Jessica E. Zadjura

My ex wife and I have been divorced for 4 years last year. In our divorce decree it stated the custody schedule would be re-evaluated once my son had entered the 1st grade. It went from seeing him once every other Saturday to me having my son every other weekend. Once we transitioned into this new... schedule it was suggested that we would review the schedule after six months to see how my has son reacted. Six months later, it was suggested that my ex and I should have 50/50 custody. After hearing this my ex stormed off and everything went downhill. My ex believes that my values, concerns, and judgement are insignificant. She didn't like my wife or my stepchildren. She would come to my house in a hostile manner and show this behavior in front of my son as well as my stepchildren. She kept accusing my family of abusing my son. She kept my son away from me and would tell him the worst things possible about me. I attended two mediation sessions with her and she practically wanted me to give up my rights. There was no reasoning with her. So I hopped online and found Arn family law. After talking to Jessica, she made me feel confident and secure that I will be able to get more time with my son. She also assured me that I would have a written schedule that would help eliminate the stress that I was enduring. After my ex was served she hires one of the most expensive law firms in Howard County. I wanted shared custody and my ex countered and wanted sole custody of our son. I was nervous because my ex and I had polar opposite views, but Jessica reassured me that everythimg would be fine. Before our mediation with Jessica pretty much gave me realistic expectations of the session. If the mediation went right then we wouldn't have to go to court. Everyone was tired, but my ex was still resistant. Her lawyer advices her that if she wouldn't agree then we would have to go to court and waste money and time. Jessica had my best interest in mind as well as my sons. When it seemed like my ex would lie, Jessica was able to find the truth. Fathers usually lose a lot in these cases and are overlooked. Jessica ensured that I would get realistic expectations and fight for my rights as a father. You would think once court documents were signed the madness would stop. However, my ex thinks she's above our court orders and refused to follow them. I contacted Jessica again and she follwed up with my ex's attorney. Let's just say my ex has no problem following our court orders now.

Sometimes life comes at you with a kick to the head. We hope it never will but so,etimes it just does. When that happens you need someone with the same values and integrity you have plus knows what to do and how to do it. I lucked into having Jessica represent me. Jessica's expertise and commitment ...to me was the difference in bringing a bad situation to conclusion. Hopefully by making this recommendation, others will be able to find Jessica and get the same support without resorting to luck!

I secured Ms. Zadjura services through the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the purpose of obtaining a divorce. Although my case was pro bono, the service she provided me was excellent and always done in an impeccably professional manner. She completed all task in a timely manner with EXCEPTIONAL att...ention to details. She demonstrated a superior knowledge of the law. She kept me informed and up to date on the status of my case at all times. She demonstrated a dedication to her profession and the work she was doing for me. Ms. Zadjura was respectful, kind and compassionate at all times. I would highly recommend her and would do so with complete confidence that she would provide the same quality services to anyone she might represent.

I enlisted Ms. Zadjura's services for my divorce, and again several years later for a custody/child support modification. Not only is she easy to talk to, but also very knowledgeable and hard-working. She was thorough in working on my case and presenting various options we could pursue. I never fe...lt rushed when communicating with her, and she always kept me apprised of all goings-on in a timely manner. In the event I ever need an attorney for a family law matter again, she will be my first call.

From the first time I met with Jessica concerning my divorce, I felt very much at ease that I made the right decision to retain her services. Her level of expertise and desire to answer all my questions confidently was exactly what I had expected and received every single time I communicated with her.... Jessica was always prompt when responding to my emails and always fair in her advice and legal guidance.
