    Excellent Lawyer

    Posted by

    We went through a bankruptcy with the help of Arna Cortazzo. She was very informative and helpful throughout the entire process! We were worried about filing for bankruptcy at first but she made the process very easy and stress free.

    Great lawyer. We recommend her.

    Posted by

    At a very difficult time, Arna took all of the weight off of our shoulders, She answered our calls and emails and all our questions. She was very kind and caring with us but, don't let that fool you, she is REALLY tough on the other side when she needs to be. She is smart and knows what she is doing. She took over the courtroom. We wouldn't want to be on the other side that's for sure. We were very impressed. She handled everything that we encountered. We highly recommend her !"

    Best lawyer I have ever worked with

    Posted by

    Arna is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. When I contacted her and explained the urgency of the matter regarding the preparation of a will and medical power of attorney, she quickly turned it around and made the process incredibly simple. I highly recommend Arna to work with for Estate planning issues.
