Divorce Attorney

I came into my divorce not knowing what to expect. Mr. Sczesny made a hard time so less stressful. He is a brilliant attorney whose knowledge and wisdom were a marvel to watch. He was extremely understanding and his ability to stay 3 steps in front of everyone made his strategic planning incredible. ...I will never be able to thank him enough and deeply appreciate everything he did for me. I give him my highest recommendation. You will not be disappointed.

A good attorney can make hard legal matters a bit better.

I hired Dan to represent me in my divorce. Needless to say it wasn’t mad easy by the other party. Whenever I had a question Dan called me back right away, even on weekends so I wasn’t left wondering about divorce matters. Dan is honest and strait forward, he didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but w...hat I had to hear, honesty, which is what is needed. Dan is also a great litigator in court, 24 years of law enforcement I have listened to many attorneys so I know. If your life is turned upside down by divorce I highly recommend you consult with Dan and if your going to court, take him with you. Thanks again Dan!

Excellent family lawyer

Dan helped me through one of the most difficult time in my life. Going through my divorce was rough. I didn't know what to expect and anticipated the worst. Dan calmed me down and assured me that he would be there to help me throughout this process. He took the time to explain in detail the differenc...e between a divorce and a dissolution. After weighing the pros and cons he helped me decide on a dissolution. Filed and finalized in less than 60 days. Not only will I highly recommend that you hire him. I have recommended him to several friends and family members, some of which he has represented. He is an excellent attorney and any family matters that I have moving forward will be handled through him.

Prompt, smart and right to the point

Daniel's name was given to me through a family lawyer due to the case I was involved in. He represented me in the most professional way. His courtesy, knowledge and honesty helped my custody case go smoother than I ever expected. He made sure to tell me what to expect and hopefully what will become o...f my case, this truly helped ease my mind during my time as his client. After my case was finalized he still made it clear that if I was to need anything else to feel free to contact him. I can't thank him enough.

CPO

Mr. Sczesny was very professional and knowledgeable. He was very thorough in his courtroom presentation. I felt completely comfortable and magnificently represented and most importantly protected. I had a bully of a husband but after that trial date- I have had no problems and that's IF I hear fro...m him!! Thank you for everything Mr. Sczesny.
