Great Lawyer with legit morals and work ethic.

Harold took on our complex case late in the game. My previous attorney had failed on so many levels that things seemed almost impossible to fix. I shared the details of my divorce process with Harold and explained my wants and concerns. (The wellness and safety of my child was an area I asked his ...team to laser focus.) Harold and his team scoured the documents and suggested a winning strategy within the first week. This was a long drawn situation but once Harold rolled up his sleeves, things happened at rapid pace! The momentum shifted to our side almost immediately. Literally Harold fixed all the issues. The strategy he implemented worked flawlessly. Communication was great. I was able reach Harold via: Text, email, office or on his cell phone. I truly cannot put a price on the value Harlold and his team!!!! One of the most valuable aspects of Harold and his team to me was: Using them as a sounding board. I could ask if my thoughts or ideas were legit concerns and winnable or wasted energy. They always gave me a straight honest answer. Harold provided experts and other resources I didn’t even know existed. I can say with 100% certainty that I came out in much better shape then where I started. Harold is a great human being and a great family man and he treats both sides with respect. Divorce is tricky and I needed someone I could trust. My family and I are so fortunate to have found Harold and his team!! I don’t want to sound like a commercial but I highly recommend Harold Zuflacht to anyone!

A Winning Mentality and Proven Formula For Success

Harold helped me get through my divorce and he helped me protect the most valuable asset in my life, my child. Harold remembered every tiny detail possible in my case, and he was always beyond well-prepared every time we spoke. Harold was amazing in court during my case and he can't stand to lose (an...d he rarely does lose). My family and I are completely and utterly grateful of Harold and the work he and his staff put on my case; without Harold I wouldn't have custody of my child. I had 3 lawyers total throughout my divorce, and Harold was by-far the best. He constantly remembered small details about me, my life, and my story, whereas the other 2 lawyers never could fully grasp my case. Harold had a formula for success and it clearly worked very well. If you are going through a divorce in your life and you need to protect something that is very important to you, Harold will share the same passion as you, and he will motivate you to be as prepared as you can be to win your case. I can't say that I received that type of service from my other 2 lawyers.

Honest, Respectful, Sincere, and Sensitive of the situation

Harold was always professional and respectful of what I wanted to accomplish with the divorce, he never lost sight of the long term goal we set. He was patient with me when he would often have to remind me to not get lost looking for short term gains. He was great working through all of my options a...nd how they would work out before we would chose a path to proceed. He was very focused on making sure that everything we did was right for my family and he made sure that my kids well being was always the priority. He was always extremely prepared for court and ready for any obstacles that would come up. He even suggested a custody evaluation to strengthen our case and ease the burden of prof off of me. He was so effective the first day in court that my ex-wife had to face the reality that she was not guaranteed to win custody just because she was the mother of our children. In the end I have custody of my children and we are now focusing on their future. He knows how to navigate through the court system, he is very respected in the court house by all of the clerks and Judges and that makes for a much less hostile environment in a troubling time in your life. I can not say enough great things about Mr. Zuflacht, even if we had not won the case I would recommend him on his professionalism, honesty, and respect he holds for his clients and colleagues.

Assisted with the Divorce Process with Compassion and Ease

Divorce is difficult. It's emotionally heartbreaking, terrifying, and one feels completely lost and bound by logistics of getting out of a marriage from someone who doesn't want to be married to you anymore. Harold was amazing in providing me with the best information and helping me go through the le...gal paperwork and procedures of divorce. Divorce is not an easy process, but Harold guided me through it seamlessly so that I could move on and start a new life. I would recommend anyone who is going through a divorce to use his services because it will be one less thing for you to worry about. You already have so much on your plate so it helps to have someone by your side to take care of everything that has to do with the legal process of divorce. Thank you Harold, I truly appreciate the work, compassion, attentiveness, and speed of getting this taken care of. I feel like I can move on and start anew and breath a sign of relief that this is behind me and better days are ahead. Thank you always.

Mr. Zuflacht objective was always to ensure I was well represented and taken care of as his client and friend which made a difficult situation as smooth as possible. His staff was nothing but helpful, and professionalism at it’s finest. I highly endorse Mr. Zuflacht to anyone looking for top notch representation! His integrity speaks for itself. You’d be doing yourself an injustice by not using Mr. Zuflacht as your attorney.
