Divorce

Harold is extremely knowledgeable of the laws but yet makes you feel comfortable on a personal level. He is empathetic and understands the clients wishes. Hiring the right attorney from the beginning is important so you don't have to worry about future ramnifications. Cheap attorneys have no value an...d valuable attorneys don't come cheap! I highly recommend Harold. You won't be disappointed!

Mr. Zuflacht Is An Amazing Attorney and Most Importantly, An Amazing Human Being!!!

As a single Mom facing the hard task of raising a toddler boy, adjusting to a new career in a new state, just the thought of facing the death of my marriage was terrifying, let alone going through the process of a divorce. Mr. Zuflacht's caring and considerate approach was exactly what we needed. I... found him to be extremely knowledgable, fair, honest and transparent. He and his staff communicated with me constantly to keep me informed as well as to set expectations. Instead of feeling as if I had an attorney, I felt like I had a family friend who was advocating for my son and I and ensuring that we were protected and that we would be ok. That provided me peace of mind, which was the most important thing to me because it allowed me to focus on work and raising my son. My ask of Mr Zuflacht was that my son and I enter the new year with closure and a fresh start. As I sit here today 12/24/2015, I am happy to say that not only am I going into the new year with my final divorce decree, I am also going into the new year with everything that I asked for as a part of the divorce, thanks to Mr. Zuflacht. Now my son and I can focus on healing. Thank you Mr. Zuflacht. Best Attorney Ever!!!!!

Mr. Zuflacht

Harold has handled my divorce and custody case, I couldn't of found a more trustworthy, loyal, and dedicated lawyer.

Posted by Cindy | December 07, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Do NOT trust this lawyer.

Harold Zuflacht charged us $30,000.00 for a simple child custody case. He dragged out the case for 1 1/2 years; then his bookkeeper said she had a refund for us. In spite of giving her our address 3 times, she sent the "refund check" to the wrong. address and ignores our attempts to contact her or ...their law office. Child custody is painful enough without getting out of $30k and lied to about a refund. Just a word of warning!!

No Show on Initial Consultation

I made a consultation appointment with Harold Zuflacht for help in getting visitation rights established from the divorce decree. I sent preliminary material, paid the $395 for initial consultation and arranged my work morning to handle the call. Ten minutes before the call was to begin his secreta...ry called to ask whether I could postpone to later in the week. I was given no reason. I said no. My one star rating is based solely on this single experience - that is what I have to go on.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
