Caring, Skillful, & Knowledgable

I've hired the Lagarde Law Firm twice now (one car accident handled by Mary and one contracts case handled by Richard) and have been pleased with the level of service and results both times. The first time I hired them was for a car accident where I was injured. Mary took the time to investigate the ...facts of the accident, thoroughly explain my options, recommend the best course of action, and execute her plan with precision. The process was pretty painless for me as Mary took care of everything from start to finish. I was kept aware of the progress of my case at all times and the matter was resolved quickly. I was very happy with the outcome of that case and relieved that we were able to avoid the headache of trial while achieving excellent results. She even helped negotiate my medical bills down so there was more money in my pocket in the end. I would highly recommend Mary if you are in need of a skilled attorney! She and her team will treat you like family and truly care about each client.

An attorney you can trust

Mary is one of the attorneys currently representing me in a suit against a lottery vendor. The suit was filed in late 2014 and is still ongoing. As a result, I have had many dealings with Mary. She's extremely prompt in returning phone calls, texts and emails. She explains the process in depth so I ...understand what's going on. She is organized, thorough, patient, knowledgeable and professional. No matter how our case ends, I would recommend Mary to anyone needing an attorney.

Absolutely The Best Attorney

Mary is an extremely professional attorney. She knows and understands the law. She takes your case with a passion and does not stop. She is extremely thorough, detailed, meticulous, methodical, complete, diligent and I could continue to go on. You will not find a better attorney to have on your s...ide. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the law and how she was able to help me. Her advice for my deposition allowed me to prepare and be successful for that very exhausting and grueling day. She is always available and you can reach her any time. She will spend as much time with you as needed. You will never feel rushed or that you are not the most important client she has. If I ever needed another attorney in her field I would not hesitate to contact her.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
