David Zwaska

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Laude & David. As a father seeking a divorce, full custody of my son, and permission to relocate, I was in for an uphill battle—so much so that another local attorney actually laughed at me during our consultation meeting. But not David, from the jump... I felt respected and taken seriously by him and his team. He didn’t baulk or disbelieve me as I told him my story, and right away he provided structure and direction to my case. My divorce went on for over a year, but Laude and David made it as painless as it could possibly be—their communication was consistent and coherent, making it easy for me to understand next steps, timelines, and the whys behind their strategies. They were never once too busy to explain something to me, provide context, or weigh the pros and cons. From day one, I felt like I was in the best possible hands—because I was. Also, they’re both really friendly. Great bedside manner goes a long way! To me, this team achieved the impossible. I was granted full custody of my child, allowed to relocate, and I am finally happily divorced. I truly could not have done any of this without David & Laude and their team at Merel Family Law. 12/10 would RECOMMEND!

I personally entered into my divorce proceedings scared, inexperienced, knowing absolutely nothing about the court system and how to get anywhere. David Zwaska was a pleasure to work with through the entirety of my case from start to finish (and my divorce was a grueling almost 18 month process! ) Da...vid always stayed patient. He helped me to navigate all the unfamiliar territories and never lost faith in my case every step of the way, resulting in a very fair settlement and the best possible outcome for the children involved. I'm very thankful to have gotten to work with him and would hire him again in a second!

The divorce settlement between my ex-wife and me has just been finalized .We have a 6 year old daughter . David Zwaska consulted and supported me during the whole process of the Parenting Allocation Judgement and the Divorce settlement . He was always very responsive to any questions I had ,whethe...r via EMail or Phonecalls. The whole process took around 2 Years and and there where some hurdles to take , but at the end I am very pleased with the outcome . David was able to achieve a very good settlement deal for me , I am very happy with the outcome .The costs for David's support stands in a very good relationship to it .

David was amazing and my case was NOT easy by any stretch! He was always prompt with his responses and remained calm, focused and logical regardless of how emotional or stressed out I became. He is able to think “big picture” while also honing small details so the end goal is not lost (not always ea...sy for people to do!) His knowledge of the law and his ability to get the job done is A+. I highly recommend anyone contemplating the difficult process of divorce reach out to David because he will likely give you perspectives you haven’t thought of. Thank you, David for helping me through the most difficult time of my life, I am now flourishing and loving my new life!

David Zwaska is a phenomenal divorce attorney. The past year and a half was a very stressful time for me. Thank you Dave for helping me through it. Your attention to details are absolute. My children and I are in a better situation because of you and your knowledge of the law. I greatly apprecia...te all that you have done (Mitch too). Thank you so very much!
