Eric Laurence Pazner

I had a straightforward divorce case and Eric handled it well. He always explained what the process was, what he was going to do, what I could expect, etc. I found him to be honest with me and my experience was pretty much exactly as he described. Fee-wise he was in line with other lawyers I looke...d at. He did not nickel and dime me and I came out where I thought I would. I recommend Eric wholeheartedly!

In 2009 my son was moved three hours away to the west side of the state. I hired a lawyer to handle my custody case. I placed a hefty retainer with someone who gave me the run around and used up my full retainer with no results. I was discouraged and frustrated. My wife did some research and found Er...ic Pazner; she called him for a brief telephonic interview. We arranged a consult, I brought all of my documentation and information fom the original lawyer I hired. Immediately Eric reviewed everything and pointed out errors from my prior lawyer. Eric explained the law, child custody and gave me hope. Eric explained time and cost to handle my case. I expressed my goals for parenting time and expectations for joint legal custody. Eric Pazner informed me that everything I wanted for my son's relationship and I were realistic goals. Eric Pazner educated me on my legal rights as a father. Eric Pazner did all of this at our first meeting. I retained him to handle my custody case. My case was very complex, this wasn't a divorce custody case. The mother of my son and I split when he was six months old. I had no legal custody prior to hiring Eric. I had a visitation schedule only. Eric Pazner handled this case between two different counties three hours away that made the paper work hectic. Eric Pazner stayed in contact with me every step of the way. He responded to all emails and phone calls the same day. As most custody cases, mine was nasty. There was false allegations that normally would drag the case on. Eric Pazner abolished the non-sense and kept the case moving to be finalized. Eric Pazner achieved and surpassed all my expectations. I currently have joint legal custody of my son. I have a very detailed parenting schedule to ensure I am a active part of my son's life. If I had not hired Eric Pazner, I would have never been able to be a constant figure in my son's life. My son 10 years old now, will have a relationship with me, his step mom, his nana, aunts, uncles and cousins. After custody was established other issues occurred. I had to retain Eric two more times. Even though years had pasted from my original case, it was as if Eric handled it yesterday. His memory was amazing, he remembered details from my original case. Which made my more current issues easy to manage. Eric Pazner yet again was able to cut the unnecessary drama out and make my case about facts for the best interest for my son. I have worked with Eric Pazner three times now. Eric Pazner is ethical, reasonable, knowledge and honest. Eric Pazner has always given me his honest opinion and advice. You can't put a price tag on a relationship with your child, Eric Pazner was worth every penny spent.

Eric and his staff were on top of my case from our initial meeting. His insights were always directed toward my best interests and I feel that I benefitted greatly from his experiences. He was relentless in pursuing a resolution that I could live with and afford. He was available when needed and only... a cell phone call away at any moment. Eric and his staff were constantly turning over motions and responses within a 24 hour period - I felt that I was extremely well represented and my rights were protected. He was blatantly honest and candid during all discussions, which I personally value in an attorney. He is well respected among his peers based on our mediation experience and his preparation for all meetings was outstanding. I would use Eric again without hesitation and I unequivocally recommend him for your consideration.

My first lawyer was like my mother. "He's a good boy, your honor." While I appreciated the accolades, it got me no where in the legal system. I lost several motions filed by my ex over parenting time and support. Over the next several years, my son continued to tearfully indicate to me that he wa...nted to live with me. While I had joint custody and saw him every other weekend, it simply wasn't enough for him AND me. Of course, my ex didn't care what my son thought. To give him to me would mean that the gravy train had pulled into the station and she would no longer be in the driver's seat. My son went into a tail spin and did poorly emotionally and academically. It was then that I decided that enough was enough. I got rid of my lawyer and went with Pazner. During our first meeting, Eric laid everything out for me. I knew what motions were going to filed, what subpoenas would be issued, and how long it would take, best case scenario. Eric was always forthright, upfront, and never tried to snowball me. He was always available when I called and answered the phone personally during many late night calls. Voicemails were promptly returned. He updated me and reminded me of upcoming hearings with calls from his car, his home, and whenever he may have been out of town. He was always on top of things and was ready for anything the other side might attempt to pull out of their hat. We were always one step ahead of them. Needless to say, my ex and her cocky lawyer never knew what hit them. They were left with no choice but to react to everything Eric threw at them. In a short time, my ex finally agreed to the court motion awarding me full custody of my son. Since that time, my son has flourished. He's doing better in school and is well on his way to being a happy, well adjusted kid. I couldn't have done it without Eric Pazner. My only regret is that I didn't go with him to handle my divorce. Guys, trust me when I say you can't go wrong with this law firm.
