My experience with Eric Pazner for child custody

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.

very good, but is always on you about money

Knows his stuff more than almost any other lawyer. Is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Got me a great custody deal and everything. Just make sure you have money up front. He does not work on owing as you go. He wants a positive balance at all times. Would give higher for trustworthy but he thr...eatened to walk away a few times if he didn't get some money. But is very good

Eric is Awesome - He will provide the best legal protection possible

Eric Pazner is an outstanding attorney. I used him for my divorce several years ago and am currently using him to fight for full physical custody of my children. Eric protected my rights in both cases. In the case of the divorce, Eric achieved the best possible results I could have reasonably expe...cted, and though my current case is still ongoing, Eric has been masterful at out-maneuvering the opposing counsel, and has been an instrumental part of helping me protect my children. If you look only at attorney's fees and pick the lowest fee you can find, you might not get the best attorney you can afford and might be under-represented in court. To me, the right attorney is the one that provides the most value - the one who best protects my rights at the most reasonable rates possible. Eric is extremely intelligent and fully versed in every nuance of family law as it relates to men. He will give the best legal representation possible, so when looking at the value proposition, factoring in fees as well as skill, I firmly believe Eric is the best value in the Metro-Detroit area. Eric is also very fair in where he applies charges. My ex-wife's divorce attorney would charge her a minimum 15 minute fee to leave or listen to a voice mail. Playing phone tag could run into the thousands of dollars before she even spoke to her attorney, and the total cost of her end of our divorce showed this (she also has a different attorney this time around). Eric doesn't bill that way, and in fact at no point did I feel I was in any way unfairly billed. Quite the contrary - Eric provided me as much representation as he could for every dollar I spent. Eric is somewhat busy - being a good attorney that is to be expected - and as a consequence he is not always available to pickup the phone. He does however return calls and whenever possible within the same day. Eric may also have other clients that have cases being heard on the same day and may have to move between court rooms. Fear not - when Eric gets into your court room he will be fully versed in your case, and if you have ever taken a debate class you will find yourself spellbound watching him masterfully outmaneuvering his opponent. If you appreciate debate, Eric is something to see. He's enthusiastic. He's engaged. He's informed. He truly is a master of the legal profession; not just knowledgeable, but deeply skilled. I've used Eric twice now, and though I would never wish a friend to need Eric's services, when a friend does need legal representation in family matters, Eric is the first and only name I recommend. If you are a father looking for the very best legal representation you can afford for any form of family matter, you really need to speak to Eric.

Excellent Lawyer

Eric is a great attorney with reasonable fees. He was able to promptly get me equal parenting time and joint custody and greatly reduce my monthly payments. Each time that I called with questions either Eric or his staff would quickly respond to my questions and offer excellent advice. He helped me t...o alleviate all the worries and stress associated with my divorce. Through his counsel I was able to save a great amount of money and I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone in need of a divorce attorney. Thanks Eric for all your help and support!!

I would recommend the Pazner Lawfirm

I would recommend the Pazner Law firm. Eric helped me gain custody of my son which really means a lot to me. He always listened to the problems I was having and recommended a reasonable solution. Since the beginning I felt that the Judge and Friend of the Court were always on my side. My ex was askin...g for an unreasonable amount of child support and Eric was able to negotiate that to my favor. He always responded to my emails and calls promptly and was always kind and courteous when I was upset about the situation. In all I give Eric Pazner a 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend Eric Pazner to friends and family
