Lazan David M

I have had the pleasure of working with David Lazan on a variety of personal and professional matters over the past 9 years. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable and responsive and has always guided me through the legal process in an easily digestible way. David is a professional, but he is also personable, caring and easy to work with. He initially came highly recommended through numerous sources when I was undergoing a real estate transaction in 2010, and I have turned to him countless times since for all of my legal matters. David is trustworthy and smart and he surrounds himself with other capable people. His colleagues and office staff are like-minded. In all of my interactions with David and his office, I have felt as though I am his priority. His fees are more than reasonable and he is generous with his time and knowledge. David has my highest endorsement.

I would not recommend David Lazan services to anyone. He was my attorney whom I hired for closing on my property in Egremont in January of 2017. I was a seller. He sent me his fee agreement and it was $1500. The attorney from entryonly web site (they were my brokers) offered me flat fee $750, but I thought keeping money for local businesses in the Berkshires is a good thing. Big mistake. My closing was delayed two times (buyers had issue with the mortgage) and the closing date was delayed twice. He essentially changed the closing date on the contract twice. This resulted my final bill to be $2700. It is $1200 overcharge!!! He did offer very little explanation and had no itemized bill at the closing and was surprised when I hard-questioned him. Honestly, I was not impressed with his work as well. Very poor communications, unprofessional, confused office help. He is a perfect example of why attorney's tend to have a bad rep. Moving forward I used services of Gail Garret who is far more professional and less expensive.
