Efficient & frank - Highly recommended

David was excellent in handling our case with the ACS. He helped get us on the right track and got them off our backs. I would highly recommend David to anyone who has the ACS involved in their lives and to make sure that you have someone like him fighting your battles at the earliest possible opport...unity. He was always available via phone or email to provide advice and coordinate on our behalf. It was a massive relief after we hired David.

consultation regarding a child abuse case

Mr. Zaslavsky gave me a very thorough understanding of a child's rights and the process of working through the Administration of Child's Services. He took very seriously the legal implications of the case and gave me excellent advice while impressing upon me the urgency of taking action.

Professional

I came to Avvo seeking free consultation on an ACS case that I had been involved in. David Zaslavsky was one of the few lawyers that answered my question as thoroughly as possible. This prompted me to call him and seek further consultation. During our call, David took his time to explain to me in det...ail the following steps I needed to take in order to handle my case professionally. Because of his straight forward speech and willingness to meet with me for a free consultation, at my earliest convenience, I thoroughly considered hiring him as my attorney. After our meeting at his office, located in a very clean, secure building, I knew Mr. Zaslavsky and I would be able to work together. In hiring him I found a great attorney. Whenever I had a question regarding my case I could call, text, or email David and he would respond as soon as possible. Having never dealt with the court system or an ACS case, I was worried and stressed out but David did everything in his power to make sure that I understood the long process and laws involved with my case. He was never short with me and made special arrangements to meet with me without previous notice. His response time is astounding. Along with offering a reasonable price for his services, he also referred my family member to another fantastic attorney which he works closely with. While I was not satisfied with the finding of the case, I was extremely satisfied with Mr. Zaslavsky's professionalism, knowledge, experience, and skill. He is an excellent attorney and definitely worth hiring. I would recommend him to any and everyone and will be sure to advocate on his behalf on every website he is associated with.

Amazing Lawyer

My husband and I had an unwarranted ACS case and needed guidance. David explained how the system worked and what our rights were. Because of him ACS dropped all charges against us. Another reason why I would recommend him to anyone is that he was always readily available. He answered all of my ph...one calls and emails in a timely manner, extremely professional.
