I wanted to share my experience with the law firm of Mager Parúas.  My story begins back in 2020 when I was presented with an opportunity that, at the time, seemed like a viable extra stream of income for myself and my family.  I took the necessary financial steps to get my new business off the ground.  I soon found myself in the middle of what felt like a big scam.  Like the saying goes, “if something sounds too good to be true it usually is.”

Fast forward to 2022, when I thought all was lost and I would never see my financial investment returned, the superhero team of Mager Parúas came in and saved the day! A friend of mine knew what I was going through with this business investment and how heavily it was weighing on myself and my family, both mentally and financially.  He said to me, “I know of this great law firm with a great team of attorneys that I know can help you.” The sign on their office building states they are ADVOCATES FOR JUSTICE, and in the end that is exactly the outcome that I received. JUSTICE.

When I first called the firm, I was not even sure if I had a case or if they would even entertain a situation like mine.  I was pleasantly surprised when I was put right on the phone with Scott Mager, who is the founding partner of the firm.  He carefully listened to my situation, asking all the pertinent questions, and after about 5 minutes on the phone he said, “I think we can definitely help you out.” When I heard those words, a calmness came over me and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.  This was the first moment of clarity and ease I had in over 2 years since first dealing with this situation.  Scott asked me to come into the office for a meeting to discuss my case in more detail.  When I arrived for that meeting, I did not know what to expect as this was all new to me.  I was welcomed in such a way that I knew I was in the right place with the right team that was going to help me.

I sat with Scott for over an hour discussing my entire situation. He then brought in attorney Doug Lazzaro who would be handling my case.  Just as Scott did, Doug put my mind at ease, and after listening to the details of my case was immediately ready to get to work and seek justice on my behalf.

I never had to deal with anything like this before, so these were uncharted waters for me.  Doug was there every step of the way.  He always had time for my phone calls, answered every question that I had (which there were many), and always kept me informed of the progress and steps involved in my case.  There was never a time in this entire 3-year process that I felt left out of any information or updates.  Doug always spoke to me in a way in which I would understand the legal jargon and made sure that I was kept abreast of all proceedings, filings, and any updates in my case.  This was not an easy process for me, but Doug made it as easy as he could for me and always reassured me that things were going to be alright in the end.  He worked tirelessly for 3 years and, in the end, got me a very favorable judgement in my case.

I would be remiss if I also didn’t mention Florida Registered Paralegal Patty Creech, who was right there alongside Doug fighting for justice in my case.  She too kept me in the loop with the progress of my case and made sure to always put my mind at ease.  She always took my calls and answered my questions.  One thing that she would always tell me is “you are family, and we always fight for our family.” That is exactly what they did.

The law firm of Mager Parúas are true superheroes in my eyes and I am sure in the eyes of all of the clients they tirelessly represent fighting for justice, no matter how big or small the case may be.

Scott, Doug, Patty, and the entire team of Mager Parúas – I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me, how you made me feel, and the justice you got for me in the end.  You all live up to your motto and are true ADVOCATES FOR JUSTICE!!!
