THIS LAW FIRM IS UNETHICAL! Read all the bad reviews. Our association uses them, and it's been a complete disaster. Find another firm; Dickler, Kahn, Slowikowski, and Zavell has no integrity.

I have been extremely pleased with the services of both Howard Zavell and Jim Slowikowski. Howard especially made dealing with a difficult situation bearable...he was very consultative and proactive throughout the process. I felt listened to and respected--a very different experience than the one I had with another law firm. Howard makes himself readily available and treats his clients with honesty and genuine care. Highly recommend Howard Zavell.
Wonderful law firm and great communication from all parties involved.

Truly unprofessional. They render baseless legal opinions and then attempt to bar you from reaching out for clarification or analysis. Very disappointed in the representation they have provided to our HOA.

This law firm represents my condo association and they embody unprofessionalism. Please do your research and consider another law firm for your legal work.

If I could give zero stars I would. This law firm represents the condo association that I live in. They have aligned themselves with a rogue board member and refuse to answer any questions. They write sub-par legal opinions with no citations to back them up. They don't print these opinions on letterhead because, "they don't want board members or owners contacting them." As if we couldn't just do a simple GOOGLE search. I'm an attorney myself and would never NEVER hire this incompetent and disgraceful law firm.
I have never dealt with such unprofessional character.
There was very offensive language used in an email that was mistakenly sent to the wrong person from this law firm. I would expect people working at such place would be more careful in their actions.
No apology was given from the person nor the handling attorney. Goes to show the moral in the practice.
Regardless if you are representing the plantiff or the defendant there is no reason to be rude when someone walks into your office. I felt very uncomfortable walking in there. The person got on the phone with the attorney regardimg why I was there, she made snobby comments right in front of me. Their unprofessional ethics is extreme.
