An Excellent Choice

Daniel easily helped me understand the dissolution process and my options during the initial consultation. He showed patience when asked simple questions, yet his direct approach will help you save time in the long run. He is easily accessible and communicated important information outside of traditi...onal business hours. While negotiating agreements, he offered multiple solutions and easy-to-understand explanations of each option's impact. I was well informed throughout the process, provided a realistic time table and received reminders about every scheduled meeting or hearing. Put Daniel on your short list of attorneys to consult and interview. He's worth your time.

Excellent Attorney!

I cannot say enough good things about Dan. I walked into his office frustrated with a shared parenting plan. He listened to all of my concerns and walked me through everything. I felt as though he had my back from the start, I never once felt pressured or uncomfortable during the process. If I e...ver needed to reach him, he returned my call promptly. He kept me up to date with emails, phone calls, and even text messages. He's professional, knowledgeable, and very organized. I highly recommend him to others.

Wow! Very impressive!

Mr. Sczesny is a model divorce attorney. He is focused, concise and focused on results, without being emotional or nasty. His honest appraisal of my situation and timely actions kept my case on track and moving forward. Whenever I had a question or concern, he responded very promptly; I always kne...w where things stood. I am very satisfied with the ultimate result of my case and with the ultimate costs. His fee was refreshingly affordable.
