Great

Janet worked on Will for us and she did a great job. I also want to say that Janet has a great personality, down to earth & explains everything so well! Thank you Janet, can’t believe I had so much fun signing paper for a Will!

Posted by Scott | July 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Beware, I trusted her at her word. She was more interested in the other lawyer than my case.

I should have read the reviews and Fine print. What started off as amicable in my case quickly became a personal battle between lawyers dragging out the case. Unfortunately I was left paying the price. Literally! Then after 4 month with almost no contact I received a bill 4 times that of my ret...ainer that was in place. I had to ask for an itemized list to find out why the bill was so, high. She refused to discuss the charges such as late fees, interest, and for documents I filed myself. Most of the bill contained time she was fighting with opposing counsel, and discussions as to why my case was dropped and my child support calculations being incorrect (missing my numbers). Still refusing to explain, Janet then reduced the bill a percentage, and I reluctantly payed with-in 3 business days. Only to find out she had already put a lean on my house in March (during Covid lockdown) and now refuses to remove the lean. I am just a single father trying to take care of my daughter. 10 k is a lot of money to me, and I still have to find another lawyer to finish my case, and fix her errors. I am now being threatened with late night text, personal emails, and legal action to remove my opinion. I don’t like to say negative things about people , however it is important to help other people to avoid making the same mistakes I did.

Very professional and knowledgeable

I had a very complicated business case and was getting divorced at the time. I chose Janet because she is very experienced in both areas of law. No surprises. She explained everything in a way I could understand. She even told me before stuff happened. She was prepared and she made sure I was t...oo.

I highly recommend Janet Ziulkowski

Janet is exceptionally passionate about helping those in need. Many of my clients are indigent and on the verge of homelessness, and if they have questions about bankruptcy law, I always refer them to Janet. My clients have told me how helpful, knowledgeable, and caring she is; they feel comfortable ...talking to her about their finances and all of their options for relief and a fresh start. Janet can often be found volunteering her time giving pro bono legal advice to people in our community who really need guidance. Her passion to help others is contagious and commendable. I would highly recommend Janet Ziulkowski to anyone in need of advice regarding a bankruptcy or family law matter.

Highly Reccomend Janet Ziulkowski

My husband and I interviewed several lawyers to handle our bankruptcy case. We wanted the best and we found her. Janet thoroughly reviewed our information and gave us sound advice. Both she and her staff were very responsive to our questions and concerns. She even helped us with our mortgage modi...fication when the mortgage company refused to honor it. She made them stand by their agreement. She saved our home and our future. I have referred her to several friends and they have all been very happy with her services.
