Great Lawyer, very informative and hard working!

I was in a really tough spot when Steve arrived in my life, not only was I in legal trouble but I was also having problems at home with the family. Obviously with so much hanging over my head, work was no breeze either. Steve was able to satisfy all of my legal needs in a very thorough and expediant ...manner all the while keeping me informed. In return I was able to concentrate on home life and work, and within a very short time my life was back to normal. Thanks Steve and to everyone that is considering using his services, be confident you will get the best help out there!!!!!

Mr. Bulzomi is an excellent civil practice attorney.

Mr. Bulzomi represented me in several civil cases in the 1990's. He was thorough, consistent and knew the law well. I always felt that my cases were in very good hands with Mr. Bulzomi and his staff. If I had not relocated to Georgia I would have continued to use the services of this excellent att...orney.

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.
