"I strongly recommend"

My mom passed away in a horrible car accident back in June. I was distraught and overwhelmed, not knowing where to start. I decided to hire consult an attorney to handle the insurance and legal aspects of the accident. From the moment I talked with Mark Venardi and Christina Souza, I felt comfortable and confident that they would not only do their best to get the best possible outcome, but to also take some of the stress off of me. Christina always responded back in a timely manner, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Any questions I had were answered clearly. Mark and Christina made sure they explored all possible avenues. I am so grateful for their dedication on the case, the compassion they showed and excellent communication. I strongly recommend Mark Venardi and Christina Sousa as a personal injury attorney.

"Compassionate, Professional, and Trustworthy"

From my first point of contact to my case’s resolution, I felt well cared for. I worked mostly with Martin Zurada and Estis Trampetti; however, everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and highly competent. Martin Zurada is a fine attorney. I felt he really cared about me as a person. His compassion stood out, but so did his intelligence, responsiveness, and generosity with his time. I felt the same way about Estis. She was extremely efficient and always pleasant to deal with. It seems like these days it’s rare to find professionals so trustworthy, but you’ll definitely find that with VZ law firm. I recommend them without reservation if you ever need them.

"I highly recommend"

I highly recommend Martin Zurada as an attorney. He was referred to me by a family friend. I’m so happy she encouraged me to hire him. I was so pleased with his work! I believe his attention to detail, communication skills, work ethic, guidance, and many years of expertise helped me win the case!! It was stressful going into the intense proceedings, but having Martin on my side helped ease my mind. He and his team offered impeccable service in the office, on the phone, and super responsive even on email. I felt that he cared and went all in to fight for me. I did not feel alone in this difficult time. I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do I will call on Venardi Zurada again. Thanks, Martin!
