The only lawyer you'll ever need

I contacted Tasha after trying to handle my divorce alone to no resolve. Tasha had me re-filed and divorced in less time than I had waited for my initial court date when I filed alone. She had my family's best interest at heart, and I was able to focus on my kids while she handled everything for me. ...Her office staff was great to work with as well. I knew I was in good hands from day one. I am looking forward to working together on my estate planning next.

Absolutely Amazing

If you are in need, hire Tasha. Full stop. Tasha has supported me and my family through a multi-year case that has been extremely challenging. She has been incredibly resourceful and dependable throughout. Simply put, my life and the life of my family would be significantly different (are worse) i...f not for Tasha. She is also a fantastic human with a great sense of humor, which has been absolutely essential for keeping me sane throughout.

My Light in the Storm

Attorney Buzzell was the light amid what was, undoubtedly, the darkest period of my life. Witnessing my mother’s courageous two-year battle with cancer was devastating, traumatic, all consuming, and life changing. Moving on with my life as a wife, a mother of two young boys, and a teacher was difficu...lt, to say the least, and just when things seemed as though they couldn’t get any worse, my husband made the decision, through irreconcilable words and actions, to end our marriage nearly three months after my mother’s passing. The next thirteen months would have been virtually impossible to endure without the unwavering support of Attorney Buzzle. Because of her brilliant expertise and strong commitment to my case, she protected my interests and fought for my boys and I with fierce purpose and class, every step of the way, against someone so full of resentment and focused on asserting his dominance over me. She was always available when I needed her, consistently made her presence known to the opposing counsel, and as a result, I never felt alone throughout what I still consider to have been the biggest fight of my life to date. I’ve just now finally reached a period of calm in my life, surrounded by those whom I love most in this world, and I have Attorney Buzzell to thank for that. Her dedication is admirable, and because of her hard work, I am living the life that I now realize I deserved all along. Thank you, Attorney Buzzell!

Amazing Experience by true professional

Working with Tasha was a seamless, pleasant experience. Having worked with a different counsel for 10 months who didn't accomplish anything other than booking a court date, Tasha finalized my divorce in 30 days. She listened to my priorities and suggested a unique resolution that required think-out-o...f-the-box intuition. She was available and communicative, answered all questions thoroughly, and was a true professional. I highly recommend Tasha Buzzell!

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.
