Best in Pinellas

Belinda is one of those rare attorneys who makes you feel calm the moment she starts talking. She’s smart, steady, and professional, but also real. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she represents. She doesn’t sugarcoat things. She tells you the truth and helps you make sense of it.... I trusted her completely, and that’s not something I say often. Belinda knows her stuff and carries herself with quiet confidence. You can feel her experience in every step she takes. If you’re lucky enough to have her on your side, you’re in good hands.

Appalling

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this divorce lawyer. From the start, their bedside manner was appalling—cold, brash, and completely lacking in empathy during what was already a difficult time. Communication was poor, and I felt like just another case file, not a person going through ...a life-altering situation. They were unprofessional, dismissive, and seemed more interested in billing hours than actually providing quality legal support. Ultimately, we parted ways because I couldn’t continue working with someone so unprofessional. It felt like an absolute waste of both time and money. I would never recommend their services to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and find someone who actually cares.

Excellent attorney

Belinda was my voice of reason and an advocate for my rights. She is an excellent attorney and I tell anyone going through family law matters to go to her firm.

Divorce and family business settlement

Belinda is an exceptional lawyer and worked hard to make my divorce and business separation as easy and financially affordable as possible.

She helped me get through my divorce

Ms. Lazzara represented me in my divorce during 2005. She kept me well informed throughout the process and copied me promptly on anything having to do with my case. She returned my phone calls and responded to my emails within a reasonable period of time, which I appreciated. She did not always sa...y what I wanted to hear, but she said what I needed to hear to stay focused and achieve the best outcome for my case. I would not hesitate to refer my friends or family to her if they needed representation in a family law matter.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
