Child support attorney

Mr. Zaslavsky at The Law Office of David Zaslavsky was my attorney in Child Support case. I’m glad I had him as my attorney. He really listened to what I wanted and answered all my questions. I ended up in getting what I was looking for because I hired him.

We are grateful and finally at peace

David has helped me though many cases. He stood by my side for Paternity, Child Support, Contempt of Child Support, Fails ACS allegations, custody with visitation and grandparent’s visitation. He was set out of the best interested of my child. He told me when I was asking for too much and he told me ...when I needed to fight. He was right! He stood up and fought for us even when I felt I could not take any more, he was right there. I got everything I requested. I hate to use the word “won but he “won”. I could not ask for a better attorney and I’m so glad it is now over. He was always truthful and that’s what I loved about David. I would not be where I’m now with my family if it was not for him. We are grateful and finally at peace.

Excellent Attorney

I hired David as my attorney when it seems that my time as a parent was being turned upside down and he was able to right the ship. David assisted me in getting my child support case completed in a timely fashion. He also lead the charge in allowing me to get joint-shared custody of my child. In you... are in need of a knowledgeable attorney that is willing to take on your fight and ease you mind with regards to custody of your child(ren), David is the guy for you.

Child support modification

I hired David Zaslavsky to assist me in modifying my child support. David and his staff were knowledgeable in what I needed done and explained everything that I needed to accomplish this. They always made sure I understood what was needed and always answered all questions promptly. I just wish I used... them for my original divorce.

THE BEST DIVORCE/ CHILD CUSTODY/ FAMILY COURT ATTORNEY YOU WILL FIND

My case was extremely unique. I hadn’t seen my daughter in months. I had a very bad attorney prior to meeting David. After hiring David, and having him tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear, and assuring me that everything would be ok, boy o boy did he do the job. i was able to get... my daughter after a few short months, and was told from the courts I would be getting sleep overs by the next court date. He also told me that I was over paying child support. I’ve had consultations with other divorce lawyers who read over my divorce and told me everything was fine. When David read it, he immediately told me that I had a big issue, showed me the issue, and fixed the problem. There was one court date in which he couldn’t make it, because the courts made a mistake with the time. David called in and represented me from the phone! In my opinion, he is THE BEST FAMILY COURT ATTORNEY THAT YOU WILL HIRE! HANDS DOWN

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.
