My custody was on the line and she did nothing ! Ms. Zwierchowski royally screwed me. I hired her as my attorney. It was for a child support and custody case. I explained to her that once we file this that the mother would file more things and it will be a battle. She was fully on board and made me feel confident. She was never very punctual but I chalked it up to possibly have any good attorney. As soon as we file the paperwork, the respondent responded with tons and tons of paperwork against us. I got BURIED in paper work from the recipients attorney. I began emailing, calling, texting Ms. zwierchowski and she would barely file paperwork at the last minute and never respond to my personal messages. I got so overwhelmed that my court date was in days and she had done nothing! I fired her and hired a great attorney (message me for her info! She's amazing!). And my new attorney , judge, and entire courtroom couldn't believe how little work Ms. Zwierchowski did and were all appauled. I ended up winning the entire case because all I need was an attorney to be my voice. I had all the evidence. Do NOT hire this person if your kids mean anything to you. read more

I worked with Agata from 2019 to 2021 as she helped with my family law case. She is a good person who means well. When we spoke on the phone, she always took the necessary time to explain her professional opinion and the possible view from the court's perspective. She exemplified caring about my situation and I believe that Agata provided me with her best advice for the situation. Where she really shines is litigation. On the occasions we went to court, she definitely threw the gloves on and fought for the case. Unfortunately, no attorney is perfect. There were some shortfalls within my experience: 1. Administrative - To my knowledge, there was no paralegal employed in the office. There are a lot of moving parts to each case and I felt Agata was a little over her head. The time it took to get a problem resolved took longer than expected due to this. There was an instance where Agata followed up with the opposing party, only for everyone to realize she had not even sent the e-mail for the opposing party to actually respond to. 2. Communication - For the most part, Agata replied within 24 hours when I would leave a voicemail. However, there were numerous occasions where I did not hear back for days. While completely understandable that personal issues may arise, the lack of communication was noted as a considerable weakness, especially when clients and opposing parties are waiting on hearing back from your lawyer to move forward. I wasn't notified all the time if she received my emails. If she replied that she would do something by a certain date, a lot of the time the deadline was not met. I had to follow up with Agata on multiple occasions to get an update on my case, so it was difficult to know if anything had been done. It came to a point where I had to state that I was not paying for follow up emails. COVID aside, my case dragged on partly due to this factor. 3. Limited Proactiveness - While Agata was proactive in fighting for me during litigation, she was not as strong in being proactive with solutions outside the courtroom. As with any family law case, it's a stressful and arduous experience for everyone. A good lawyer makes you feel like someone has your back through this tough time. Unfortunately, this was not the case in my opinion and how I felt overall. Agata is a kind person who means well. If you're looking for someone with a strong litigation background and think you may go to court, Agata may be a good fit. If you have expectations for strong communication and exceptional administrative qualities, keep interviewing lawyers. read more

Agata was a complete lifesaver. I came to her in 2015 - after I had dropped my first divorce attorney - I had tried to communicate and settle with my ex on my own but I knew I needed someone that: 1. Specialized in Family Law 2. Would be strong enough to advocate for me 3. Would not just consider me another client Agata was all of that and much more. She was able to QUICKLY fix what the former attorney had not been able to do. She secured a court date within weeks from when I retained her. She was present at every court date and was very warm. She knew that I was not a pushover, but that I needed legal counseling in every step of the way. She showed me what the Law stated and educated me. She allowed me to make decisions and when she did not think it was the best move, she would tell me so. She would always give me pros and cons. She also stood up for me in front of my ex in court and against his attorney. She was AMAZING at wearing the hat of attorney representing the client and human being as well. She has a job to do and takes it serious when "in the ring." I am proud to say that retaining her was one of the best decisions I did in my divorce and of course, I wish I would have found her sooner! read more

My mom passed away without a will when I was barely 20 years old. What ensued was a very bitter, nasty and long litigation fight between my family members and I as I tried to wrestle back control of my mom's estate. Agata was my legal counsel throughout that entire fight and truthfully, I don't think I would've been able to do it without her. I was young and completely unprepared for the emotional, physical and mental toll of litigation but Agata made sure that she was with me every step of the way. She was very hands-on, often driving far to appear personally in court hearings instead of sending proxies; she would meet with me and discuss the method to her strategies - presenting me with options and the pros and cons of each, ultimately letting me decide as to the best course of action based on my own needs and goals; she was completely transparent about the litigation process and she set the right expectations for both parties. My case had a lot of nuances to it but I'm amazed at her incredible resolve and strong sense of justice to carry it through. Not only is she very smart, but she is a compassionate human being that genuinely wants to help others. In an industry where lawyers are associated with sleaziness - Agata is a breath of fresh air. During the most difficult moments of my life, Agata was one of the people who helped me get through it - both as a lawyer and a human being. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Agata represented me on a post-judgment support issue. She was very caring and responsive and I felt supported throughout the entire process. She helped to calm my anxiety and prepared me well for the hearing. I was very happy with the results. She even got the attorney fees paid by the other side! I highly recommend her and her firm! read more

Ms. Zwierzchowski provided me with legal representation from December 2011 to February 2014 to gain legal parentage for a non-biological parent in a same-sex relationship. After having been denied assistance from several other attorneys, Ms. Zwierzchowski took my case because she understood the need to keep same-sex families intact after the dissolution of the relationship in the best interest of children in spite of the fact that laws do not facilitate this situation. She also understood and was willing to advocate for the non-biological parent. The case was complex and difficult, but Ms. Zwierzchowski was persistent and courageous in the face of obstacles. Her commitment to the belief that non-biological parents have equal rights to biological parents to raise their children was the foundation of the successful outcome of the case. She is well versed in family case law and willing to use her professional networks to develop legal strategy. I highly recommend her. read more
