Great divorce attorney

I feel very satisfied with the services I received from attorney Leslie Puzo and Rosa, the amazing paralegal. My divorce was a bit complicated but the Puzo Law firm progressed my case quickly and I was able to get my assets and divorce in less than one year! I'm very grateful and recommend this law f...irm if you need a divorce attorney.

Professional and genuinely compassionate

I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude toward Puzo Law. I want to especially thank Leslie for being there for me through the entire process and during one of the hardest times in my life. A big thank you to Karina as well, for her patience and kindness during our phone calls. Everyone a...t Puzo Law is truly amazing—so kind, supportive, and professional. They walk with you every step of the way, guiding you through everything with care and understanding. I absolutely love this law firm. They are incredibly accommodating and understanding, especially for those who are struggling. They will work with you and stand by your side. Bottom line: I am beyond pleased to have chosen them as my representatives. They are very professional and genuinely compassionate.

Incredibly kind and compassionate

I can’t say enough good things about Puzo Law. They supported me through a tricky adoption process, and I truly felt cared for every step of the way. A special thank you to Karina, my incredible paralegal — she was not only knowledgeable and responsive, but also incredibly kind and compassionate. She... treated my case like more than just paperwork — she genuinely cared about what was best for me and my family. I also want to thank Attorney Adrian Prieto, who led my case with professionalism, empathy, and dedication. He took such good care of us and made sure we felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, our case is now officially closed and my kids are adopted — I could not be happier today! Thank you to the entire team at Puzo Law for helping make this dream come true. Our family is complete!

An attorney who will go above and beyond

I came to Puzo Law feeling defeated and uncertain after my previous attorney mishandled my custody case. The stakes couldn’t have been higher—I was fighting for my child—and I needed someone who would not only clean up the mess but fight for what was right. That’s exactly what Attorney Leslie Puzo an...d her amazing paralegal Karina Mariategui did. I chose Puzo Law after researching and speaking with several firms. Leslie stood out because she was honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and compassionate. She didn’t make empty promises—she laid out a plan, explained my options, and treated my case like it truly mattered. Her confidence and clarity gave me peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Leslie and Karina got right to work. They reviewed my case in detail, caught mistakes the previous attorney had made, and quickly got everything back on track. They were always accessible, explained legal processes in a way I could understand, and made me feel heard every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was ultimately awarded full custody—something I never thought possible after where things started. To anyone looking for a custody attorney or legal team who will go above and beyond: hire Puzo Law. They are the kind of professionals you want in your corner—smart, strategic, and truly invested in their clients’ lives. I’m forever grateful for what they’ve done for me and my child.

There are better attorneys

I won't make this a drawn-out review. However, please note, my case did have a positive outcome that I am happy with (that I do not credit Ms. Puzo for), so this review is a real and honest review about Leslie and her firm. This firm cares about money, that's it. If you choose her, please be prepared... to pay a lot. My divorce with one child and no arguments on division of assets (had no property) cost me over $30k. Leslie lacks communication, care, and just plain human decency. A divorce for a single mother with one child is an extremely difficult process, and she could have cared less, no matter how much she claimed to have cared. I thought hiring them would relieve some of my stress and anxiety, but no, it gave me a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety and plenty of tears dealing with this firm. I give the utmost credit and respect to the judge and general magistrate on my case who really opened my ex-husbands eyes on the law and how things worked. Because with their influence he was able to better his communication with me and have a changed perspective on the outcome of time-sharing and child support for our child. We both eventually came to an amicable agreement and settled the divorce without the attorneys because they were getting us nowhere. Marah was the only person at Puzo Law who I respected and enjoyed speaking with. She is the receptionist for the office. Other than that, please do your research. This attorney does not care. She will wait until last minute to do anything of importance, she will take forever to speak to you and give excuse after excuse for why she is behind or not on top of things and will blame the opposing counsel. She was not that "bulldog" attorney I thought I was getting and was expecting for $400/hr. Just PLEASE, save your money, find a better attorney who cares about you and your family and will fight for you. Because this lady, does not.
