Andrew Mazzeo, Appeals Attorney
Relationship: Co-worker
I have worked with Tom for a couple years. He has decades of experience and is vastly knowledgeable, methodical, capable, and under-priced. His estate planning, business, contract, and all other legal documents are clear, concise, and plainly understandable to the point of being, arguably, the best there is available in Washington State. Every provision added is thought of, or added, by him for a reason (no re-selling of boilerplate), and you can be confident they will accomplish what you intend, and if challenged prevail in court.
