Family Custody

I found Ron through reviews when searching for representation for a custody case of my daughter. Ronald was professional, proficient and efficient. We were moving out of state and everything was handled with great efficiency and timing. The whole team was very receptive and understanding to our needs.... I highly recommend Ronald.

Outstanding Attorney

I cannot say enough about Rons professional ability. My case was a modification of alimony. As soon as he heard details of my case he said he believed I had a good one. In fact he had just won a similar case. So he went to work. At his recommendation, we hired a forensic accountant which was a g...reat idea, so that Ron could focus on the law and the accountant could crunch the numbers!! We ended up going to trial, and his preparation and delivery was amazing. He methodically delivered the facts of the case. His exams of all witnesses were incredible. All along he worked to keep me calm and confident. His paralegal Jamie was so understanding and patient with me during the whole process. So bottom line, alimony was "modified " to zero!!! After negotiation with opposing counsel I didnt have to pay opposing counsel legal fees. And finally I could sleep at night because he negotiated that there would be no appeal. His outcome was 3 for 3 in decisions and negotiations. Thus I give Ron my highest recommendation. Let him review your case. Thanks Ron

Best family law attorney!!!

I could not have been more happy than having Ron Zakarin represent me in my modification of the alimony case. Compared to the other side’s attorney, Ron was much more prepared and was able to cite current and relevant cases to support my case. Ron really took his time listening to me and studyi...ng ways in which best to represent me and win the case. Ron was professional and respectful in the court. Modification of alimony cases, and any alimony case, take a great deal of planning and consideration. Ron won my case. It’s Ron’s nature to be competitive and to win which was my goal as well. I could not have picked a better attorney to represent me! THANK YOU, RON!

Hire Ron Zakarin if you want to win your case

I was married for 16 years. Im sure i dont need to explain to anyone how situations change, kids grow up and leave home, and people can grow in different directions and drift away from each other. This happened to me and my spouse, so divorce was next on the menu for us. After 8 years of being divor...ced and paying alimony, my financial situation to a big step backwards. Enter Ron Zakarin. I met with him and explained what was going on in my professional life. He listened, took notes, and then gave me an honest evaluation of what i could, and should expect in court. Things played out exactly as he said they would during the 1 1/2 days that I was in court. I got a huge reduction in my monthly alimony obligation, and a very large reduction on a life insurance policy that I am required to maintain. I didnt know Ron (or any other attorneys) 2 years ago. A friend of a friend made a recommendation for me. My financial life was literally on the line, and to be honest, I was a little frightened of using a lawyer that I didnt know. Thank goodness that I picked someone that knows how to win. Ron acted as both a shield, and a sword. He knew when to play defense, and when to step on the gas and play offense. He truly knows how to get things done. Hire Ron Zakarin if you want to win your case.

Honest, Sincere & Trustworthy Lawyer

A year ago a close friend recommended I contact Ronald Zakarin following a serious personal injury. I am so glad I took her advice. In all candor, I've found Ron exceptional. Aside from being intelligent, pro-active and focused, he is honest, direct and supportive. I went through an extremely diffic...ult time and having Ron in my corner made a huge difference. I felt protected, and I still do knowing that he genuinely cares about his clients and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Ron's services to anyone looking for efficiency, integrity and humanity.
