Law Firm Overview

The office of Zaslow & Sandler, LLC is committed to client service. Our focus is to first listen to our clients and understand the issues at hand. We then provide our clients with the available options to address the situations with firmness, fairness, and understanding. We work with our clients to implement a course of action through creative and skilled counseling, negotiation, and advocacy.

Our many years of experience in complementary practice areas gives us a unique advantage to draw upon knowledge, techniques, and skills developed in the overlapping areas of conflict resolution and problem solving in family law, child protection, estates, real estate, as well as representation in civil and criminal matters.

Our goal is to assist our clients in the most practical and expeditious manner to achieve the best results. Depending upon the needs of the client, we may do so via skilled advocacy in the courtroom and effective negotiation. We may also achieve advantageous results through other means – we are certified mediators, and have membership and service in various organizations for Alternative Dispute Resolution.

In short, our emphasis is on practical problem solving backed up by experienced negotiation and courtroom advocacy.
