Every day i see good hard working americans strrugle to pay there bills. these are not fancy cars and excessive items but rather simple things like car payments , taxes and medical bills. At my law firm when you come in the first question is how can i help not this is what it will cost.  Call, our consultations are allways free and with an actual attorney.

The best
Have had no issues with him, not only with Case wise also Fee wise. Very much affordable and work with your Case personally. I went through many prior lawyers. No one as good as him.

A Consumate Professional
I found Mr. Zalewski through a friend of mine. I found Mr. Zalewski to be very knowledgeable about landlord/tenant disputes. He was able to cite numerous cases that would support my pending litigation against my landlord. After my initial consultation with him, I went online and looked up the cases he had quoted and I was very surprised to find that everything he had just told me, off the top of his head, was there in black and white.

This guy is a hack!
Terrible attorney! He was assigned as my 18b for a family court matter and did not appear twice for my appearances! He never returned any of my calls, I don't think he even knew that he was appointed to represent me. When I was finally able to get in contact with him, he had the audacity to accuse me of doing drugs! Unbelievable. Do Not Hire This Man! He does not care about his clients.
