Friendly and knowledgable lawyer :-)

Jessica Zadjura represented me in divorce court in 2011 from an abusive spouse whom I had just recently married. My ex had made a public threat against me on social media and I was in fear of my safety so decided not to come home. The next day I went with my mom to get my stuff and a woman was leavi...ng our apartment. Jessica was able to convince this woman to represent me in court against my ex even though she at first had said she didn’t want to b/c she was also by now in fear of him even though they were no longer at this time. My ex had vacated our apartment after saying he would be responsible for the bills, the landlord was pursuing me b/c of my ex vacating. Jessica was able to get the landlord to agree to go after my ex b/c she successfully prove adultery and abuse in our relationship. The landlord accepted that had my ex not been abusive I would not have vacated our apartment. When my ex left he stole several valuable items from me that he had refused to allow me to take when I had gone back to get my stuff on a second trip, he had changed the locks preventing me access. He left the apartment in “an unsanitary condition” that caused concern for the health safety of other tenants and the landlord b/c of Jessica agreed to go after my ex rather than me not just for the rent owed but also for the damages done to the apartment. Had it not been for Jessica representing me in court in 2011 I still probably would be legally married to this man as he was unwilling to participate in the divorce proceedings. During cross examination in the divorce trial Jessica not only had his previous girlfriend whom he had cheated on me with testify but she also got my ex to admit to having cheated on me with five other women during three and a half months since we’d been married. If you are looking for an exceptional attorney to help you out of a difficult divorce with a partner who is unwilling to allow you to move on with your life I strongly recommend retaining her. She is a valuable partner in your corner and a force to be reckoned with in the court room. I am eternally grateful to her for all the hours she put in on my case and her allowing me to get out of a bad situation with little more than charged up credit cards that he had created without my knowledge and charged up. I was told I’d have to pursue him in civil court and that would cost me money and there was no promise that he would ever pay it. So I didn’t mind taking that loss considering all the other things Jessica was able to help me get out of including marriage to someone who had fooled me so well.
