Stallkamp custody

Dan did a wonderful job representing me in my change of custody case. He kept me very informed daily if I needed information. He made me feel very comfortable when we met and I felt very confident in him. I am very happy with the outcome and would use his service if ever needed again.

Excellent experience. Highly recommend.

I retained Mr. Sczesny as counsel for my recently finalized divorce. He belongs to a law firm that I had worked with in the past and after only one meeting with him I felt confident to hire him. I very much appreciated that he was straight forward with me, telling me what was possible in the best s...cenario, but more importantly what I could expect in the most normal of scenarios. In terms of making decisions that would impact my child and myself forever, that level of honesty was absolutely priceless. Moreover, he was consistently prompt and responsive to my inquiries and welcomed communication ranging from brief yes/no answer texts, to in-depth 30+ minute conversations. Overall, I could not be happier with the work Mr. Sczesny did on my behalf.

Pleased client

Dan Sczesny provided my legal services in my divorce case this year. I was very comfortable with the services he provided as I always felt informed and knew what to expect in each phase of the process. I appreciated that he provided me with all if the options and recommended what would be best for my...self and my children. His services and pricing were made clear up front and was affordable. Not only would I recommend his services, but I have already referred him to a friend who has become his client.

Made my life whole again...

I came to Dan when my life was in great turmoil. My wife was planning to take my only son away from me and move 150 miles away. He told me that i need to file for divorce ASAP. My ex-wife made things very difficult for Dan and I. Dan told me the day I met him that this might turn out to be a long... and drawn out process. He also told me the things that i needed to do to come out on top. The thing about Dan is that he'll never feed you lines to keep you coming back. He was always straight up honest with me whether I liked what he had to say or not. Bottom line, he tells you how it is, with no surprises. I didn't feel like he was just trying to get through the case to collect a pay check. He actually cared. For that, Dan you will always be somebody that I was grateful to know... a friend. And now, I have custody of my beautiful son and both of us are very happy. There's only one person that I can thank for that. Thanks Dan...

Daniel Sczesney is the right choice!!!

I have a long history with Daniel Sczesny. He has been my lawyer for almost a decade. I have used Daniel for several family issues and I have recommended him to several of my friends. Daniel is honest and straight forward! He doesn't promise you anything he cannot achieve. I consider him a good frien...d as well. Watching Daniel's performance in the courtroom is amazing. His skill level is unsurpassed by his opponents and it clearly shows with his results. I know Dan as a nice, professional man, but in the courtroom I can describe him as a shark. He is professional and courteous, however he doesn't back down to the odds and he fights extremely hard for his clients rights. I am proud to have Daniel as my lawyer and friend! I am beyond satisfied with his performance! I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone interested in retaining legal services! This recommendation comes from almost ten years of personal experience with different legal matters. Daniel was the best choice I have made concerning legal representation! As legal custodian of my son, my son and I say "Thank you Dan!"
