No apologies accepted!

He ignored my calls when my husband took my kids to Florida and wouldn’t let me talk to them or see them for four months. He did nothing when my husband had a tractor trailer delivered to our storage building and loaded up whatever he wanted and took everything to California. He never met with me eve...n one time before the first divorce/custody hearing where he had me sign documents on the way into court and said they were typical financial forms. He apologized as we walked into court because he had back surgery and a trial starting in two days. The only thing he did was deposit the $10,000 retainer and then drop me as a client for asking him why he apologized. He told me I had to sign the agreement he had already worked out with my husband’s attorney to take my kids to California. He told me I had no other choice. I was in shock. My husband had been arrested for assaulting me in front of my kids and I had been the primary caregiver and had no allegations of abuse or neglect and a completely clean record. My husband was the top producer at Ministry and the Guardian ad Litem worked for the law firm who did our wills and trusts and my husband went to dinner with the partner regularly. My husband had his record wiped clean and all of my complaints were ignored. Jarabek dropped me as a client when I asked him why he apologized. He did nothing but complain about me in the hallway before court and the agreement he told me I had no other choice and had to sign made my entire custody case impossible to recover from. It took me five months to find an attorney who would take my case. Three attorneys told me that Jarabek should be facing malpractice charges. He failed me miserably against a man who only cared about money and lied and made false reports to the social worker who didn’t stop to consider my husband’s agenda since he was a well known doctor and member of every board he could sit on.

Unprofessional and vulgar

I went to see Gregory Jerabek for a free consultation on a family matter. Every other word was a curse word, he sat and vaped through the entire conversation, insulted his clients, and I listened to him stroke his ego the whole time and brag about how much money he pays his ex in child support a year.... The little "knowledge" he shared regarding custody and child support was inaccurate and false, which I confirmed through another attorney and with the court. After patting himself on the back for 45 minutes, he wrapped it up by saying, "The only way you can fix this is by going back in time and not having a kid with a loser. My advice to you is to not have kids with a loser." If you need a family lawyer, don't bother with Gregory. Very unprofessional.

Couldn't have hoped for better, By Far the Best!!!

Attorney Jerabek was absolutely wonderful!! Very honest and personable. Spoke to me as if he were a long time friend of mine. He told me exactly what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to here. He didn't sugar coat anything. Which I really appreciated. My child custody case was very sensitive and it... was extremely important to me to have the best of the best on my team. Greg was exactly what I was looking for and absolutely positively exactly what my daughter needed. The overall outcome I could not have been more thankful and happy for. If I ever need legal help again, I defiantly know who I will be calling. If you are in need of a TOP NOTCH attorney I strongly recommend using Greg Jerabek.
