Criminal Defense 60%

In 1997, I worked in the District Attorney's Office in New York City. There, I specialized in Sex Crimes and Domestic Violence. When I moved to Florida in 2002, I immediately began working for the State Attorney's Office in Lee County and later in Collier County, handling all criminal traffic, DUI's, violations of probation, and general misdemeanors. I opened up my own office in 2003, defending the citizens of Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade, Broward, Hendry, Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

Experienced, compassionate, ethical

Sal Bazaz was so compassionate when I called about my terrible situation, he was kind and listened to all the details, but also was tough and moral regarding what had to be done. He offered wise counsel that really helped. His office staff are nice and efficient and accomplished what I needed; commu...nication was fast and the services were affordable. I highly recommend Sal and his office to anyone undergoing a family law situation where you need someone who actually cares about you and who has years of experience dealing with the courts here.

No response

Mr. Bazaz lied to me he took money to start my case and open it up we had a plan in place and the first plan didn't work and he refused to answer my emails or my phone calls after that plan did not work so we can move on to the next plan which was to go to court. Never explain why he never said anyth...ing about stopping my case he just stopped talking to me that is terrible way run a law firm to take my money and then never respond to me again. He should be taken off the Bar Association

Violation of Probation and Driving While License Restricted

Sal is a great attorney who explains the process clearly and doesn't promise anything. However, through his expertise and knowledge of the law he is sure to fight your case and answer any questions at any time of day. Both my cases were dismissed. He is well known throughout Southwest Florida.
