What recent reviews say

Bill LaLima and his team earn consistent praise for sharp legal knowledge and genuine client care. Repeat clients value his responsiveness, honesty about case outcomes, and willingness to work cases regardless of ability to pay. Staff members like Lynsey and Joe Catalano receive specific mention for professionalism.

Setzler & Scott delivers solid results on real estate closings, where clients praise professionalism and availability. Estate work draws sharp criticism: multiple reviewers report years-long delays, ignored calls, and unresolved probate matters, particularly under attorney Joseph Vasquez.

Reviews are sparse and dated. Two five-star entries describe the firm as "good people," but specifics about services or outcomes are absent. Evidence is too thin to draw firm conclusions about the firm's foreclosure defense, real estate, or consumer protection work.
