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.

Humble Brilliance

Harold helped me with a custody case in which was solved through mediation. I struggle with words descriptive enough to explain my gratitude. Harold is humble, personable, brilliant, caring, compassionate, friendly, gracious, knowledgeable, clever, dependable, and educated with countless certificati...ons/credentials. Thank you thank you thank you for your work in my case. I am so appreciative for the manner in which Harold and his staff Bekki, Kirsten, and Kathy handled every detail... Again, I cannot express enough thanks. If you are looking for the BEST attorney- You found him!!!

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.

Worth Every Penny

I hired Harold after getting a recommendation from a local attorney. I live in Corpus Christi. Harold came down on several occasions to meet with me one on one. He is very thorough and very knowledgeable of the law. I would recommend him to anyone.

Posted by Sara | April 15, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.
