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.

Assertive and Caring Family Attorney

Leslie Puzo is very professional, efficient, and assertive. She carefully walked me through each step and provided me unequivocally excellent legal advice. Leslie made sure I understood what was going on in my Modification case. I wholeheartedly appreciate that Leslie always advocated for the best ...interest of my child. Additionally, Rosa Lara, the senior paralegal, is also very professional, helpful and assisted me with all my questions. Both Leslie and Rosa are not only diligent but also truly care about their clients. If you need of a family attorney, I absolutely recommend Leslie Puzo 100%.

Simply Amazing Attorney

The Puzo Law firm is such an amazing firm and continuously amazes me with their constant hard work and efforts. Thus far, Ms. Leslie Puzo has shown that a difficult task is not too difficult to handle. Her team such as Rosa & Marlen, are exceptional communicators & definitely comes thru with any & al...l information or concerns you may have. They remain professional even when us as clients can tend to react & become irritable with our attorney & staff when receiving a negative response to something we don’t agree with. However, I would recommend this team 100 x to anyone. Whether it is small or extremely difficult case such as ours, they will fight for you & for what’s in the best interest for your particular situation.

Very happy client

After visiting two well known family lawyers in South Florida, we hired Leslie Puzo for a custody battle that we unexpectedly had to deal with. The first two lawyers told us there was nothing they could do about our case. After our initial consultation with Leslie, we were very hopeful because she... immediately took our case and was almost certain we could win. After months of this process (it is a lengthy one -- not on her part), we won our case. Leslie + her office are professional, knowledgeable and respond quickly to our questions. She also prepared my mother's will and gave us a relief when the time comes in not having to deal with other issues about estates, etc. We highly recommend Leslie Puzo!

An attorney that actually cares for her clients

Miss Puzo was my attorney in 2 of my cases and both times she took on my case extremely personal, she was aggressive and fast. She knows what she is doing and you can tell she does it with a good heart. I've had to seek attorneys before and they have never treated me like miss Puzo did. I would recom...mend this amazing attorney with my eyes closed. From now on I will use her for all my families legal affairs. Thanks Leslie Puzo! I am extremely pleased.
