Very strong

David Zavlavsky is a hard—working and knowledgeable attorney that helped me handle my custody case. He fights very hard to have your back and doesn’t waste time. I was lucky to have someone who knows family law very well.

Client Experience

The worst thing you can do is choose inadequate legal representation.. The attorney, David was very knowledgeable and available. He always maintained communication either through phone, email, or with his team of assistants. He answered all my questions and provided me with clear, concise answers. He... fought and represented me like a true professional, showing his 22+ years of experience. I can honestly say that he was worth every penny, and I will continue to use him for my legal affairs.

5 stars

David Zaslavsky was a wonderful attorney to me in a very stressful time.  He helped me with an order of protection case, and he was great at explaining all of my options in a clear and concise manner.  David was very professional, and was committed to acting in my best interest throughout my case and... as new events unfolded.  Would highly recommend.

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.

Posted by Beau | December 13, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody Battle

With Mr. Zaslavsky, you know exactly what and who you get. He is one of the most upfront, honest and transparent attorneys I have ever had on my side. The saying is true you get what you pay for with this gentleman. Not only did he listen to me, but he understood where I was coming from and always un...derstood what was in the nest interest for my child, if it was not for him and his presence that he has while in the court I would never had won custody of my son. Thank you David, and I will always use him for any and all future cases and would recommend anyone else to do the same!!

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.
