Dismissive, Unethical, and Proud of It

Tara is the kind of lawyer landlords dream of: someone who can look directly at an unlivable, unsafe apartment — where the windows don’t open and the temperature regularly hits 95°F — and say, with a straight face, “That’s the tenant’s responsibility.” She responded to my concerns about heat-relat...ed health risks, blocked ventilation, and zero feasible cooling options with dismissive legal jargon and a “feel free to move out” attitude. No empathy, no solutions — just the cold, calculated logic of someone paid to protect the bottom line at all costs. Tara made it clear she has no interest in human rights, habitability standards, or ethical responsibility. If you’re a tenant expecting fair treatment or even basic decency, you won’t find it here. Just another legal shield for a property management company that doesn’t care who gets hurt, as long as the checks clear. Don't expect even a slight amount of empathy from her.

Snarky and unprofessional

I found Tara Costanzo to quite rude and unprofessional when we had are consultation. She was very disrespectful of my mother and youngest sister. Seemed to me she has a problem with power dynamics. She wanted to be clear she was the alpha in the room. She was very short and snarky. In typical lawyer ...fashion, she first acted very bubbly and accommodating. While later showing her true colors after we had met and her time clock was running. With an attitude like that she should be working at Starbucks NOT at a law firm.
