Caring and compassionate attorneys who are worth their weight in gold! I am a mom who found herself unexpectedly at the courthouse filing an emergency petition for custody after my estranged husband refused to return our children after their scheduled visit with him. I found myself in immediate need of representation. Z Family Law came highly recommended, and now I know why! They MADE time for me, and at the very last minute! We had an hour to prepare before we went before the judge, but you would have never known. Inna Loring, the attorney with the practice who represented me, handled the courtroom like she had had weeks to prepare! And we were ultimately successful with a very fair verdict from the judge. My babies are back in my arms, and now I have a court order that protects them from being wrongfully taken from me again. If you find yourself in a battle for the best interests of your children, you could not ask for better attorneys to ensure just that. They really and truly CARE about you and your children.

I can’t express how grateful I am for the outstanding representation and support I have received from the whole team at Z Family Law. My custody case, which has stretched out nearly two years, has been an incredibly tough journey, filled with moments of uncertainty and overwhelming emotions.
When my initial attorney left the practice, I was terrified at the thought of starting over, I was reassured by team members at Z Family Law that Maura would be a good fit for my case. After my initial meeting with Maura, I could feel the dedication and willingness to help my children and me. Maura’s intense and fierce approach was exactly what my case needed. Her unwavering dedication, paired with some at times not well received tough love, helped us navigate the many complexities and challenges we faced. Her honesty was sometimes hard to hear, but always knew it came from a place of deep professionalism and genuine care. She left no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of my case was meticulously prepared.
Ridhika brought a patient and kind energy that was true balm to my unsettled emotions. Her compassionate approach provided the reassurance and support I desperately needed during the most stressful time of my life. No matter how many questions or concerns I had, she was always there, answering with empathy and understanding.
The synergy between Maura and Ridhika was truly remarkable. Together, a powerful and incredibly effective team emerged to celebrate a positive outcome in my custody case. Even now, I know I can reach out to Z Family Law with any follow-up questions and receive a prompt response.
I couldn’t have asked for a better team to stand by my side during this challenging journey. If you-re in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend Maura, Ridhika, and the entire team at Z Family Law. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for their clients are truly exceptional. I am eternally grateful for everything!

For ten years I've been constantly lied to, given half truths and evasive answers by [my child's other parent] about how [they're] raising my child, and there's been literally nothing I can do about it. Today was the first time I've seen [them] have to answer questions with real answers... I just want to thank you... It is important that I feel supported... I felt supported today and it makes a difference. Thank you.

I enjoyed working with the team and am happy with the outcome of my grandson's custody situation. I've already recommended the firm to a friend who inquired about child custody lawyers.

Thank you for your expertise and attention on my post-nup agreement. I appreciate your advice and hard work as we worked on the details. I’m glad the ball is out of my court for a while now and will try to relax as I wait to see where things go from here. Thanks!

I want to thank each of you for your professional support throughout this process. I know each of you added her part to make it as smooth as possible from start to finish. [Thank you] for your understanding and kindness which added immensely to the time and effort you put into my case! I appreciate it all and I'm glad it has come to a conclusion.

I think this is the first time I've ever felt really heard and like someone truly understands....Its been years. I cannot convey to you how much it means to me that you're working so hard on my case and clearly have taken the time to review YEARS of information I've provided. Thank you. It is exceptionally uplifting. I am beyond thrilled to have you and your entire office in my corner.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all you did for my case. You’re so professional and on point in everything you do. You worked hard on my case and for that, I will be forever grateful to you. This case took years of my life, but having you as my attorney, I always felt secure. At the end, I got what I wanted and more and I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for everything.

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.

T.L.
Divorce and Custody Client

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. I hope you are doing well - you are always in my thoughts! Keep up the great work.

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 especially grateful for her no-nonsense talk at the beginning, when she told me no sane person would attempt to perform surgery on themselves, and that trying to do my case with limited counsel to 'save' money would cost me loads more in the long run, as I would have to pay an attorney to fix mistakes I would make on my own. I am so grateful I took that advice, as well as all her other guidance.

I've been able to compartmentalize my ex's behavior, leaning into the mantra she gave me at the outset: 'Not my problem, talk to my attorney.' 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.”

Would HIGHLY recommend this firm. They take your case as if it was happening to them, take the time to actually explain the process so you can understand what is going on! Could not be happier with my decision to use Z Family Law!

So wonderful to hear this [has come] to an end... I can't say enough thanks to you, not only for helping me with my case, you are also a great mentor, [and influential] in my life and ultimately my children's life too.

When I met Christy, I was overcome with anger. My emotions were at heights I’ve never experienced. This situation I was going through was one of disbelief, but in hindsight I find it difficult be shocked. It was an extremely painful experience.

However, as the custody battle forged forward, Christy understood and respected my views. Her level headedness and professionalism kept me and my emotions grounded. She understood the evident strong connection I had with my son and created her representation around it. 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. She doesn’t deal with gimmicks or undermining or underhanded techniques to get the job done. She’s respectful of your time and your situation. She has a spirit about her that encourages you to uplift yourself even though you’re experiencing a difficult time.

When I first sat down with her, I was a raging wreck. Concluding our conversation, my immediate thought was... “Let me hurry up and get Ms. Christy her retainer!”

I didn’t understand how, but I left her office knowing that the odds where going to be in my favor. I consider Christy a vital representative of my family’s dynamic and one whom has my loyalty. I cannot say enough about Christy’s abilities to perform her craft or her as a person. It was by chance I stumbled upon her and I’m glad I did. I owe her an enormous amount of gratitude for what she’s done for me.
Thank you, Christy!

Words cannot express my joy and gratitude for all the work you have all put into my case. Your service, dedication and professionalism is exemplary to your [firm] and most appreciated. Again, I want to ‘THANK YOU’ for all that you have done for me and for returning my life to me.

Going through my divorce 2 years ago was one of the hardest things I ever had to do ... [but] I was blessed to have the counsel of Z Family Law. Not only did I receive expert guidance regarding what to expect throughout the entire process – I also received a level of personal attention and responsiveness that eased much of the anxiety I had been experiencing ... The “Z Team” was my partner and trusted advisor throughout a very long and complex set of court proceedings ... I was impressed with the level of research and preparation the team delivered to me in support of my case ... and the discovery process reflected a level of meticulous assembly of documents that presented my case in the best light possible.

I was a Client of Z Family Law during what was was easily the most hurtful, stressful, sad, and paralyzing time of my life. And why wouldn't it be, right? Family law clients are going through abrupt changes they feel powerless to control; they are truly experiencing the hardest human emotions (fear, anger guilt, shame, sadness, uncertainty) while simultaneously having to continue day-to-day routines as if everything were normal. One of my favorite Christy-isms - something she said to me whenever everything felt like it was too much to handle - was, "You can do hard things." She used to say it to me a lot, and in the moment it often felt untrue. But when the hard things were over, I realized she was right. What Christy and her team taught me about my own strength is one of the most invaluable things I gained from working with Z Family Law.

THANK GOODNESS FOR TIKTOK!!! I had to switch counsel halfway through my case, which was extremely stressful if you can imagine. Z Family Law came across my FY page at the perfect time, thank god for the algorithm! After my initial conversation with Monica, [my legal team] wasted no time! To say they hit the ground running is an understatement. I was extremely impressed with the ground Inna and [her legal assistant] covered in a short period of time. Although Inna and [her legal assistant] were my legal team, I love how all of the attorneys come together to construct a strategy specific to your case. [The Client Relationship Manager] always checked in with me and provided a ton of useful resources for both me and my little one. Inna was delightful, extremely intelligent, and precise. She really fought for me and what was best my little one. Ultimately, my ex and I were able to settle on terms I was happy with. This firm is truly dedicated to building the best possible outcome and I couldn’t be happier!!!

I was thoroughly pleased with Z Family Law. There is a whole team that makes you feel welcome and cared for, stays in touch and follows up constantly to make sure you are getting the assistance you need. It’s not just the legal side that they attend to but staff is available to guide you to whatever support and help you need. I would highly recommend Z Family Law given my experience with this team. I am very confident in their expertise and genuine commitment to their clients’ comprehensive needs.

From the moment I walked into the office at Z Family Law, I was blown away with kindness and care. Starting with the receptionist, she was always so wonderful and sweet to talk to on every phone call or visit. During my case, the original attorney had went on a hiatus and I was given a new attorney Inna Loring and she was just wonderful. The transition was smooth and easy. There was never a moment that I was concerned with the services I was provided and will recommend them to anyone I know who needs services. Thank you Z [F]amily Law for making what was a very difficult time in my life, smooth, easy and a little more simple, you guys are truly amazing!!!

My first experience in my search for a family law attorney for my divorce left me feeling like I was a business transaction. I decided to look for another law firm. I was referred to Christy and from that first meeting, I feel like I have won the lottery. She took the time to listen, and more importantly, she made me see the future, when at that point I was merely trying my best just to survive. Z Family Law empowered me with knowledge, guidance every step of the way, advocated for me and my children, and secured our future. My divorce is far behind me, and I am now living a life that is exponentially greater than any future I could have imagined when I was first starting my divorce - ONLY because of Christy and Z Family Law.

I was recently involved in a domestic violence case. Christy made a very emotional and scary situation as easy as possible given the awful circumstances. She was sympathetic, encouraging, and assisted me every step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions no matter what time of day and she did a great job helping me with my victim's impact statement starting from editing it, to giving me the courage to stand in front of a court and read it. I felt that she truly cared about my case and was on my team. I would recommend Christy and her staff to anyone. They are truly the best and go above and beyond what is required of them.

Christy was extremely helpful, as was the entire Z Family Law team. Christy was knowledgeable and honest with the possibilities of my case… she truly cares about her clients. Everyone that I worked with at Z [F]amily Law listened, and showed empathy to my situation, while focusing on the legalities and responding expeditiously. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have had Christy representing me.

I really can’t put into words how incredible and caring my experience with Z family Law has been. If your looking for a team that actually listens and cares about your situation and family, you are at the right place! Christy is amazing!!! I’m so blessed to have the privilege of working with her.

Christy was very knowledgeable and empathetic during a very difficult time period. Christy provided her services in a professional manner, and I would recommend the firm to any friend or family member with family law issues. Everyone I have worked with at the firm is incredibly responsive and helpful. I appreciate their whole person approach to addressing family law issues. I felt like there were so many changes beyond my custody and divorce and they were very understanding and supportive in me as an individual throughout the entire process.

T.L.

All my questions were answered in a timely manner. I never felt rushed during any consultation and having knowledgeable support behind me made the divorce process easier to navigate. I have already recommended Z Family Law to others.

Z Family Law is amazing. It is very uncertain and frightening trying to find the right lane team to represent you in a divorce and property dispute. However the attorney’s and legal support team really fought for me!!! They were kind, wise, and ethical. They know how to deal with underhanded people. It took much longer then expected but the team was there with me every step of the way and in the end it was worth it. We won!!! Strongly recommend!
