I would highly recommend Mr. Lazar to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate and sympathetic attorney. He was attentive and patient with me through a very difficult and stressful time and I truly felt like I was cared about and in capable hands during that time. Mr. Lazar demonstrates professionalism, ethical practices and complete capability as a family law attorney.
