Ye Be Warned

https://claudiajoyzucker.com/ If you subject your child to the likes of this pariah, you will regret it for the rest of your life… Above is the downloadable, original transcript of the Ms. Zucker's impeachment before the Virginia State Bar Association- for "Lack of Candor" in her representation...s to the U.S. Department of Justice- Executive Office of Immigration Review.

Satisfied client

Claudia was recommended to me by another attorney (friend) who was familiar with her skills and abilities as a family law attorney. Claudia was retained to modify a custody and child support order previously entered during a very contentious divorce. Claudia was very efficient and was a guardian of m...y rights as a father. She was always accessible and on the rare occasions that I had to leave a message, Claudia was prompt in returning my calls. Claudia was fair and transparent in the billing process and did not do things that many other lawyers would have done just to generate revenue. Claudia was with me every step of the process and always considered the future consequences of any actions taken. I have and will continue to recommend Claudia.

Thank God for Claudia!!!

I could not have gone through my divorce proceedings without the stern and deliberate support of Claudia Zucker. She is tough but fair and that's what I needed because I knew what I was about to face. She is realistic and very matter of fact but I learned that it was not a soul sister that I needed b...ut yet a pit bull who was ready to defend me at all cost and without any apologies. I recommend Claudia to anyone who is looking for someone who knows military law because it is vital when you are the service person or going up against one. I will forever be grateful for the tools I learned from my attorney. I walked into her office a timid, naive military spouse and soon to be divorcee and walked out a confident, self aware and respectable woman and mother. This attorney is a force to be reckoned with!!!

If you want to win and an Aggressive and knowledgeable attorney, then Claudia is the one.

I was fortunate to find Claudia while looking for lawyers to help me with my complicated custody case. Called and scheduled a meeting with Claudia and from day one, she was fighting for me as though she was fighting for her own child. After an almost 2 year litigation, Claudia made sure I walked aw...ay with full custody. She stood by me through Juvenile Court and then through Circuit Court. I am a grateful father and thankful to Claudia for reuniting me with my daughter.

Claudia Zucker: Do Not Use

This is a suggestion to look for other counsel instead of retaining Ms. Claudia Zucker, an attorney in northern Virginia. In her own words, she is now "too busy to work on your case", so unless you are her primary priority (not determined by her existing caseload, it seems - she readily takes new ca...ses) she doesn't have the bandwidth to help you. You will also know she doesn't have time for you when the opposing attorney sends her an email advising if they don't receive a response in a timely fashion they will file for a court judgment instead of filing the agreement the other party has already signed and forwarded for consideration. She will forward the attorney's email to you 1 month after she receives it. But, she'll neglect to also send the email containing the signed agreement, so you won't be able to take action. She'll suggest you "meet in person" with her, but won't identify a suitable time for an appointment. She will also stop answering your calls, texts, and emails...all the while the opposing party wants to collect legal fees associated for the untimely delay. Strongly suggest you save time, money and frustration and look elsewhere.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Public Reprimand issued in VA, 2009

updated on 09/25/2017

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Claudia’s comment:

“This issue did not even involve a client issue. I helped a client fight the Immigration Service by bringing U.S. Senator with me to help fight the injustice done to them by the Immigration Service. In retaliation, an attorney for the government set me up who knew I was confused about a prior issue, and took advantage of the situation in retaliation for having a U.S. Senator tell the government they were wrong!”
