Court-Appointed Attorney

Attorney is atrocious. He fails to file documents, bills $400 an hour and does incomplete work. He failed to serve all parties.

Very responsive and experienced attorneys

I have worked with the Mazza Law office and Bri Niro several times. I find that they are very responsive to any questions and concerns that you may have and always ask for feedback regarding decisions to be made in the case. I have recommended Mazza to several people and will continue to refer and ...retain Mazza for any matters I have in the future. I am a licensed fiduciary so I often have a need for an elder law attorney.

Great!

Danny and his group are amazing! He has been a great help for what needed to be done with the trust. I couldn't have gone through this without his help. Erin is just as awesome and always there to help out. I highly recommend Mazza Law.

Difficult to contact

A very disappointing experience. It has been impossible to get a final product from this office due to the missed phone appointments, missed document deadlines, and failures to return emails and calls. I eventually gave up trying to complete the documents because of outstanding questions that I was u...nable to get answers to. I could only ever reach the receptionist who promised on multiple occasions to "have them call me right back". I received no calls back. This process started on 11/5/19. I finally got documents to review on 1/21/20 and was still unable to get additional information prior to giving up in March. I assume they already got paid by my Legal Plan but I am no closer to actual documents than I was before I contacted them. I guess I will have to start over somewhere else. Two stars for Daniel being very pleasant in the responses I did get from him.

Danny is absolutely amazing.

I have retained the Mazza Law Firm a dozen or so times as co-counsel on a variety of matters in my career. Knowing Danny since law school, I have always knows him to be a cheery and sociable guy. I am glad to see he has translated this into hi spractice, while also giving his clients the asisstance t...hey need. I'd stongly recommend you contact Danny and his frim for whatever Will/Trust or other similar need you have!

"I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mazza at a National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys conference this year. Over the course of several days, I worked with a group of attorneys to discuss and work our way through complex estate planning, elder law and special needs issues. Mr. Mazza consistently led these discussions and proved to be highly knowledgeable in the law. He has a deep understanding of the issues related to estate planning, elder law and special needs. If you are considering working with Mr. Mazza, I would recommend him without hesitation. He really gets it!"

  • 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.
