The best experience ever

I retained Ms Tarasi for an impossible legal malpractice case. She did everything she said she would do and went beyond my expectations. I got a tremendous result. I am going to use her for all my legal needs. Cannot speak highly enough about her and her services.

Always answers my calls

I used attorney Tarasi in a real estate contract dispute. She addressed my issue immediately , filed suit and got us before a judge quickly. My Dispute was resolved in 6 months at a reasonable cost and in my favor.

Excellent

Attorney Tarasi takes as much time as necessary with her clients. She is very bright and understands the law as well as how to use it to advance her clients interests. She really fights for her clients. I recommend her if you ever need an 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.
