“AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!”

Zachary Kowalski represented me in my divorce case. He is very knowledgeable. He worked really fast to get all the facts and to get me ready for court. He gave me an idea of what the court process could be like. He is very professional and a personable person as well. I was very satisfied with his wo...rk and would definitely recommend him.

GREAT LAWYER!!!

I came across Attorney Zachary Kowalski by a referral from an organization I had reached out to for assistance with legal help in my divorce and custody case. I must say, that was the best referral I had ever received for a lawyer. I had been with a previous law firm and while they knew what they wer...e doing, they were VERY expensive and just kept dragging the case. Attorney Zachary accepted my case after a short consultation and went right to work to get me the best possible outcomes and he sure did. Attorney Zach is very knowledgeable on the intricacies of Family Law and also very affordable. I saw a level of energy, knowledge and skill from Attorney Zach that I did not see in my very expensive previous counsel both in our preparation meetings and in court. Attorney Zach brought my case to a close almost as soon as he came on board and also fought to ensure I got the best outcome and I sure did. I must also add here that in a field where every lawyer is very concerned about their huge retainer fees and hourly rates, Attorney Zach brings a heart of sympathy and understanding for his clients to his work. He works with his clients at their level while not compromising on achieving the best possible results for them. I am thankful for having Attorney Zach work with me and will surely hire him as my counsel should I need one in the future. If you are looking for a family lawyer with a wealth of experience who is committed to giving you the best possible outcomes at a price that is more affordable than what is out there, give Attorney Zachary a call. Trust me, I know when I say he is a great lawyer!

A LAWYER WITH DISTINGUISH ABILITIES

I had a complicated case with my ex wife wherein she was secretly keeping evidence to use in court against me. Nevertheless, I wasn't aware until I met Zach ( my lawyer) who fought tirelessly with lots of zeal and compassion . The result of the case was mind blowing for I wone. His mastering of the l...aw is worth mentioning. I shall ever be grateful to him. Only GOD can reward him.

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!

Five Star

Unfortunately for me, my divorce case has entailed every nightmare scenario from false allegations of abuse to parental alienation. Searching for anything resembling justice, I went through four attorneys before hiring Mr. Kowalski. I often wonder how my life would be different had he been the firs...t one I hired. Unlike the other attorneys, Mr. Kowalski was not interested in playing to my emotions (and by extension, my wallet) by bad mouthing my ex-wife, her attorney, etc. He keeps his eye on the ball and laid out my options at every step to include the pros and cons and the cost of each option. He also advised me at times to see beyond the immediate crisis and my knee jerk reaction to how it might affect my relationship with my son when he's a man and no longer under her control. In the court room, he is always thoroughly prepared. He's not a showman, using the false outrage and stunts of other attorneys, which I feel often backfires on their clients. Having been through several attorneys, I would highly recommend Mr. Kowalski. I would also advise not to let his relative youth dissuade you. I found older attorneys I hired to be lazy, quite frankly.
