Posted by Richard | April 06, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Horrible atorney

Probably the worst attorney I have ever had represent me, the misrepresentation and mistakes cost me thousands. It was all about billable hours from this firm. It took me over two years to get my divorce and finally I had to fire him so I could move my divorce along. All as I can say is stay clear!!...

Posted by Deepa | June 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

The Best Attorney!!!!

After past experiences with other attorney's, I learned that the truth alone is not enough to win in court, you need the right attorney to explain it to the judge and an aggressive one who can counter the opposing attorney in court, not just on paper or via mediation. Mr. Zaleski was amazing and repr...esented me very well. He got the results I needed, protecting my and my daughters interests. I am so lucky to have found him and will continue to use his services in the future. I highly recommend him.

"It is my pleasure to endorse Bob. I have had many matters with him over the years in which he and I have been adversaries. He is extremely competent, he is an extraordinarily good advocate on behalf of his clients, and he is highly ethical. I have also recommended Bob to serve as mediator in cases, and the parties are well served having him in that capacity. He is sensitive to their needs and works tirelessly towards bringing about a resolution."

Marriage and prenuptials lawyer | Jan 20

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Zaleski is by all means not just a very good lawyer but also a very humble, down to earth and a sympathetic human being. Coincidentally, Mr. Zaleski was my opposing counsel in one of the matrimonial cases I was handling and from beginning to end, his effort was in the direction of trying to get the matter resolved without having any of our respective clients incur unnecessary expenses after litigation. I endorse this lawyer because he is one of those very few lawyers who looks at the case from the perspective of the mutual benefit of both the parties yet making sure that his client's needs are addressed in an appropriate manner."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
