Hear About Their Experiences

“Christy Zlatkus came into my life at the perfect time, and she guided me through the various obstacles that I encountered through divorce and [child] custody proceedings that lasted nearly two years. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, invaluable, and a pivotal force in starting this new and now positive chapter of my life. I’m grateful for her representation and would recommend her to any friends or family going through difficult times.”

"I am so incredibly grateful for all of the hard work you have put into my case, in addition to being so personable and helpful when it came to the emotional aspect of it all. You’ve helped me through overcoming some awful trauma, and somehow have had an uncanny way of knowing and understanding exactly everything I feel and want as an outcome in this situation. I’ve already recommended your services to a few friends of mine and will continue to do so."

"Christy's professionalism, fierce intelligence, dedication to her craft, and no BS way of walking me through what each step of the divorce process will look like has given me courage and strength to stand strong against a very toxic ex. My child and I have a brighter future thanks to her guidance...I am able to focus on forging a new life for myself, knowing that she's got my back and is looking out for my legal interests. Over the past few months I've found myself repeating her insight as a personal affirmation: 'This will be the worst year of your life, but you can get through it.' Thanks to her help, I am."

"When I met Christy, I was overcome with anger...However, as the custody battle forged forward, Christy understood and respected my views...She provided a platform for my voice to be clear and powerful in the courtroom. Christy gets it. She listens. She’s articulate. She knows her craft. Her organization is out of this world. Alongside her paralegal, Megan, they were a formidable force. I’m glad they were on my side. Christy is passionate about serving her clients. She believes in fairness and she works hard on your behalf...I can not say enough about Christy’s abilities to perform her craft or her as a person."
