Jennifer Lucille Muskus

Ms Muskus represented me during some of my darkest days in 2007. I won't get into details, but she was beyond amazing and gave me strength to fight my fight! It took forever and was really nasty! I ended up with a divorce from an abusive man and custody of my children. I know this is an old case, bu...t because of this wonderful lady and her skills and professionalism, I am a proud mother to a paramedic and state trooper. I got the honor of raising them in a happy and healthy home because she didn't allow me to give up and gave my case her all. I will forever be grateful for Ms Muskus choosing to represent me.

I had never experienced divorce before, did not know what to expect and was relying on Jennifer to guide me through the process. The filing of paperwork was great but the legal guidance was lousy. She did not ask my witness the right questions. She just asked her if “there was anything she wanted to ...say”. Not familiar with what issues or questions that were important my witness didn’t give the right information that would have supported my case. Also, in a joint meeting with the defense attorney Jennifer gave out advice that cost me almost a thousand dollars and helped the defense’s client. After seeing other attorneys perform their job in court I would never hire her for any reason again.

In 2011 I lost custody of my two children while being represented by Ms. Muskus and was ordered to pay child support to my abusive husband. I was in class at the time trying to make a job change I had inconsistent work hours the judge didn’t understand that this was a temporary situation and my lawy...er didn’t really say what she needed to say to prove my case.Ms. Muskus lost the case I was devastated, but all Ms. Muskus could think about was getting her check. My faith in the legal system was shattered then and I still feel the same today.My children and I were victims of the legal system. Ms. Muskus ruined my life in one court case and I’m still trying to pick up the pieces.

My representation was not as adequate or thorough as the lawyer for the defendant. Since working with Jennifer I've seen how lawyers pled cases, the language they use, how they present the evidence. As my lawyer I expect her know what kind of questions that should be asked. She failed to provide suff...icient guidance to my witness as far as questions to be asked that would reveal information that prove my case. She did not adequately challenge what the dependant said on followup nor challenge with followup questions. On appeal she helped the defendant by giving his attorney advice that helped his client. On appeal she was present in the courtroom but said nothing. She left my defense to an attorney I did not choose and his performance was a joke. I knew I had lost my case by the reaction of the three judges. I felt I paid her to just file court papers because the representation was totally insufficient and inadequate. We did not have a pre-appeal meeting to jointly prepare for the appeal court date which I asked for and was told we would talk before the court session. She arrived late and I did not like her approach to presenting my case but it was to late to change approach. I lost my case. Now that I have seen how good lawyers perform, I regret hiring Jennifer and would not recommend her to anyone else.

When I met Jennifer, I was a mess. I was lost, unable to focus at work and home. I had two infants at the time and she was referred to me by my bff., This was the best meeting during my worst time. Not only has she been a listening ear and counselor, she's been very attentive to my family needs. ... Although my case started in 2011 and eventually ended in 2012, I continue to reach out to Jennifer regarding the aftermath of divorce. She's truly knowledgeable and has the best interest in mind for my family. She's irreplaceable and I will continue to recommend her services to all in need. Thanks Muskus & Muskus, I truly appreciate you.
