Divorced single MOM, Difficult unusual lawsuit

I hired Mr Zuflacht, for a stressful case after dealing with my crazy EX for 2 years, my ex used the legal system to harass me. Previously I had two other attorneys, that were too busy for me, as my ex always was ridiculous. After hiring Mr Zuflacht, that was the last time, my ex harassed me through... his attorneys, Alot of exes do this. Mr Zuflacht fought diligently For me, putting a STOP to my EX Husband. During Mr Zuflacht representation, I felt safe and confident, he did his job. Mr Zuflacht is the Best attorney and truly cares about his clients. He’s smart as a whip, has an excellent memory which attorneys NEED representing multiple clients, he knows family law better than any attorney I know, and uses it to defend your rights. I was 100% satisfied and would recommend him!

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.

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.

What An Awesome Lawyer And Great Man

With my marriage going south quickly, a good friend of mine gave me Harold's contact info. And I am so glad he did. After the initial consultation, I knew in my heart and mind, that Harold was the perfect choice to go up against my Ex wife. My case was pretty long and had quite a few strange twists..., but Harold was always prepared, and devoted to getting my divorce finalized. He is always so professional, dedicated, and compassionate to my needs. He truly amazes me, I never met anyone, who thinks "outside the box" as much as Harold. And it helped tremendously in my case. I am so thankful that I had Harold and his team, on my side. What an awesome lawyer. When anyone is looking for a Divorce Lawyer, they always want a great one. Well, they don't get any better than Harold Zuflacht. Thank you, for a job well done, Harold!!!
