John Karl Puskar

For a number of weeks prior to our custody trial, he didn't answer emails or calls with two exceptions. Two weeks before our trial, I sent an email and got an auto-responder saying he would be back from vacation the day before our pretrial statement was due. He actually didn't turn in any of th...e evidence with the statement so the judge didn't see any of the three inch thick pile of evidence I had prepared and organized into a google drive. So all he really ever got during our two days of trial was a he said/she said argument with nothing to back it up - except for the incomplete, chauvinistic custody evaluation. Twice, this attorney replied to my emails in the last month and he directed me to file PFAs on my son's behalf which I was reprimanded for in the courtroom because that wasn't the correct motion to make in a custody situation. Meanwhile the attorney was home packing his bags for a vacation. He just didn't want to be bothered and the judge ultimately accused me of misusing the legal system to wrongfully withhold custody. He allowed a custody evaluation that wasn't even completed (the broad-based personality assessments and parenting questionnaires weren't completed by "father"), to be admitted to court. I paid $7,000 to get that evaluation because the father is mentally ill and poses a threat to my child's safety! Everyone from the doctor to the judge to this attorney, treated these evaluations like their just some kind of expensive joke. I really don't think anyone in the legal system cares about the well-being of a child, certainly not mine. They're all collecting paychecks but no one is doing their job... Unfortunately, my little boy is the one who has to endure the heinous abuse of his biological perpetrator for the next nine years!

John (Jack) Puškar is a exceptional perfectionist that takes every thing that I asked him as if that it happened to him personally as it did to me. Majority of the lawyers that I've had to deal with always wanted to seem understanding but, they weren't nearly as empathetic and compassionate as Jack h...as been. Even from the consult to court room, his demeanor never changed. The judge not only understood the dire situation I was in, but he could see the pain through Jack's exceptional explanations. His amazing capability to adapt quickly to questions that were being asked during cross examination left the opposing council almost unable to examine any of our witnesses because, his questions left little to no doubt in everyones mind that the witnesses he questioned provided tangible information that left little to non to be disputed. His closing argument was so exceptional that even if everything prior to the case was fumbled along the way, he still conveyed to the court that I deserved what I was requesting. I am forever grateful for his services as he helped me attrain what other attorneys simply couldn't. I'm forever greatful.
