John J. Danielski

I would never recommended this firm to anyone after the way they treated me. All I wanted was to opt back into friend of the court, get my ex- husbands rears on record & be able to claim my 3 children on tax returns. First of all he shuffled me off to his partner Burger without even telling me he wa...s going to do this. All of my goals we're meet at 1 hearing in front of a referee at the FOC building. Mr. Danielski charged me $2,500.00 up front & I was told by Mr. Burger that I had a credit of $1,300.00+ left on my account. When I asked for the money that was left over.......all of a sudden Mr. Danielski came forth trying to say it was a "flat fee" case. There was never a " flat fee" case discussed. This man, whom has never meet me called me a liar & a bully for me wanting the monies that were not used to be given back to me. The people who recommended him to me cannot believe how he has done me & how harsh he tried to degrade me!

I came to John out of money, exhausted and afraid, he lowered his retainer for me and took my case. I was worried that I would not get a fair divorce as my husband always controlled everything. But at the very first hearing he started getting me alimony, something I desperately needed and am still re...ceiving to this day. Without him, I don't know what would've happened to me.

Thank u John for helping me when I needed it most. I am so grateful that I now have a house to live in with alimony, child support and custody of my children. I was worried that the judge was going to believe my husband's lies; but, thank u for never giving up and showing her the truth. I also tha...nk u for giving me a break on ur fees and making my husband pay for them. MH

Originally, I hired another lawyer for my divorce, and he tried to cram a settlement offer from my ex-wife's attorney down my throat, however, I then decided to change lawyers and hired John. My ex-wife wanted over a thousand dollars of alimony and full custody of the kids, however, after a year... long battle, I ended up paying less than $500 a month in alimony, and I received joint custody with 50% parenting time of my kids. I am so grateful to John, and he did it at a reasonable price. Thank you John. SM.

He got my husband to admit to always leaving me alone to figure out a way to deal with every problem that ever came up with the kids and everything. And then to having to use the only money I ever got ahold of to take care of our sick daughter and also our oldest son when he was sick and off work th...at summer and my husband refused to help them. John first asked him if he said in his deposition that our son was a responsible adult. My husband did not remember if he said it or not so he had him read the deposition transcript aloud. Then John started asking my husband if he went to the state office with our daughter to try to get her assistance and he got him to admit that Medicaid was closed to new people cause too many people were on it. He asked him if she got food stamps and he said No which is not true - she did get them and the judge has been told that was all she got all along. So then John asked "So even though your son is a responsible person and your daughter could not get on Medicaid, did you tell your wife not to help them when they were off work sick and when your daughter needed medical help?" My husband says "Yes I told her she was not supposed to help them. Absolutely not!" I was stunned when the judge turned to my husband and said "WHY NOT SIR"!! He was sunk!!! John asked him about the money he hid in his mother's bank acct and if my name was on it when it was in that acct or when he moved to a money market at credit union and then if my name was on any of the savings accts etc. He had to answer No to every question cause he never let me have my name on on acct and forced me to get a loan on a life ins policy and to get cr cards etc. John knew the right order to ask the questions! Then John went over how much money he took out of savings accts and had in his house that he does not list anymore. He made him give an accounting of it. John went at him with "You were out living high on the hog and taking vacations while she was skimping along and having to charge stuff. You admit that she did not have credit card debt before you left her. But you do not think she should have her cr cards paid off with marital debt." I amazed at the way John set that up too. Then it was time to break for lunch and the judge took the lawyers in back room and told them she had already decided how to rule. She said that I get half of everything including the inheritance. She had not heard all of my husband's testimony and none of mine and she was so disgusted with my husband that she decided that I get half of even the inheritance! Imagine if she had heard the rest of my husband's testimony and then mine!! John did a GREAT JOB!!!!! When his lawyer was questioning him and he said he was never violent and here the judge had an assualt and battery police report sitting right there in front of her and knew he was lying about that. John pointed out that my husband told things one way in his interrogatories and another way in his deposition and now was telling them a third way in the trial. It was great. We knew already the judge will not believe my husband on anything and John made it so his lawyer no longer has anything to come at me about. I was amazed at how John could set things up to show what a liar and what a control freak my husband was. John is worth every penny. The mediator told me "Everyone knows that John cannot be beat in a trial but he does not come cheap." I tried to tell my husband all along that he had hired an incompetent lawyer who was only out for the money he could make being paid by the hour. He told me all the through the marriage that I did not deserve a thing and last year this time he was telling me I would not get half. I told him he was in for a big shock. He not only found out I was right on that but that he was wrong to treat me
