He's NOT just an Attorney…..

With your children and your livelihood at stake, make not mistakes and have no regrets call Harold Zuflacht. Harold is an outstanding Attorney and an even better person, he is professional, respectful, and listens to what you wanted to accomplish with your divorce. He gives sound advice, but does n...ot over step your wishes. He got me through one of the worst times in my life by ensuring I got my children and my livelihood was not diminished. He taught me to focus on the long term goal and not to get caught up in the short term gains. He got to know me as a person, so he could really understand and see the real love I had for my kids and the passion I help for the company I built from the ground up. Harold took the time to listen and put in the effort to ensure my outcome was in the best interest of my children and myself. He never made a move unless we both of us agreed on path we were going head down. Harold's reputation proceeds him, I have complete trust in his abilities and will never go to anyone else. I am forever thankful for the many conversation, sound advice, encouragement, and most all Harold's work ethic that ensured my children, my business, and myself came out on top.

shield and buckler

I am grateful for the way Harold Zuflacht conducts himself. He is a gentleman in manner and an expert at navigating troubled waters. I was in a humiliating situation and he treated me with dignity. My future was at risk and he found a way to protect it. My divorce was difficult and lengthy. I needed ...a skilled attorney who was wise. It was fortunate that he took my case. I appreciated his meticulous work. I observed the respect he commanded from and returned to his colleagues. I enjoyed his confidence and logic. We came to know each other well and I admire him. I absolutely recommend him. I read his reviews before I hired him. I remember reading a description of HZ that said "just the right amounts warrior and diplomat”. I wish I had penned that phrase. It is perfect.

the “Matlock” of divorce attorneys

Harold Zuflacht is such a nice guy that when I first met him, I wasn’t sure that he would be aggressive enough of an attorney for my divorce situation. I was divorcing a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies and navigating the court system was not only challenging, but really expensive and depress...ing. Harold was my third attorney and I really needed someone to help me wrap things up and give me some peace. In the end, he did not disappoint. The nice guy exterior is genuine but not the only Harold you are likely to see. He is also tactical, eloquent, and calculating. Getting a divorce will most likely be the most gut-wrenching, panic-inducing, spark-dimming experience of your life, so having a team that knows how to get the job done quickly and efficiently is highly advisable. Harold and his staff are THAT team. I would not say the same for my first two attorneys.

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!

Family law at its best!!

When divorce is the only option and your children and livelyhood are at stake, you must take every step to protect yourself and your children. Harold Zuflacht came highly recommended and after a divorce and child custody suit, I understand why. When going through such traumatic life events, you need ...to know you are in the right hands. Your attorney has to get to know you and understand the complexities of your situation and many aspects of your life that are very personal. Harold does this which such professionalism and compassion. I always felt like he was my therapist as well as my attorney and had complete trust in his abilities and experience. To have one individual be there for you in so many aspects during the most difficult time of your life is beyond words. I hired Harold on two different occasions, once for a divorce and once for child custody. The results of both were a complete success. I was able to obtain full custody of my son and am proud to say that he completed high school with an “A” average, is now in University for physical therapy and became the North American Champion in Irish Dance. These accomplishments would not have been possible without Harold, I am forever greatful. To this day Harold and I still talk, as a business owner I have legal issues from time to time and Harold is always there to give me some advice and recommend the services of other quality attorneys in various legal fields. I recommend Harold to anyone needing the best family law attorney and the best is what you need during the toughest times to protect you and your children.
