Eric W. Zaeske is an award-winning family law attorney who has represented clients throughout the Milwaukee area for more than three decades. His practice is devoted entirely to divorce and family law, with particular focus on divorce, child custody and placement, child support, and spousal maintenance.

Eric believes clients deserve the truth. He sets clear, realistic expectations from the first conversation so that clients understand what can happen as their case progresses—and never feel blindsided along the way. That candor, paired with a talent for finding creative solutions to difficult problems, has earned him a reputation as an attorney who is both trustworthy and effective.

A certified collaborative law practitioner, Eric is a strong believer in resolving family disputes outside the courtroom whenever it serves the client’s interests. He is a frequent speaker and participant in local and national collaborative law trainings and an active member of the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin. When a case does require litigation, however, clients get a prepared, seasoned advocate who has tried family law matters in courts across the region for most of his career.

Eric’s work has been recognized repeatedly by his peers and by independent rating services. He has been named a Super Lawyer three years running, rated a Top Lawyer by Avvo, and recognized among Milwaukee’s top attorneys for Divorce & Separation and for Family Law by Milwaukee Lifestyle Magazine. He remains active in several county and specialty bar organizations, including the Leander J. Foley Jr. Society of Family Lawyers.

Shannon did an amazing job on my divorce case. She is very caring, hard working, timely and professional! She also is an amazing advocate! Shannon is also well respected amongst her peers and for good reason.

Al — in Appleton

My wife/ex wife filed for divorce (my fault). I talked to a couple firms that you hear advertise on local radio. They didn’t seem too interested in specific situation. When I spoke with Karp and Iancu it just felt different. He let me talk about my questions, concerns and then answered my questions. The team assigned to my case were thorough and always available to help walk me through this.

Shannon is the best of the best. She worked very hard to get to know me before coming up with a strategy to best handle my case, and I could not have asked for more effort or dedication from her.

“If you are looking for a family lawyer, I would highly recommend David Iancu and his team. David is a dedicated professional who listens, cares, prepares thoroughly and executes effectively on behalf of his clients. From the very first meeting, David took time to really understand my situation, answered all questions related to family law, and made me feel comfortable by not telling me what I wanted to hear but truth. David genuinely cared about helping me bring my case to the best outcome possible. I am glad I had David on my side as a true partner during a challenging time in my life!”

Making the decision to end any marriage, especially a long-term one, is daunting. From pre-filing consultations to a caring phone call on the morning of finalization, Shannon dedicated herself to making sure I knew what to expect every step of the way.
