Law Office of John F. Zeckel, S.C.

Im grateful this was a free phone consultation provided by this lawyer via my employee assistance program but it left me feeling frustrated and unheard. He was extremely rude and abrupt, never letting me finish a sentence. Complete waste of my time but I guess I got what I paid for.

This attorney was completely unprofessional from start to finish. He laid down during my wife's visit in his office. He sent a non-notarized version of our prenup to the other attorney, resulting in the other attorney spending more time trying to get things sent again the correct way. He failed to properly charge my wife's credit card, resulting in an additional call. He raised his voice with me on the phone multiple times, even hanging up on me. He charged a $1100 retainer for reviewing a simple (13 page) prenup, then asked for even more money on the back end! The attorney that drafted the agreement gave us a refund on his already smaller retainer. So apparently attorney Zeckel needs more time to read a document than other attorneys do to create one. Stay FAR AWAY from this guy.

I am super happy with Johns work on my behalf. He was able to modify the extremely restrictive judgement in my original divorce when I retired so that I no longer have any commitments to my ex. She was combative and interested in taking me to the cleaners, but he was able to get her to settle without going to court. Although he did not respond to every email I sent, in retrospect, it was unnecessary and saved me significant money in fees. I strongly recommend him without any reservation.
