Oversaw Complaint Divorce

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.

Ms Muskus is my Angel! she is the vessel God used to give me a shot at life again,she is trustworthy, intense, knowlwdgeable.

Ms Muskus, is a very good lawyer who immerses herself into your case, treating it like you are her only client! she is very thorough, leaving no stone unturned. Ms Muskus represented in my very nasty divorce case. before i met Ms Muskus, i had two previous attorneys who were terrible, and lacked the... work ethics and attention to detail like ms Muskus. she was never too busy for me, took her time to read my ex's diary to understand my own peculiar situation, watched our home videos, pictures. wahtever it took, she was always going the extra mile. took her time to educate me on aspect of my divorce i did not undertand. was always in court with me, very puntual.she also kept me imformed every step of the way. financial, she worked with me, making it easy on me making my payment.i thank God for sending me such an angel in my time of need.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
