Jason Mizak helped us with a dispute we were having with one of our contractors, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. He did an amazing job at communicating all of our options, keeping up the communication chains when they were non-responsive, and finding a solution that worked for us within our budget. We are very grateful for all of his time and effort, and we would absolutely work with him again in the future.
I have to make sure I let EVERYONE know about an amazing attorney!!
God sent us Vince Pacetti and he worked many long hours, many long days, many years and didn't give up. He goes above and beyond for his clients, he pushes for justice, he pushes to make sure the does everything possible for you.
He is the best attorney I have ever EVER EVER came across!! So if you are in need of an attorney please call him right away don't call anyone else!!
Vincent is our old neighbors son and he was fantastic and we also currently use Blake and him and the secretary are wonderful (and I am picky as I worked for 25 years in a major law firm in Florida previously). Would highly recommend and has to many friends and family
I am being represented by him Pacetti
And I called and the receptionist made it sound like I could not talk to him and I had to give her the entire details on why I needed to talk to him when he is my attorney and I had to have an appointment just to talk to them on the phone usually when you have an attorney and you need to talk to them You leave a message they call you back they don’t ask you 1000 questions on why you need to talk to him
I hope I can give him a five star but see
I cannot recommend Blake Benson enough. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and was committed to providing me excellent support and guidance. He was prepared and thorough during the entire process. I will absolutely contact him in the future if I need a stand-up, hard-working attorney. Thank you Blake!
Mr. Mizak is extremely friendly and very professional. My wife and I were very comfortable having him represent us. I highly recommend Jason Mizak for legal matters!
Mr. Pacetti just represented my son looking at a 17yr. sentence End result was he got 2yrs. GREAT REPRESENTATION, VERY PROFESSIONAL, AFFORDABLE.. Great lawyer Highly Recommended!!! Couldn't be more blessed for his services.. Mr. Pacetti is the way to go.. OUTSTANDING JOB!!! Thank you again
Both attorneys at this law firm are excellent - professional, timely and compassionate. I have used their services numerous times over the past few years and have never been disappointed. I also find their office staff to be knowledgeable and polite. Highly recommend!
We have had the opportunity to use Vince's services and both times he surpassed our expectations. Whether by text or by phone, Vince kept the communication channels open. You won't go wrong! Highly recommended!
Vince Pacetti was very reliable, honest, upfront and knowledgeable. Yes he is busy, but always made sure I got the answers I needed and was very patient. Highly recommend him and Jason for your legal needs.
Sat down and talked about a case involving my sisters kids. Was told that they were going to gather some information and contact me within a couple of days with a plan of action. It’s now been a month. I have emailed a couple of times and called and haven’t heard anything back. Cases involving kids should be high on the priority list. I live out of state so it’s not that easy for me to come up to talk in person and that’s what I did. Very disappointed that I have not heard anything back.
The team as a whole really did go above and beyond for my family and ensuring the best interest of my children. Brian Evans is a shark. Don't let the young look fool you, he embarrassed my ex-wifes attorney. Highly recommend this team as they got me exactly what I wanted out of the divorce and made it look easy.
Not a happy customer, feel like one lawyer brushed me off onto his partner and charged more than we spoke about in office so they could discuss case and charge more to the customer. Only had one contact with lawyer handling my case. I knew my case was not a slam dunk but I feel like they didn't care. I would never go back here because I feel like I was not taken care of my best interest as the client was not seen as such. My first time dealing with a lawyer and not the experience that I would recommend to anyone else.
Mizak & Pacetti is a family-owned law firm where the attorneys don't just work in Parma, they live here. When people ask who the best lawyer in Parma is, they are usually looking for someone local, accessible, and trustworthy. Someone who returns calls, explains the process clearly, and stays involved from start to finish.
We provide hands-on legal representation for personal injury, criminal and traffic defense, divorce and custody, estate planning, business law, and cybersecurity and data protection matters. Our approach is practical, direct, and client-focused, not volume-driven or transactional.
Most of our work comes from referrals, not advertising. That trust has been earned case by case and neighbor by neighbor, and it's why so many Parma residents and small business owners turn to Mizak & Pacetti when the stakes are real.
Honored to serve Parma, Parma Heights, Cleveland, Seven Hills, Broadview Heights, Brecksville, Independence, North Royalton, Brooklyn Heights, and the surrounding areas.
Q: I've got a few different legal things going on. Do I have to hire separate lawyers, or can one firm handle all of it?
A: That is common for Parma families and small businesses, and juggling several firms can be frustrating. Mizak & Pacetti is a full-service Parma law firm covering personal injury, criminal and traffic defense, divorce and custody, wills and trusts, probate, business law, and cybersecurity and data privacy. In many cases one firm can handle more than one matter under one roof, so you are not re-explaining your situation to a new firm each time. Which matters fit depends on the details, and the firm can walk you through that at the start.
Q: When I call, am I actually going to talk to a lawyer, or get passed around to staff?
A: Many Parma clients have been bounced between call centers before, so this is a fair question. At Mizak & Pacetti, experienced legal professionals handle your matter from the first call, with no handoffs to an outside intake team. The attorneys live in the Parma community, and the firm is not a high-volume advertising operation. Mizak & Pacetti's Google reviews describe its lawyers as professional and responsive and its office staff as knowledgeable and polite.
Q: Do I really need a Parma lawyer, or should I just go with a big firm downtown?
A: Many South Suburbs residents assume a serious matter needs a big downtown Cleveland firm. Mizak & Pacetti is a Parma firm whose attorneys live in the community and appear in Parma Municipal Court and Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. For many local matters, that local experience may matter as much as the size of the firm. The right choice depends on the case, and Mizak & Pacetti can explain whether it is a good fit.
Q: How much does it cost to work with a lawyer here?
A: Cost is a fair concern for any Parma family or business, and the honest answer depends on the type of matter. A traffic ticket, a will, a divorce, and a business dispute involve very different amounts of work. Mizak & Pacetti can explain how a specific matter would be handled and billed before any work begins. Comparing what is included matters as much as comparing price.
Q: Which courts do you actually handle cases in?
A: Parma clients often want to know where their case will be heard. Mizak & Pacetti handles matters in Parma Municipal Court, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court, and Cuyahoga County Probate Court. Depending on the matter, an attorney who already knows local court procedures can be a practical help. The court for each case depends on the type of matter and where it arose.
Q: Who are the attorneys, and who would handle my type of case?
A: Parma clients usually want to know who they will be working with. Founding partner Jason B. Mizak focuses on wills, trusts, estate planning, probate, and business law. Partner Vincent Pacetti, a former Cuyahoga County prosecutor, handles criminal and traffic defense, divorce, and personal injury, and attorney James Kashien also handles criminal defense. Attorney Tony J. Miranda handles cybersecurity and data privacy, and Mizak & Pacetti matches each matter to the attorney whose practice fits it.
Q: What areas do you cover? I'm not technically in Parma.
A: Many clients live just outside Parma city limits, and that is not a problem. Mizak & Pacetti serves Parma, Parma Heights, Cleveland, Seven Hills, Broadview Heights, Brecksville, Independence, North Royalton, and Brooklyn Heights. The attorneys live in the community and know the local courts. Whether a specific matter fits depends on the case and the court where it would be heard.
Q: What's actually different about this firm compared to the lawyers I see advertising everywhere?
A: It is a fair question when Parma ads all seem to make similar promises. Mizak & Pacetti's attorneys live in the Parma community, and clients work with experienced legal professionals with no handoffs, rather than being run through a high-volume pipeline. The firm also brings several practice areas and a former Cuyahoga County prosecutor under one roof. The focus is practical, straightforward guidance and realistic expectations, without pressure or exaggerated promises.
A family-owned law firm serving Parma and the surrounding communities. Experienced legal professionals handling cases for individuals, families, and businesses across Ohio.
