could have a meaningful relationship with my child. Tasha immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident my child would not be kept from me. Starting from the first court hearing things improved dramatically and continued to improve through the final court hearing where now I have Joint Custody and enjoy significant parenting time with my child and have developed a bond that would not have been possible without Tasha representing me. I am as significant part of my child's life as the other parent. When I hired Tasha I not only hired her to represent me but also represent my child and fight for my child’s rights to have a bond and relationship with me. If left to the other parent I would have been erased from my child’s life and Tasha put a stop to that! I now have equal rights and access to my child. Thanks to Tasha I am no longer just a visitor. If you find yourself in a situation where you are hoping things improve between you and the other parent, stop hoping and reach out to Tasha and her team. Time is precious and my one regret is I didn’t reach out to her sooner. Although my child is young, had I reached out sooner my child and I would have enjoyed each other sooner. You can’t get time back so call her now so you can start being a significant part of your child’s life. You and your child's relationship can not afford to wait. Five Stars just are not enough for Tasha and her team . She is an expert in family law and is a true professional. You will not be disappointed.
