Great Lawyer!

I worked with Harold for 2 years on my divorce. I can't say it was a great experience because it was a hard divorce, but Harold tried to keep it as easy as possible for me and he did a great job. I recommend him completely.

President/CEO

I wanted the best which is why I hired Harold Zuflacht. Prior to meeting with him, local friends and colleagues stated he was the best and should be my only choice. While I had hoped for a reasonable divorce having two young children in the mix, it quickly became one of the most challenging experienc...es. Harold walked me through every careful step, making himself both professionally and personally available. At one point, due to several issues from the other side and extreme frustration on my own part, I was willing to just give everything away to end the madness. He provided a calm and rationale approach at every turn; asking and actively listening, while proving sound advice and options I hadn’t considered. His years of expertise, experience, and insight put my best interests and those of my children, first. What started as me hiring an expert divorce attorney has become a lifelong and respected friendship. There are always options but there is only one best choice – Harold Zuflacht.

Divorce

Harold Zuflacht is an incredible attorney with great integrity. His in-depth knowledge of family law was evident throughout my divorce process. The heightened emotions that are entangled with a life-altering event, such as divorce, can be quite overwhelming. He was supportive and took the time to tho...roughly explain the specifics of my case, in detail as the process evolved. Harold was a total professional and advocate for me. Hiring Harold Zuflacht to represent me and my best interests was undoubtedly the right choice!

A great attorney. Extremely competent, supportive and fair.

I retained Harold Zuflacht in a difficult and extremely emotional divorce last year. He was available every day of my case as needed for consultation and even made his cell number available if I really needed it. We went up against one of the best attorneys in the area and we finished the case earlie...r than expected with a very fair settlement. His legal skill is great, but just as important he's a supportive attorney who truly cares. His advice on how to navigate child visitations and child support after the court case was settled was spot on. I’ll always be thankful. Besides Harold, all the staff we worked with at Harold’s law firm were terrific: competent, professional, and personable. I recommend Harold Zuflacht to everybody who needs a family law attorney.

Divorce Case

Harold is a fantastic attorney. He not only provided great legal service, but he provided a sense of calmness, rationality, and insight that went far beyond just the legal scene. He is a genuine man. He clearly understands the difficulties of getting divorced, and it is easy to decipher that he g...enuinely cares for and takes interests in his clients. He never rushed off the phone or out of a meeting and Harold made sure everything was made crystal clear. He and his team will keep you well informed and up-to-date on your case; their professionalism is top notch.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
