Fantastic! First Call...Call Eric!!

I hired Eric to represent me in an unwanted divorce. He did an excellent job in presenting options to me, spoke from extensive experience on what his suggestions were, and ultimately let me decide what was best for my own situation. And he represented that decision. Eric kept me informed through...out the entire process on what to expect, what challenges were worth fighting vs. those that were not. Though I may not have gone along with what all of his recommendations (i.e. child support/placement arrangement), he supported and negotiated for me/my children to the very end to get what the best outcome for me/my family could be. And he got it. 100%. Considering this was a situation I didn't ask for, and he had to represent me with that stance in the court of law -- Eric did everything he could to protect me, my children's interests, my livelihood and well-being....without compromising one iota on standards or morals. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Eric's para-legal, Erin, who definitely deserves more than a 'mention'! She is proficient, thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient! She knew what was going on through the duration of the case, and was able to answer questions handily that I asked. I would recommend Eric and his team without hesitation to handle any family law matter. He's knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and fair. He's my first call, and referral, in the event of another family court matter.

Fantastic representation

Eric was fantastic! He listened to what I was going through, what my concerns were, and he kept mine and my sons's best interest in mind while handling the divorce. Never once did I feel he wasn't doing his job properly. He was always well prepared for every meeting or call, knew the background well ...and was the best voice for me. Erin, his paralegal, was always helpful, understanding and up to speed on the case, as well. They will be my first phone call and first recommendation for anything needed by myself or friends/family in the future. Thank you, both, for all of your hard work for me!

Eric Zaeske

I recently went through a divorce. Mr. Zaeske was my attorney. I was very impressed with his knowledge of divorce law, the professionalism of his staff, and his genuine concern in making sure my rights and property were protected. Eric is excellent at explaining the situation at hand, and the opt...ions that are available. The thing that impressed me most was Eric's ethical approach in managing my case. He was always upfront on costs, and outcomes of actions taken. I would highly recommend Mr.Zaeske.

Excellent

Extremely knowledgeable, has great 'presence' in court, and has the gift of being able to communicate effectively in all situations. Definitely was a factor in the positive outcome of both my divorce and subsequent placement battle. I am so happy that Eric was on my team. In addition to being a gr...eat lawyer and having an extraordinary working knowledge of the law, he is a nice person and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He's great.
