Nadia Rocks

Before I met Nadia, I filed my divorce with an other attorney who actually got me in more trouble and gave me a lot more headaches than what's normal. That attorney was too much! I was losing my mind and my hopes to be honest. But then I did my research and found Nadia Pazos and her awesome team. So ...I did the switch (a little bit scared). But I am so happy I DID! They got me through this bumpy process as smoothly as possible. No more trouble and no more headaches. It felt like they took it personal, which is a great feeling. I will be for ever thankful!! and I told them, I will be back if I ever need an attorney again, not for divorce tho, I’m not getting into that again LOL.

...and sometimes, people really are as caring and as good as they seem!!!

Where do I even begin? This is going to be a pretty long review, as there's so much good to say about this amazing attorney, Nadia Pazos. However, if all you'll end up reading is only this first paragraph, then know this - Nadia truly cares, and Nadia is an extremely knowledgeable, and experienced fa...mily law attorney, who will fight tooth-and-nail to get her clients the best possible outcome! A little background - I am a very analytical individual, who likes to always be prepared. So, naturally I spent many hours compiling a list of who I thought would be the best attorney to help me with my case. I read as many attorneys’ profiles and reviews, as I could find. Finally, I was down to a list of about 20…then 10…and then 5. Nadia’s online presence (profiles, ratings, reviews, website, etc.) was near perfection. However, I still wanted to meet my top 5 attorneys in person, before I made my final decision of which one to hire. I purposely met Nadia last, and when I explained to her that she is not the only attorney I'm having a consultation with, her response was simply, "I think you'll quickly notice that we are a little different than most." Having met with each of the 5 attorneys, Nadia’s statement couldn’t be any more accurate. The difference was clear - instead of looking at an individual and seeing only a potential new client and billable hours, Nadia looks at an individual and sees a person in need of help, an individual who is about to embark on what likely will be one of the most difficult journeys of their life. The entire divorce process was very smooth, with Nadia and the rest of her team keeping me updated on the status of each and every step along the way. Whenever I had questions (and I had lots, and lots of questions), I would always receive a very quick, detailed response. My one and only area of concern was that she might be a little too nice, and that she will not be “aggressive” enough during the case. However, when it came to standing her ground and being tough, Nadia did exactly that! The main difference was - she did it with reason, respect, confidence and a smile on her face! I will never forget a moment at mediation, when the ex-spouse and the opposing attorney, were on the verge of yelling across the table, with the hopes of us giving-in to one of their requests. Nadia proceeded to slowly, calmly, but very firmly explain to the opposition why their request was not going to be granted. Nadia provided her supporting evidence to prove her stance, and she did it all while keeping a smile for most of the time. What a class act! Pure professionalism! The privilege of having Nadia in my corner, during what turned out to be the most difficult time of my life, was life-changing! I can’t even imagine what would have happened, had I not had such a good, caring attorney by my side! Having gone through my divorce case, I can now say with complete honesty, that hiring the right attorney will be the single most important decision of your family law case. Nadia Pazos IS that “right attorney”! Nadia, your passion for family law, and your passion for helping people during some of their toughest times, is nothing short of inspiring! When I first asked you about how difficult it must be for you to have to deal with so much negativity, since most divorce cases won't exactly be pleasant, you gave me a very simple answer, "I don't focus on the process, but rather on the happy, fresh start that we are able to help our clients reach. I love what I do!” I now know what you meant by that. You were referring to moments precisely such as this one - a moment when I can think back at my divorce case, and feel only pure gratitude! Pure gratitude for having you in my corner, guiding me to “the light at the end of the tunnel”. You are a true inspiration to the family law community, and I am honoured to be able to say that I was represented by Nadia Pazos! Thank You, Nadia!!! I will forever be grateful!!!

A person looking out for my interests!

After researching and reading reading reviews, I retained Nadia to represent me in my divorce case. At one point, I began to work with Luz and at first I was skeptical because after all it was Nadia I researched, but Luz held her own and she was great as well. I was equally happy with both of them. N...adia and Luz understood what I wanted, and did everything they could to help me obtain it. Unfortunately for me, I had to deal with an opposing counsel that seem to have made my case personal, but Nadia stood her ground and would not give in to demands that she knew would not work for me. If that was not enough, even after I no longer had her representation, Nadia continued to follow up with me on progress and assisted me if and when I had questions on procedures, etc. I could not have asked for a better person in my corner. These ladies are HUMAN, they care, but they will not be bullied in court! Thank you Nadia and Luz for all the work and effort you put in my case. I know it wasn't easy, I know I sometimes wasn't easy! I am a momma bear protecting my cubs, which is fitting!

Karla, First, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. You totally ARE a mama bear protecting her cubs, which is why I want to continue to make sure that things are going well for you and your beautiful children. You're an amazing and very intelligent mother and person. Thanks for letting us help you. Keep in touch please.

Who you want fighting for your future!

After consultations at other law firms, I knew immediately I wanted to go with Nadia. Not only was I made to feel so comfortable during the worst time of my life, but I was always kept informed. She truly cares about achieving the best outcome for the entire "family". She is very knowledgeable and I... felt so confident with her fighting for me and my children. I was also pleasantly surprised that the whole process did not take nearly as long as other attorneys had suggested it would. Unlike the other law firms where it seemed to me that I was just another paycheck, I felt like my case really mattered. She really listened to me and was so thorough. She fought for what was fair and right instead of settling. I feel so fortunate to have chosen Pazos Family Law and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

A difficult case where Miss Pazos performed amazingly.

The Pazos family law firm was hired to handle to represent my mother in law in her divorce. From the beginning, Nadia Pazos worked diligently on this case. With my in laws married for over 30 years, proceeding in this case was met with a lot of conflict and resistance from both sides. Through it all,... Miss Pazos continued to remain a source of support and information for the family members authorized to have information on the case. What made it even more difficult is that my in laws owned their own business and my mother in law was completely shut out financially. Miss Pazos' firm worked with my mother in law in terms of payment plans and affording her excellent courtesy in her payments. Miss Pazos' greatest work on this case came when she was finally able to negotiate a settlement between my in laws, gaining my mother in law an alimony that was a lot higher than she would have gotten had the divorce gone to trial. The concessions she was able to get from my father in law and his attorney was absolutely astonishing. Miss Pazos worked continuously and very hard on this case, but what made her a great attorney was the fact she took time to personally get invested in the case. She truly wanted to get my mother in law the best settlement she could to set her up for the rest of her future. That drive and passion, I believe, helps Pazos when she takes on a case because she will not relent until she feels she has landed the best situation for her client. Miss Pazos is to be commended for the hours, efforts, and overall commitment to my mother in law's divorce. If you are looking for an attorney who will work in your best interest and who will make certain that all stones are unturn in her work, absolutely go meet with Pazos Family Law firm. From my family, we'd like to say a thank you to Miss Pazos for allowing us to close the chapter in a very ugly time for my family. This attorney will be an asset for anyone needing a divorce attorney and she comes highly recommended.

David, Thank you very much for your review. This definitely was a complex case both legally and emotionally, with a range of sensitive issues. I really put my heart into making sure that we took great care of your mother in law and that she would not have to face financial worries or burdens due to this divorce so that she could move on and enjoy her life with her children and grandchildren. For that reason, this review means so much to me. Thank you for taking the time to share your heartfelt feedback. I wish you and your mother in law and entire family all the best! Thanks again, Nadia Nadia
