Lilia Walewski’s review
November 8,, 2024
Once divorced, most individuals move on, but I was unfortunate to have an “ex” intent on causing trouble. No matter how stressful and costly, I needed an expert lawyer and legal team to protect my interests. With an “ex” like mine, it was imperative to immediately address his breach of contract and non-compliance with other matters. Once more, I contacted Irons & Irons for their outstanding legal services. Gib Irons recommended a new and exceptional member of their team, Robert Zaslow, an attorney with thirty years of family law experience.
Mr. Zaslow quickly learned about my case and took the first step. He informed my “ex” that he had signed a contract that he was not free to alter. Failure to comply with contractual obligations would lead to litigation. The easiest and least costly option was to comply (in my case, pay alimony on time and in total).
After my “ex” ignored Mr. Zaslow’s correspondence, we had to take the next step. Several Court filings persuaded my “ex” to pay what he owed me, but he refused to cover the legal fees I had incurred. Per our contract, if one party breaches an agreement, the other party can ask for legal fees. Another matter involved a No Contact clause in our Equitable Distribution Agreement, which prohibits my “ex” from contacting me and vice versa, a clause my “ex” had ignored.
We had no choice but to go to Court. When I arrived at the Courthouse, Mr. Zaslow took precautions to protect me. As we entered the courtroom, he informed the bailiff I had an NC No Contact provision and a Protective Order from another state.
While the judge and attorneys present discussed the day’s docket, my “ex” took advantage and approached me. His voice alerted Mr. Zaslow, who spun around and instructed my “ex” to walk away. The bailiff rushed over immediately and ordered my “ex” to step away, an order he had to repeat twice before my “ex” complied.
When the Judge was ready to hear our case, Mr. Zaslow delivered every critical point to recover legal fees and highlight my “ex’s” multiple violations of NC’s No Contact clause. He was masterful in clearly setting up the case and methodically offering evidence to corroborate his points. Mr. Zaslow knows how to deliver a compelling narrative that captures a judge’s attention and brilliantly grounds the argument presented in the law. The judge ruled in our favor.
Additionally, since I face continuing litigation in another state, Mr. Zaslow went the extra mile to secure copies of the hearing’s recording. He shared this valuable material with me, my lawyer in the state where I reside, and the State Attorney’s prosecutor handling a separate criminal complaint.
During these many hearings, I’ve relied on my lawyers, a highly skillful mediator, fair judges, court personnel, and police officers. Certainly, Irons & Irons is at the top of my list of invaluable professionals. Thank you, Gib Irons, Robert Zaslow, and the best paralegal in the world, Kaitlyn Gonzalez. Your superb support since early December 2021 (when I first called) has contributed to my new life, a happy one if it weren’t for my “ex’s” behavior. That, too, shall pass, and in the meantime, I am exceedingly grateful knowing you have my back.

01/31/2023. I went in with crutches and two knee stabilizers. They referred me to an Illinois attorney, this attorney didn't care either. My accident happened in Richmond, Virginia. The company is from Illinois. I live in NC. I was a truck driver who lived in NC and paid taxes in NC. These guys don't know crap about personal injury in a truck company! This company didn't care! Great west casualties. You guys don’t care and you won’t try at all to help.
Yes, I got a settlement without you guys screwing it up! Just remember that you hide from a job and you won't get paid.

I’ve always had a great experience working with Ricci’s Law Firm, and this recent case was no exception. Case manager Cree and attorneys David and Jonathan made a fantastic team. Cree was exceptional from start to finish, bringing a level of warmth, empathy, and professionalism that made me feel genuinely cared for. She was always available to answer questions, provided clear explanations of every detail, and kept me updated on each step of the case. Cree’s responsiveness and dedication were impressive, treating me with the same care and attention as if I were family.
David, who originally started my case, brought a high level of skill and precision. He worked diligently from the outset, laying a solid foundation by gathering all the details and carefully constructing a case strategy that addressed every angle. David’s commitment to detail and his proactive approach gave me complete confidence, and he made sure everything was set up for a smooth handoff. His thorough preparation was instrumental in the overall success of the case.
When Jonathan took over, he stepped in seamlessly, showing the same level of expertise, thoroughness, and dedication to understanding every detail. His ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a straightforward and reassuring way made a real difference, and he ensured I was always informed and comfortable with each development. Jonathan’s commitment and skill were crucial to the success of my case, and he approached every challenge with focus and determination.
Ricci’s Law Firm consistently goes above and beyond, making each experience as seamless as possible. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking a team that genuinely cares and delivers excellent service! Thank You!
