Lawyer

Harold did an excellent job on my case. He was always prepared and he genuinely cared about me and my kids. Thank you, Harold.

Review

This is by far, the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Harold Zuflacht was referred to me by a business associate and I’m so thankful I ended up in his office. He treated me with the utmost respect and took care of every detail. He is not only my attorney but now my friend. Truly grateful I... had him in my corner.

Posted by Troy | April 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Exceptional from beginning to end

We hired Mr. Zuftlacht because of a very difficult custody issue that arose after my divorce. He was extremely professional yet compassionate throughout the 20 months long custody battle. Not only was Mr. Zuflacht very professional and organized, his staff that assisted us throughout the entire proce...ss is top notch. I would consider Mr. Zuflacht as family law at its best.

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.

Top Notch Attorney

I have used a number of family and business law attorneys over the years, which gives me some basis for comparison. Mr. Zuflacht is, by far, the most efficient, well-versed, and well-prepared attorney I have ever worked with. His demeanor in the courtroom is excellent--displaying firmness and wisdom ...in a soft spoken and courteous manner, sometimes seasoned with humor. In consultation, he is thoughtful, caring, reassuring, and perceptive. I heartily recommend him as a diligent and resourceful person and attorney.

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.
