Mr. Nazzaro is a God send and. Blessing to San Mateo County

"From the moment I contacted Mr. Nazzaro, he treated me with the utmost respect and with an unbiased perspective that I have rarely experienced within the legal system. I retained him as my lawyer for a possession charge out of San Mateo County. Due to his diligence and the countless hours he dedicat...ed to the investigation, the case was dismissed – which we all know would not have been the outcome without his efforts. Without him, I would likely be facing a very different situation right now. I highly recommend him."

Good person. Great Lawyer.

Mr. Nazzaro demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout my son's legal process. His consistent availability, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge were invaluable assets, ultimately enabling us to achieve the best possible outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Nazzaro to any...one seeking legal representation.

A best attorney

Mr. Nazzaro is a very rare and good person. As a lawyer, his professionalism and experience are of course paramount and valuable. There is no doubt about this. What I especially recommend is: He is a good person. Maybe you will laugh at me. What is a good person? He has a kind, big and clean heart. ...First of all, he makes his clients trust him 100% and trust the law, rather than fear and conceal self or something. He took the trouble to explain every detail, be patient all the time, and give 100% trust and support to his clients . You will feel that a best friend stands with you to get through the difficulties time. He won't tell you very high-end and obscure professional vocabulary, and all you hear is "It doesn't matter, don't worry..."I believe that a good lawyer, not just helping his clients' cases, he is using his personality charm to help his clients reshape themselves and be a good person. Thanks Mr. Nazzaro.

Absolutely Stellar Attorney that Delivers

It was an amazing experience having David help me with my traffic case. He was short, succinct but provided great advice on the next steps during our initial consultation. This was a stark contrast to the other attorneys I spoke with, who did not want to take the time to understand my case. I had us...ed online traffic lawyers prior to engaging David but David's experience and expertise in the area was unmatched. It was clear from the start that David had an in depth understanding of how the courts functioned and how to tailor the resolution to my case. On his advice, I received one of the best possible outcomes for my case - being able to take traffic school instead of a suspension.

Thank you.

Thank you David for helping me navigate through a difficult situation I am in. It’s hard to know where to start when you live in another state. Your free advice was helpful and appreciated.

"David Nazzaro provides many thoughtful answers on the pages of Avvo, and I am grateful for his service to the community and legal profession. It particularly impresses me that David offers such clear, practical input in the landlord - tenant arena, which is not one of his specialty practice areas. Check out his succinct guide to security deposit issues, a model of clarity and common sense: https://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/california-security-deposit."

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.
