Superior representative

We found Drew because another lawyer told us he was good at taking cases that are unusual. That he knows how to fight these cases that nobody else wanted to take. Drew was straight forward with our case and the costs involved during our consult. Drew is straight forward no sugar coating the situati...on. I appreciated this because I knew he was authentic. We had to put in work but Drew told us if we did some things on our own it would save us a lot of money. It also helped us in remembering some details that we may have forgotten. Drew is intelligent and at times I felt dumb not understanding him but not to worry he would break things down in layman’s terms until we got it. At times I was unsure of communication as he wouldn’t answer emails as often as I would have liked but he is a busy attorney and this didn’t stop him from knowing all the details of the case and looking up laws to fight it. Drew knows his stuff! He was determined to win this case by using his knowledge and knowing the law. I was amazed watching him represent me so well. Literally couldn’t have found a better lawyer. We are grateful we found Drew. If you are searching for the right attorney for you, look no further. Drew is the best. Oh and we won!

Mother, Grandmother & Senior Citizen

I cannot express enough my thankfulness for Andrew Mazzeo. He gave me my life back. He helped me fight a guardianship that was fraudulently brought upon me by my family. My rights were taken away plus my money. I contacted Andrew Mazzeo’s office asking for help to fight the guardianship. He met with... me and gave me hope. We discussed different options. Andrew is a very good listener and he understands constitutional law very well. He is here to protect individuals from being taken advantage of, as I was. Andrew advocated for me in an excellent manner. The judge vacated the order. Now I am free. Thank God! Thank you, Andrew.

A Blessing in our lives

On July 3, 2017, I received a much unsuspected phone call from my ex-sister-in-law, informing me that my daughter’s biological father had passed away in Nov 2016. She informed us that some neighbor had gone in and was able to become the personal representative to his estate, he died without a will. T...he last time my daughter had contact with her father was when she was 6 years old, 42 years ago. We both tried for years to find him. Needless to say we were not only sad but trying to get my daughter to be able to have control of his estate since she was his only child. We contacted Drew and he got right on it. His was able to remove the PR and have my daughter placed as the Personal Representative after a long fight with that woman. Even on the last court appearance she refused to accept that my daughter was his daughter and rightful heir. Drew made it very easy for us to deal with all of this, especially since we were on the other side of Washington State. His Paralegal Stacia Smith kept us informed at all times. They were such a great team to work with. We would highly recommend Drew Mazzeo for any Probate issues. Being new at this, they were both very considerate of our emotions and answered a lot of questions. We are so grateful for having met Drew and Stacia, both being there to guide us and achieve a very successful outcome.

Attention to Detail

Dealing with horrible tenants in Washington state can be one of the most challenging problems for landlords. Drew performed flawlessly and obtained the results I was hoping for. My tenant had no intention of leaving. Drew worked with their lawyer to get them out in a fair amount of time. He provided ...the type of service you would expect from a seasoned lawyer many times his senior. I can't say enough about his professionalism and attention to detail. Jesse C
