Welcome

A trusted advocate since 2002

For more than two decades, Zapalski Law has been proud to serve clients in difficult situations. A large part of the practice is litigation — complex business disputes and contested matters in state and federal courts — supported by the firm's tax and accounting knowledge, so we can see your whole picture rather than just one piece of it.

Whether you are fighting a lawsuit, facing a criminal charge, resolving an IRS matter, or planning the next stage of your business, you work directly with an experienced attorney who holds an advanced law degree (LL.M.) and treats your matter with discretion and care.
