A great attorney. Extremely competent, supportive and fair.

I retained Harold Zuflacht in a difficult and extremely emotional divorce last year. He was available every day of my case as needed for consultation and even made his cell number available if I really needed it. We went up against one of the best attorneys in the area and we finished the case earlie...r than expected with a very fair settlement. His legal skill is great, but just as important he's a supportive attorney who truly cares. His advice on how to navigate child visitations and child support after the court case was settled was spot on. I’ll always be thankful. Besides Harold, all the staff we worked with at Harold’s law firm were terrific: competent, professional, and personable. I recommend Harold Zuflacht to everybody who needs a family law attorney.

Hire Harold for peace of mind

Harold Zuflacht helped me with my divorce which included custody. He’s a very brilliant and caring man who accomplished the best outcome for my son and I. My case was a long and slow process, but Harold updated me every step of the way and I always had peace of mind after speaking with him. He ant...icipated every outcome along the way and reacted according to my best interest. All the while he had all the patience in the world for me. I can’t imagine going through this process with anyone else. I would highly recommend Harold to anyone going through a divorce.

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!!!

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!
