I do not recommend the law firm BZBM, or Marco Quazzo.

I do not recommend the law firm BZBM, or Marco Quazzo. I had a two year interaction with this Firm, that ended-up, being a negative experience. BZBM over-billed, and used questionable billing practices, to generate excessive Fees, in my opinion. I have seven Instances of being overcharged, i...n my opinion. I have an additional 12 pages of questionable billing practices, in my opinion. In some instances, I was billed for a “conference" with other Partners, and “meetings” with Legal Assistants, and Paralegals, in the Firm. I did not retain/hire the other Partners or Associates, however, I was billed for their "meetings". Beware of hiring a Law Firm. I experienced financial pressure by BZBM. It was 2 weeks before the scheduled Hearing. They demanded two separate advance fee payments in the amount of $35k each, otherwise Marco Quazzo threatened to withdraw, from my case. At the time of this demand, I had a positive balance/credit with the Firm of approx $10k. Yet, Marco and BZBM demanded more money. Beware of Copy Fees. Beware, of “Block Billing”. This is the system the firm utilizes. If you are not familiar, ask for an explanation. Lastly, I submitted this Matter to the Bar Association Fee Dispute Program. There was an Award Ordered. It was not an amount that would justify the amount BZBM generated, in excessive fees. Beware of this Law Firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
