This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don’t waste your time or money

Ms. Zoschak did not do discovery, did not prepare for my MESP and refused to talk to me about the panels conclusion. I was not told until after it already started that I couldn’t attend. She was supposed to call me right afterwards, but never did. I called and emailed her for 9 days until I finally w...ent down to her office. She wasn’t in. She never is. Another lawyer called her and told me while she was on the phone that it wasn’t a good deal and not to take it. Jen didn’t even have the decency to talk to me herself because she knew she messed up, big time! After that I pleaded with her to at least get my rightful amount of child support. She lead me on for months, but never actually applied. I’ve lost out on thousands of dollars of support. I make 1/5 the income my husband does. I have a permanent restraining order against him and she refused to help me get my support and also refused to get him to pay the kids court ordered medical bills. My children’s primary doctor refuses to see them since his share of the balance is so outstanding. Jen doesn’t care that my kids and I are struggling. I wanted a lawyer who would fight for me. She won’t even return my phone calls or emails. Jen let me down. I would have been better off representing myself.

I was the third attorney on this case. Enough said. Discovery was completed before I was retained.

A person you want on your side!

Jennifer was an amazing legal resource and a tremendous source of support. She listened to all of my concerns, addressed each of them, talked me through the pro's and con's of all actions, and then executed our plan just as we had discussed. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a to...ugh situation: domestic violence or divorce.

Jennifer goes above and beyond for her clients, as if you were her family.

Jennifer is the most caring lawyer I have ever had the priveledge of knowing. Going through a divorce was the hardest thing I ever had to do and I know I couldn't have gotten through it without her. Jennifer makes sure that you are always informed with what is going on, she is very prompt in answerin...g back phone calls and will go the extra mile for you. She is open and honest and looks out for your best interests. She made sure everything was done as promptly and accurately as possible, she never made me feel uncomfortable about anything. I couldn't thank her enough for everything that she has done for me. When you go through a divorce your emotions are all over the place and she understood that, and was very patient and caring with what was going on. She will make sure you get the best legal advice possible!

Great divorce attorney

In interviewing divorce attorneys, I met with Jennifer and she obviously knew her stuff. She is incredibly sharp and tough yet with excellent listening skills and gives succinct, pertinent and trustworthy advice throughout the entire divorce process. She knew the ins and outs of my case any time I co...ntacted her, had all the dates, issues, motions and responses down cold and kept me informed. Almost 3 years later, her contact info is still in my phone and she is there when, unfortunately, something new comes up with my ex. She's direct, efficient, practical, caring and works 100% for the best interest of her client. Her empathy and calm was incredibly reassuring through the entire divorce process which was very stressful and difficult. She knows what to do, how to do it and does it with integrity. My ex-husband went through numerous attorneys/ law firms before the divorce settlement was put into effect & since. Jennifer is still there and still doing a great job. I have recommended her without hesitation to friends & colleagues when asked if I know a good divorce attorney.

Divorce lawyer

Jennifer was difficult to get a hold of during my divorce process. She never responded to my Emails. My phone calls were not returned within an acceptable time frame. She also did not keep me informed. Most of the information I obtained was from my ex's lawyer.

Since all of my cleints know that I do not operate in e-mail, I have to question the validity of the comment. If you want an attorney who will commnicate thru e-mail (which I believe is not secure and can be hacked into by your future-ex-spouse) I am not for you.
