Subject: Important Warning Regarding Mariza Lockhart

I am writing to strongly advise you not to retain Mariza Lockhart as legal counsel. She came through a fake recommendation from facebook in San Diego real estate group . I had a real estate case with her for over four years, during which I experienced repeated negligence, lack of communication, and... behavior that I believe constitutes bad faith and professional misconduct. In my opinion, she is not a trustworthy attorney and does not act in the best interest of her clients. After years of frustration and lack of progress, I have been left with no choice but to terminate her services and pursue a new legal representative. I am more than willing to share documented evidence and communications that clearly reflect the extent of her unprofessional conduct. I am also currently exploring the appropriate channels to report her to the state bar and seek revocation of her license. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like further information. I share this only in the interest of protecting others from going through a similarly difficult and damaging experience. Sincerely,

Honest and Effective legal representation

Mariza is the best lawyer I've worked with over the years. She knows a lot, and she is fast at finding out what her clients need. Her manner in handling my case was skilled and professional but also personable, considerate and encouraging. She always responds to calls, email and texts, usually ...the same day. Her rates and billing practices are fair, and in my case, extremely generous. Mariza represented me in a matter that most lawyers might be afraid to confront, and she made the difference in the way things played out in the end in ways that only a person of the highest character would know and be able to do for a client.

DRIVEN ATTORNEY – EXTREMELY CAPABLE - INTEGRITY & COMPASSION: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

DRIVEN ATTORNEY – EXTREMELY CAPABLE - INTEGRITY & COMPASSION: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I speak very fast. Most people cannot hear as fast as I speak. It has been an advantage in our industry. However, when I am emotionally involved, I speak even faster. This was a matter in which I was complete...ly emotionally committed. As a business person, I am humbled to say I was a nervous wreck. Not only did Ms. Lockhart immediately HEAR and COMPREHEND the facts, details, persons involved and research that was dumped on her with great speed during the first hour, but she retained the information and was able to systematically select out, strategize and apply what was needed to win this case. She treated the frazzled me with respect and support. She dignified the entire process. Ms. Lockhart does not judge and understands that sometimes the system can be tricky Amazing. Throughout this process Ms. Lockhart worked tirelessly and hit the “Grand Slam” we were looking for. It is clear that she works as hard for her clients as much as she cares for them. She defends her clients' rights aggressively yet professionally. She earned the respect of both the parties on the other side as well as the“judge”. Her negotiation skills and her knowledge created the best possible outcome. From our very first meeting, Ms. Lockhart expressed an unmatched energy and assertiveness to get the ball rolling. She listened to the facts, read the evidence, and appraised the situation. She reviewed the facts to verify comprehension for accuracy and then discussed the options and discussed legal safeguards to put our rights first. She allowed plenty of time to answer personal concerns and questions. Mariza was totally prepared and fought for us at the hearing. In preparation, she gathered information from attorneys around the country to help us through this incredible and potentially heart breaking time. There isn't another attorney in San Diego that could have been as successful in obtaining the goals we established at the beginning of this case. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSIONAL, MARISA LOCKHART, TO GUIDE YOU AND PROVIDE YOU CLARITY THROUGH ANY BUSINESS TRANSACTION OR EVEN THROUGH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. Without the right counsel, you are negatively labeled by the other party; it is extremely damaging, spirit crushing and difficult to rewind the carnage. With Ms. Lockhart by your side, you have assertive, passionate representation. THANK YOU Mariza; you will continue to be in our prayers for continued successes and blessings!
