I came to her during a difficult time and needed clear, honest guidance. She was incredibly responsive and took the time to do a thorough review of my situation and the employment contracts and agreements I sent over prior to our meeting. She asked thoughtful questions, walked through the details, and helped me understand my options. I got strong expertise, relatable examples and not just generic legal advice. What stood out was how she was helpful after the meeting. She followed up with clear emails, practical advice, helpful next steps, and made herself available when additional questions came up. If you're dealing with an employment issue and want someone who is sharp, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping empower you with the knowledge you need to navigate your situation well, I'd highly recommend Laura. If a situation arises in the future where I need advice again, I know where to find it.

I worked with Laura Mazza for a contract review and had an excellent experience. Immediately after…read moreour initial call, she sent a concise roadmap that clarified my options and how we'd proceed. Over the following weeks, Laura remained fast to reply, thorough in her explanations, and patient through each revision--never rushing, never losing focus, and always advocating for my interests. Just as important, her fee was fair and transparent; she didn't try to add unnecessary work or push me toward higher costs. Thanks to her steady, strategic approach, we finalized a stronger agreement, and I felt fully supported from start to finish. Strongly recommend!

We approached this attorney in order to: 1. Consult about a…read morecomplex Landlord - Tenant issue and to gain insight as to how to proceed. 2. Spend extensive time briefing the attorney (At hourly rate $$$) for preliminary familiarity with our situation so that he would be able to act at the when required. As for the first item, some of the advice provided was useful. However it appeared from these discussions that he lacks sufficient experience in more complex matters. He did agree that because he was now familiar with the case (At cost by the hour $$$) he would be ready when I called to proceed. When I contacted him two weeks later, and at the expected time line, made an excuse to avoid proceeding, after taking our money and time. These are the situations where it is easy to question why attorneys charge so much for so little in return.

First time I saw him thru Lawyer referral services. Very attentive and knowledgable, and kind. Kind…read moregoes a long way with me. But a lawyer needs to know also what they are doing. Was the head of the local Bar association, so that is a plus. Helped me with a grave case during the pandemic; I was unable to dump some lunatic tenants. You are a lunatic if the rent is low with a good maintained home, and you allow your five dogs to crap up the whole territory for five months at a time and expect and imagine other tenants want to step and smell the stench. Lunacy. As she was going nutty on me, her spit got on my face which then was the opportunity to kick her out on her butt. Sheriff want to fly up my mountain to cite her. I did not want that on her record. Now I have a more grave issue with a section 8 man on SSI and who bangs on the shared wall terrifying single mother and youth, and shouting outside like another lunatic I have to deal with. Attacked me verbally for enforcing pulling weeds as mentioned in lease. If he hears tiny dogs bark for even a few minutes, he is out in the garden bellowing. He came from a monastery and thinks ordinary family noise are intolerable and wants total silence. But the funnest part is this tenant insists on paying cash in a mail box down the road where it gets stolen ALL THE TIME, and I never use, and somehow wants me to go up and down the road on rent day until he is in the mood to deliver the rent. Go pray elsewhere and stop terrorizing women and children. But apparently you can only use the lawyer referral system only once. I usually can terminate on my own unless the person has violent and aggression issues, then I do need a lawyer. I will serve and see how he responds without a lawyer as I cannot afford one. I have stalled since May, but now that he has involved pounding on a wall where youth live, my foot will be arriving at his bottom soon so the kids can calm down and live in a safe home and I can work on my land to make it firewise, without the threat of this man exploding on me. I hide now in my home, and it angers me as I am also semi bed ridden for 30 years, a adult orphan, as we are called, for this tenant to refuse to go, when he is causing chaos as he prays to his god. But if I did have money; this lawyer would be my choice.
