Jennifer Lucille Muskus

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.

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.

I contacted this lawyer to ask a question about one of the vehicles that is in my name. I'm not sure if I actually spoke to this lawyer or someone in her office. (I think the lady's name was Charley) However, she cut me off before I could finish asking my question and told me they could not help me u...ntil my husband and I are living separately. I thought that was so rude. I chose this lawyer because of the rating on Avvo and thought about maybe retaining her. But this phone consultation has changed my mind. I will seek another attorney. I need an attorney who will at least listen to me.

When I met Jennifer in 2009 it was under fairly extreme circumstances. My husband had intentionally abandoned me and, with the assistance of my former in-laws, he took my child and everything of value from our home only weeks after I got a job. I came home to a mostly empty house and a note on the ...counter. Not only had he transferred everyone (and everything) into another home, all three individuals left the state with my (at the time) infant in tow. The situation did not allow a great amount of time for response, and I didn't know how to react because I had never been exposed to that type of radical, malicious behavior. I had no where to turn and no one that would help. I had separated from the military to have my child. Though we lived on a military installation, the military would not provide any assistance because he was still serving. I was told our case was to be dealt with via private sector. To make matters worse 911 would not respond because we lived on base. They informed me that the base was not their jurisdiction. My spouse had also come between my family members and I. They believed he was a good man, so I was in a catch 22. After calling every local authority/agency for several days while trying to retain composure at my new job, I found Jennifer by the grace of G-d through a women's help hotline. I wasn't able to eat or sleep and was in terrible condition when we met. We took things one day at a time though and fought through the most strenuous of circumstances. Over the years, my ex and his parents have made attempts at every turn to degrade my character and ruin my integrity in an effort to remove my child from my care. And each time, Jennifer has given sound advice on how to react to their antagonistic mannerisms. She listened when I was full of anxiety, empathized when I was fearful, and she was my rock when, many times, no one else was willing and/or able to offer solid support. Jennifer and I have worked together since 2009 and from day one she has been genuine and supportive. Without her expertise and willingness to act quickly my former spouse would have succeeded in taking my child and disappearing to another state for more than just a short amount of time. In the past 6+ years we have learned many lessons together about the legal system, peoples' character (or lack thereof), the military and Federal government, support systems and what to do when they fail, as well as how we both respond to excessive amounts of stress. I believe in Jennifer so much that, even though my child and I moved to a neighboring state years ago to be close to work, I still travel back to Maryland to do court procedures. My case will be in the legal system for the foreseeable future and the only thing I know for certain is the fact that I do not want anyone else by my side. Jennifer has proven herself to be fair, to play by the rules (especially when the opposing party vehemently chooses not to follow a moral high ground), and she has time after time shown she is loyal and caring, and if that isn't great customer service in a field as difficult as the legal system, I don't know what is.

In August 2013 I was faced/forced with the difficult task of finding and retaining a divorce attorney. A friend recommended Jennifer Muskus on Allentown Rd in Fort Washington/Oxon Hill Md. Once I got an appointment I met with Jennifer Muskus. After that initial meeting with her, I knew she was "Th...e One and Only" divorce attorney I had to meet. Jennifer Muskus was very professional, knowledgeable and likable, which all were very important to me. From day one Jennifer Muskus kept me informed of every aspect of my case, whether it was an important detail or just to keep me posted on what she was doing. It seemed as though I was her most important client. My divorce process started in August 2013 from the first meeting until the divorce court date June 2014. During that time frame Jennifer Muskus prepared my case as if I had a billion dollar law suit. She is diligent and I could see the fire and desire within her to win this case for me. During the actual trial date in June 2014, Jennifer Muskus continued to research laws up until the trial began. This was my first time ever having to retain an attorney. In watching her in the courtroom during the trial was like watching a work of art live. She was very intense, attentive and always seemed to be a step ahead of the opposition. When the case was over and all was said and done, the judge ruled in my favor owing my ex wife $0.00. I attribute everything first to God, and then to Jennifer Muskus for what was my "Super Bowl Championship". Eight months has passed, and Jennifer continues to reach out to me inquiring about my life status. I am grateful for her parents that had her and her desire to complete law school. Jennifer Muskus is absolutely "The Best Divorce Attorney" in my book. I would highly recommend her to any and everyone whom needs a divorce attorney. Thank you Jennifer from the bottom of my heart.
