Excellent Attorney

Mr Sczesny recently handled a parentage/custody case for us. He was very informative and helpful during this very stressful process. He was always quick to respond to any calls, text or emails answering whatever questions we had. He was very knowledgeable about the process & straight forward with ...us as to what to expect. With his guidance & expertise we were able to take the necessary steps for my son to be awarded custody. I would definitely recommend him and he would be my first call if the need arises again.

Top Notch Lawyer!!

I can't say enough about how knowledgeable, professional, and personable Dan Sczesny is as a divorce lawyer. He was always available for any questions or concerns I had whether it be over Text, Phone, e-mail, or even in person. My case was not anything out of the ordinary but Dan faught to make sure ...my rights as a father were preserved, and my wishes for support were heard. I am very pleased with the outcome of my divorce, and most importantly, how little it cost me in the end. I do realize all cases are different, but for what Dan charges, and what you get in a lawyer, there is NO better deal in town!

Fantastic!

I had Dan represent me in my divorce case, I was married for 17 years and have 3 young children so I certainly had lots of questions and concerns. Dan was excellent in quickly and concisely answering all my questions, describing the best courses of action as well as other possibilities/outcomes of t...hose decisions. Dan was able to answer all of my questions immediately, he definitely demonstrated that he knew exactly what to do and how to get it done. Dan's abilities, experience and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable and confident in what I was doing and how it was being done. I was also very pleased with the availability and response time from Dan. All of my phone calls and emails were very promptly answered by him and whenever I needed his help I was always able to reach him or even stop by the office. Dan was also fantastic with providing me very timely copies of documentation involving the case in either email or hard copy format. I had everything from day 1 when we started to the very end, nothing was missed. It was very nice to have it at my fingertips so whenever I got nervous I could pull it back up and re-read anything at any time. Overall I was totally satisfied with Dan's performance and direction in my case. I firmly believe that with Dan's help my case was resolved well beyond what I thought possible. I would absolutely recommend Dan, his service in my case was fantastic.

Great results with a compassionate attorney!

Mr. Sczensy assisted and represented me in the recent dissolution of my marriage. At a time when I was most vulnerable, Mr. Sczensy advocated and ensured that I received what was in the best interest of both me and my son. He was compassionate in his dealings with me and the situations surrounding... the end of my marriage which were (and still are) a source of pain in my life. Dan was efficient and quick to respond to my inquiries, knowledgeable in the counsel/information he provided and most importantly successful in obtaining the results/conditions that I desired to have at the end of my marriage. I would highly recommend Dan for anyone who is looking for legal representation.

TREMENDOUS HELP AND PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE

Mr. Sczesny kept me informed and provided expert legal guidance pertinent to my ex-wife's issues following the loss of my job late last year. He and his office were responsive while I've been working for ISAF Headquarters, Kabul, Afghanistan; coordination and timely response were critical in adjudic...ating the matter and bringing everything to a satisfactory outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Sczesny and his associates for excellent legal advice and services.
