Great customer service.

I was very pleased with how well they took care of my mother-in-law. They were very patient and answered all of her questions. They did everything they could to relieve her stress. They even met with her in a room downstairs so she did not need to climb the stairs. They did a very thorough job wi...th her bankruptcy. We were very pleased with the outcome.

Bankruptcy Attorney Review

Mr. Fernandez handled our bankruptcy from beginning to end with the utmost professionalism and knowledge. He walked us through each and every step, not stopping until he knew we understood and were comfortable with everything. His Assistant Shelly Morin was wonderful and kept us notified via email ...or phone call continuously, If we had questions they were answered immediately. The law office made a strenuous, stressful situation as pleasant as possible. We are extremely grateful to them.

Competent and Caring Attorney

Lazaro was able to assist me in navigating the legal process and filing the necessary documents protecting my interests. He is highly regarded in the legal community but more importantly he goes above and beyond for his clients. I wish all lawyers were like Lazaro!

My name is susie and I to had to file for bankrupcty. I was so backed up in my Bill's I was losing sleep over it. A friend of the family referred us to Mr Lazaro and team. That was the best move I ever made. After talking to Mr Lazaro he assured me that everything was going to be alright to stop st...ressing and explained the paper work to me. His secretary also made sure I had everything in order and together. Now I can sleep and not worry about my debt thank you Mr Lazaro and team. Show quoted text

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.
