My friend gave me the name of this lawyer because he helped her get her case settled in less than a month amicably and without a fight. He did the same for me within two months. I can't thank him enough, and his law clerk is the nicest person I have met!

Mr. Zeidman is very professional. He constantly was thinking of different ways to resolve things that helped me and my husband finish a separation agreement quickly. He focussed on how each issue would affect my kids, and that made discussions easy and effective. I am so happy I found Mr. Zeidman, and I recommend him highly!!

My kids are the most important thing in my life. Mr. Zeidman focused on that and gave me advice and settled a separation agreement that gave me equal time with my kids. He is so good to deal with because he lays everything out, all the choices, both good and bad, and explains the risks of making each choice. He is an open book full of wisdom about family law and how to handle things the best way. And unlike some other lawyers I've had, he returns calls quickly!!

AVOID THIS LAWYER like the plague. Don't believe me ? look at his reviews on LawyerRatingz - pay attention to the patterns: "antagonistic", "fabricates the truth". These are other peoples words, not mine. I learned this first hand.

Cannot agree more with other reviewers. Mr. Zeidman was able to explain things fully in a way that was easy to understand. He gave me choices and told me the pluses and minuses of each choice all the way through. Although he recommended things, he reinforced that it was my decision to make on how to proceed each step of the way, and he supported my decisions fully and assertively in negotiating a settlement. He is very fair and I felt he empathized with my situation so much. I wasn't just a "file" but a person he cared about helping as much as possible. Highly recommend him!!
