After what I thought was a lost case due to the TERRIBLE AWFUL mistakes of the law offices of Eric Palacios that took over 3 years, the team at Gazda & Tadayon took over and managed to save my Personal Injury case. Their staff is professional and truly proves they are there to help and serve you. They fight hard, intelligently, and with pride. Kudos to the entire firm!

I needed an attorney to represent me after I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle. I was riding when a car pulls out of a parking lot and hits me. I end up flipping over the hood of the car and the next thing I know I am in the emergency room. A few days later as I am recovering from my injuries I get a copy of the police report and am completely surprised tobread that the person that pulled out in front of my and struck me while I had the right of way is claiming I caused the accident. Even though I was riding a motorcycle he is claiming I hit his vehicle from behind hard enough to force his vehicle to turn a 180. Just because I was taken away by ambulance and unable to give my statement he felt he could get away with lying and blaming me for the accident as well as try and claim damages from me. I immediately contacted Gazda & Tadayon as I was given their name from a friend who had used them and was very happy with their work and attention they showed him with his case. I was given an appointment that day and met with Lewis Gazda. He immediately put my mind at ease and contacted my insurance company as well as the other drivers insurance company and let it be known we were disputing the facts of how the accident hapoened. Lewis and his entire staff handlked everything for my case with professionalism and got me quick answers to any questions I had. In the end my case settled and I was completely happy with the outcome. I would recommend Gazda & Tadayon to anyone that needs a personal injury attorney.

I had a car accident that was completely not my fault. I was stopped at a light and struck from behind by a vehicle that was not paying attention. I had never been in an accident before and my friend recommended I contact a lawyer. She suggested Mr. Gazda and I am glad she did. He helped me through this as I had no idea how to handle any of it. I was injured in the accident and I had medical bills coming in and he helped me handle everything. He spoke with me and talked to me whenever I had a question. Most importantly he got me a very favorable settlement. I would recommend anyone needing a lawyer to see Mr. Gazda at Gazda & Tadayon.

I came to Las Vegas in 2012 and got into a motorcycle accident. I was looking for a lawyer, and came across Gazda and Tadayon I met with Lewis he did a great job in getting me a check cut fast from the insurance company. I am feeling better and I did not have any fees until they collect on my case or there would be none. I would call them again instantly if I were in any type of accident.

I contacted Lewis to represent me in my automobile accident case. From the moment I first spoke to Lewis about the case it was obvious he knew the law and was very experienced. He explained that entire process of what could happen and was available to answer all of my questions. When he called to tell me he had a settlement offer i was very happy but he told me the offer not fair as it was too low and he would work on getting me what he felt I deserved. A few days later he called me back and told me he was able to get more money that he believed was fair. I was ecstatic! I was very happy with Lewis and his entire staff who answered my numerous questions and helped me when I needed it the most. I will definitely come back to Mr. Gazda if I ever need attorney and highly recommend him to everybody that has been injured.

Losing a loved one is hard enough and then finding out you have to deal with a wrongful death is equally hard, that's why I sought out Luis. Let me start off by saying Luis Gazda is far from professional. He violated tons of rules. For example conflict of interest as he signed my sister and myself when I told him we both have different agendas. Then broke confidentiality talking to a whole bunch people that he shouldn't be talking to about my case. I also called in at least a couple times a week but always got the run around. All I wanted was to know was what was going on with my case and it would be months until I finally got a hold of Gazda. As of April 2016 I wanted to go a different route in my case and ended up speaking with his assistant/ secretary named Marla. She was extremely rude and screamed at me because she didn't agree with what I was saying. I got a letter a few days later saying they dropped me. I was fine with them dropping me but the problem I was having is that when the insurance company finally said they were ready, I was informed Luis Gazda put a lien on my case. Yes he was the one that dropped me and in his contract it states that I only have to pay him of I signed an agreement with the settlement and he dropped me before all of that. I get a bill for $20k from Luis. He literally is charging me for Manila folders, paper clip, binders sheets, photo copies and basic supplies and I consulted this with a different attorney and they said they never heard of such requests. I'm just warning anybody going through them please be careful!

Lewis Gazda's response: Valerie and Melissa unfortunately experienced the very tragic loss of their father. I was originally retained to represent one of the sisters and after both sisters contacted me it was clear that the sisters had a conflict of interest. As such, I was not able to represent either one of them. After informing them they would have to seek alternative counsel they posted their negative comments. I wish them the best of luck.
