Highly Experienced and Professional Attorney

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 pro...fessionalism, ethical practices and complete capability as a family law attorney.

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.
