Great Experience

As bad fortune would have it, our family was involved in a motor vehicle accident in Palmdale. We called the number on the billboard for Kuzyk Law. Mark handled our case and proved that it was the other driver's fault. Thank goodness! It took some time because we were all injured, but we are more... than grateful to Mark for how he handled our case. I highly recommend this firm and Mark.

Mark Leonardo is an ANGEL! This man is truly a caring attorney, who gets the job done. He has represented me in several areas including Education Law, Home owners accociaton law, along with handling a Distric Attorney for me with a mishapp that could have ended very bad. He helped another person I kn...ow with SSA Law and did a great job. He handled a contract litigation with my mother and also did a great job. This Attorney is great!

Don't waste your money like I did.

I should have known from the beginning when he didn't show up at all to our meeting and then called me several hours later. His office is in the back of a "plant" nursery. He didn't return any of my calls. After two months I had to show up to his office. I asked for my money back and he promised... that he would prove himself to me if I gave him another chance. Again, after I had already paid mind you, he only returned my calls by texting me and he wanted to charge me additionally for what I already paid. He was not knowledgeable in my real estate matter because he kept having to "call other lawyers or check into it" on everything. He wasted my money and much more my valuable time.

GREAT Attorney!

Mark was extremely caring about me (client) and conscientious with my case. I feel that he went the extra mile for me and the results were very positive! I would highly recommend him!

Great Attorney

Mr. Leonardo is a genuinly caring person - and that's not always synomous with an attorney! His interest in me and my problem and his tenacity in working my case was more then I ever expected. He did a great job for me and I would not hesitate to contact him again if necessary. I would strongly recom...mend him to anybody!
