My amazing experience with Arleen and Gary Lazarus

Lazarus and Lazarus is a dream team to handle any of legal issues. I was unfortunate to be injured by a truck while crossing a road on a pedestrian. Not knowing how to handle this situation, my friend referred me to Gary Lazarus, who was beyond professional, compassionate and honest, yet easy to be u...nderstood in such a delicate situation. Besides his direct responsibilities of handling the case, amazing network of doctors, who all made sure I was recovering well, Gary was patient explaining me the entire legal process and the steps we had to go through, as I was never in situation like this before. Gary and his team always made me feel welcomed, my calls were always answered, never rushed nor postponed. If someone out there is doubting about hiring this attorney, I strongly recommend to do so. Him and his partner Arleen are willing to do everything and more to make sure their clients are healthy and happy. Last, but not least, the financial outcome is also very important, and Gary was able to increase the net settlement times, times more from what we were offered in the very beginning of the case.

Highly recommended!

From the very beginning from the very beginning Gary Lazarus was very upfront and honest. He made sure to get me connected to the best nice surgeon in South Florida and always made sure to follow up with me. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case I will definitely be recommending him t...o all my family and my friends. Arlene was amazing when it came to negotiating my medical bills and being able to get me a nice settlement. Thank you so much Gary and Arlene! You guys are amazing you have no idea how thankful my son and I are to your firm.

First Class

I consider myself very lucky to have Gary Lazarus as my attorney. If it wasn't for his aggressive, persistent, and realistic approach, I would not have seen such a favorable outcome from an injury that changed my life. Gary and his team do things first class. Their communication, and execution was fa...ntastic and very comforting at times. I would recommend anybody in need of an attorney to contact Lazarus & Lazarus without hesitation. I am excited for what my future has to bring, and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Gary. I am forever grateful for his time and efforts.

Car accident w/ injuries

I was referred to Mr. Lazarus through a friend, I already had a lawyer on my case but it was the worst experience ever. I would have to chase down my other attorney and they never kept me informed with anything that was related to my case. So I decided to go meet Mr. Lazarus to see if he would do a ...better job on my case. Mind you this was my first time ever being in an accident, and the first time ever hiring an attorney. Once I met Gary I just knew he was a better choice, through our first consultation Gary made sure that I understood everything about my case and what further steps needed to be taken in order to make sure that my case was taken care of correctly. Gary and his staff always made sure to contact me and keep me in the loop on everything that was happening on my case. My previous lawyer sat on the case for almost 2 years without making any progress, once Gary got his hands on my case we were settled in about 6 months. Gary and his team were so thorough and quick with my case I was amazed at the amount of money he was able to get me. If it wasn't for Gary and his team I wouldn't have gotten half the amount I received and most likely I would still be waiting for my case to settle. I am so thankful for being referred to Gary they made me feel appreciated and just as important as his other clients. To this day I still refer anybody that has gotten into an accident, I have had other friends of mine use Gary and there's never been one disappointed client. If anything Gary and his team go above and beyond for their client's assuring that they receive what is deserved for them and making sure that you are truly feeling better before settling the case. Gary doesn't treat his client's like money signs he truly cares about his client's well being. I would absolutely use Gary and his team again if ever needed.

Gary is very thorough and easy to work with

I want to take this opportunity to recommend the services of The Law Offices of Lazarus and Lazarus, P.A. Mr. Lazarus has represented me and has provided legal advice for the past 12 years as my attorney. His knowledge and attention to detail aided in settling my case against a fortune 100 uniform c...ompany. It was not difficult to prove my injuries, however, the company I was fighting against fought back and tried to disprove that their driver was at fault or that my injuries were not severe. My case was settled before going to trial. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I feel confident in recommending Mr. Lazarus’s law firm and legal services. He is not only thorough, but also easy to work with, and is always willing to take the time to discuss concerns and respond to questions. Regards, Heidi
