Had to Hire a New Attorney Due to Lack of Response

My experience with Jessica Zadjura was unfortunately not positive. Communication was a consistent problem—my emails and calls often went unanswered, and an updated MSA sent by my husband’s lawyer was never forwarded to me despite my requests. Because of these communication issues, my divorce process ...was delayed, and I had to hire a new attorney to complete the case, resulting in unnecessary stress and added legal expenses. I am sharing this review to help others make an informed decision.

Empathetic, Straightforward, with Great Attention to Detail

Jessica came highly recommended to me by a good friend. Since she took my case, she has steadfast in my corner. She's given great legal advice as well as great advice as a newly single father related to co-parenting. With her help, I was able to settle my divorce with an MSA agreement that was ove...rwhelmingly in my favor. My divorce was finalized in exactly 6 months from the date of our separation. There were a couple times where her responsiveness in communication was not the timeliest. She is in high demand and very busy-- and for good reason. However, that was largely overshadowed by the tremendously great job she did with my case, and I am eternally grateful for your help during one of the worst times in my life. Additionally, I felt that her prices were reasonable as far as divorce attorneys are concerned. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Very satisfied customer!

Jessica helped me through the whole custody process. She assured me, made me feel confident of the outcome and her ability and knowledge. I loved her honesty and gave me all the best options for my case. She made her self very available, and was a pleasure to talk to and work with. I recommend her fo...r any person who has to go through a divorce or custody arrangement. under her legal advice and skill, i now have custody rights to my children and am able to build better relationships to them. Thank you Jessica

Grounded and present

I have worked with Jessica Zadjura twice. Ms. Zadjura was honest, fast and financially as fair as the law would allow her. She got the ball rolling immediately for my separaration, and my modification, which so worked in my favor. I could count on honest and clear explanation regarding each step ...of my cases and was never expected know attorney jargon. I would not hesitate to hire ms. Zadjura in the future if need be.

Divorce

I found this law firm on the internet. I was impressed with the information I found in a booklet regarding Divorce on the firm's web page. I had hired an attorney to handle my divorce that I was not happy with and decided to look for a new attorney. I was impressed with Jessica because she had a l...ist of things that she needed to work on to help me with my case the very first time that I met her in the office. I gave her copies of the information that she requested on my second meeting and she started working on my case right away. She wrote a letter to my former attorney telling him that I had hired her to replace him and then she started gathering the other information that she needed to get started. She was very efficient and only called me or e-mailed me when she needed to. She got things done and I trusted her completely. Every time we had to go to Court she was on time. Whenever I had questions, she answered them right away. I am so glad that I found that web page with the Divorce booklet on it. It was not long before I got the results that I wanted. I was also very happy with the law firm because they cared about me not just about money.
