Constantine Zhukovsky

My ex and me have 2 beautiful girls and this is the story of them getting their father back :
I have made a horrible mistake signing a separation agreement with my ex-​wife in 2008: it granted her full legal and physical custody, had inadequate visitation schedule and no vacations provisioning. My lawyer at that time did not explain or warn me about the consequences. My hope was that we would have an amicable separation and I gave in to all ex’s requests at the time.
Things did not work out well in the next 3 years: I was denied any extra time with our children, my ex refused to grant me any vacation times with the kids and she sabotaged their relationship with their paternal grandparents. It was very difficult for me be a meaningful parent and father to our children. The situation has become unbearable.
I have contacted Constantine in 2011 and he agreed to help me and my children. He explained me the process, the law and how important it is for the children to have both mother and the father in their lives. We tried to negotiate and mediate with my ex-​wife and her lawyers but they had refused any compromise.
It took 3 long years with multiple hearings, false accusations, custody evaluation and, eventually, a trial. Constantine was extremely diligent, hard-​working, attentive to details and has also provided a lot of emotional support during this difficult process. His work ethics goes far beyond appraisal.
At the end, the judge ruled in the children’s favor and we’ve got everything we were asking for from the beginning: joint legal and physical custody, significant time-​share increase, half of the vacations and ability to travel overseas with the children so they could be enriched by the meaningful relationship with their extended family.
I am extremely grateful to Constantine for giving the children and me the opportunity to be in each others lives.

Before I met Constantine I was represented by different attorney, who basically ruined my divorce case by submitting to every demand of the opposite side and not doing his homework on my case.
My daughter was taken hostage by my Ex. Suddenly, after years of bond and good «father-​daughter» relationship, my daughter «decided» not to have any
contacts with me and my side of the family… Reason is very simple, less
time Father spends with his children MORE in child support he has to pay
to «the custodial parent” — Mother, just holds the child «hostage» and using
her to EXTORT more money from «the non-​custodial» parent — Father.
I was paying almost $ 4,500 per month in child and spousal support to my ex-​spouse which was literally ruining me financially, and meantime my Ex was purposely unemployed or underemployed during separation process as well as held our daughter hostage, severing our bond and preventing all contacts between me and my child.
I became desperate: I was NOT able to comply with the Support order I was
given by the Court, I was falling further and further behind in my support payments. I came to consult Constantine in his office one evening, he listened to me, he explained to me Family Law principles; he stressed how important to restore and keep contact between Father and child for the sake of my child.
Very unfortunately my employment was ended by employer (downsizing).
I needed to modify the amount of support I was ordered to pay when I had
my employment. My Ex opposed any changes. I consulted Constantine again
he explained me what needs to be done to modify support in my situation and gave me «homework» to get prepared for our next court hearing.
During our hearing on 10/​15/​2014 in Martinez Family Court on issue of my request for support modification Constantine undertook to represent me. He showed brilliant skills as a family law attorney and as a public speaker.
To make long story short, as result of Constantine’s work my payments in both child and spousal support were reduced by almost 85%.
I highly recommend Constantine Zhukovsky — he is honest, skillful and he will fight for you and your Children to the end! Keep relationship with your children! Do not let them to be held hostages by vindictive Ex; it will ruin
the lives of your children for good…

Getting to know Constantine Zhukovsky was a life changing for me when I found myself in troubles with my immigration status. Mr. Zhukovsky is a real professional. Besides his extreme professionalism Mr. Zhukovsky is just a very honest, reliable, and fun person to work with.
I was in a very tricky immigration-​related situation when I was introduced to Mr. Zhukovsky. Despite this fact, he was very clear with me and explained the whole process regarding my green card application, court trials, all documentation work, translation of the documents. He was very precise and professional about each step that I would have had to take, such as interviews with a judge and immigration officers. I was given a timeline. Mr. Zhukovsky took care of all the paperwork while being very accurate with documentation. Also, he was very honest while answering my questions and giving an evaluation of my case. We have been working for a few years together and he has always been very responsible in returning my phone calls and answering my email letters. Mr. Zhukovsky is very punctual; he was always in time for the trials and meetings. I always felt secure under the supervision of this professional.
Long story behind, a lot of things have passed and I became a legal permanent resident of the USA. I can barely describe how happy I am now. Thank you, Constantin, you are the best lawyer I have ever met.
