Professionalism at its pure finest

I honestly can't write enough to explain how exceptionally well Brynn was in my child custody case. She is the definition of a go getter and she went above and beyond with the short amount of time given. Not only did I notice how intelligent she was but I can honestly see she cares. I will continue t...o spread the word to any other wanting to take legal actions thru her. I respect her so much for our time and can not thank her enough. She will continue to have an amazing career in her field of work! Thank you

ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER!!!

Attorney Zawada went way beyond the extra mile. Not only did she successfully defend me but she also genuinely cared. I owe both her and her staff more than any fees could pay. I can't say enough how much I really and truly felt she cared about me and kept me informed as well as even following up on ...a completely different matter.

Great Lawyer, Great Results

I hired Attorney Zawada to handle my DCF and custody case. She was able to work with DCF to increase my parenting time with my child and ultimately got DCF to dismiss their case against me. I needed a lot of guidance on how to deal with DCF and she was always there to answer my questions and give me ...advice. I was so impressed with her skills and ability and willingness to spend the time to explain things to me, I hired her to handle my custody case against my ex. I have worked with lawyers in the past but Attorney Zawada is definitely the one I will be using in the future.

Child Custody

Ms. Zawada and her office proved invaluable to me during my child custody hearing. Any doubts I had regarding my complaint were allayed. Never have I had a better experience with a lawyer. She was very knowledgeable; Frequently answering any and all questions posed to her. Referred by a friend and wi...ll plan on using for any future . I would highly recommend attorney Zawada and her law office. Especially since I had a complicated child custody case to begin with, everything went as smoothly as possible. Next time I won't hesitate to call. Definitely worthwhile.

Official Mass Wallet Inspection Station

I used Mz Zawada in a child support matter. Her bill ran way past her retainer. There was never an accounting of what she did to deserve all those fees. Retainer was1000 and I was fine with that, but I never received any notice that the funds were running out. Next step.. And additional bill for 1300.... My case was continued, not because of her efforts but because I filed a motion in another state. I heard fr I'm Ms Zawada as the second date. I told her I could not afford her retainer and would be representing myself. I accomplished what I needed representing myself. Now I get a bill for another 800 . If you don't heed my advice, your wallet will look like mine... Empty. To top it off, she was more sympathetic to my ex wife than me. She said my current wife should go get a job . One thing she never bothered to ask.. My wife is disabled. In short .... If you want your wallet rifled through with no explanation , hire Ms Zawada. Very dissatisfied. Men Beware

I am sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. The description of this matter does not sound familiar. Our clients are required to sign Fee Agreements which outline the financial obligations of prospective clients. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case, and I welcome direct communication to discuss specific concerns.
