Efficient Child Support Modification

I used a big law firm for my divorce and it was ungodly expensive and not a great experience. I had a job loss and then reduction in salary and I needed to modify child support. I started pro se and then at the last minute (like 2 business days before the court date) I brought Zach in. Clearly I shou...ld have hired him weeks before but he still did an amazing job. I paid a fraction of what I would have paid to use my first attorney and was very satisfied with the results. He knows his stuff in regards to family law. He went up against a big name divorce attorney in MoCo and still had a favorable outcome. I wish I had used him for my divorce!

Mrs

Mr. Kowalski, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding Legal research and Court presentation in support of my defense for a Child Support Modification case! Due to your outstanding Legal experience, you obtain an increase in my child support payments, rather than an expec...ted decrease. U are absolutely the best lawyer I have ever seen! Thanks so much! I will always be grateful to you! Lupe

Phenomenal Attorney

Thanks to Zakary my divorce that was to possibly drag to 2 years took less than a year with me still getting the best out of the divorce.He handled my case with such integrity and empathy.Zakary fought for me to get child support for my son when my ex almost manipulated his way out.He is the best div...orce attorney you would find out there.

Saved the DAY!

I hired Mr. Kowalski for my custody case separate from my child support case. I went to child support hearing alone and that turned out to be not in my favor. Upon completion of the hearing, I spoke with “Zack” for guidance and added him to my case. I didn’t know what would happen when we returned fo...r a hearing almost a year later, but Zack knows the statutes and even the judge had to open the statutes to verify what he stated in order to receive a proper judgment. Without Zack, I don’t think I would have received the results that were in my best interest. If you want an attorney who knows the statutes and works diligently to ensure you receive the best results possible, then Mr Kowalski is the attorney for you.

Highly recommend Zach Kowalski

I had a complicated case because it was a custody modification after nearly 7 years. A Best Interest Attorney (BIA) was appointed for my kids, which is when I hired Zach. He was extremely thorough in explaining to me how the BIA process worked and what my role was in that process. Zach was... also very patient and detailed oriented as he went through my case. This included the pros and cons of asking for certain things, what the chances of getting certain things were, offering up options I had not thought about, and probably most important, he was able to read the tea leaves as the case progressed and evolved. Zach also has a very calming demeanor. This was very helpful since I was anything but calm. He was able to walk me off the ledge many times. Finally, Zach was very up front with cost estimates and I never felt like he was trying to use or abuse time in order to get more billable hours. This was very refreshing, as my past experience with lawyers was very different. The bottom line is I would highly recommend Zach to folks going through the difficulties of divorce/custody. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, detail oriented, thorough and calm during a very tumultuous time. With is guidance and counsel, I was able to get a custody and child support structure that was best for my kids.
