I walked into Zukerman Law very broken and feeling defeated. My consultation with Shelly instantly put me at ease. She explained the law to me and what I should expect. My situation turned into a very high conflict case. I was quite dependent on Shelly at first as my feelings were constantly getting in the way. I bombarded her with emails and questions to which she always responded. The route we had to take was a complicated one and I don't think any other law group could have handled it as well as the team at Zukerman. Olivia , Shelly , Stuart and Meena were the best I could get. The end result

I am writing this post for a friend with his permission. His experience with Stuart Zukerman at Zukerman Law was horrible.
Stuart Zukerman cares about your money not about you or your children. He takes forever to respond, he works less than part time due to health issues and he lost every court hearing. He will purposely drag out your proceedings for as long as he can in order to make more money. He even bragged about how he was going to buy a new surround sound stereo system with the money he got from him. Words cannot fully describe the poor experience you will have from this law firm. The

I went to Zuckerman law to handle my uncontested divorce and am very pleased with the service that Meena Babin provided for me. Always available to answer any questions, either by email and or by phone. Couldnt be more happy with the help she and the firm provided for me.

Celina is the most unethical lawyer I have ever encountered. Not only will she promise you the moon when it comes to money, but she will not be able deliver and commonly use completely unethical techniques to deliver. Be warned, and unethical lawyer only gets you in trouble not the actual lawyer do not engage Zuckerman law in anyway.
