Jeanette Tuzinski

Jeanette has helped me on more than one occasion with my custody case. She's very professional and good at what she does. I've referred her to family members too.

Down to earth, Very knowledgeable & Always available for me!!

I called Jeannette when I was served papers from my Ex-husband stating he was suing me for not complying to part of our divorce from over 10 years ago ~ Our kids were now adults and I was re-married. He was actually suing me for his portion of the equity in my home OR for me to "write-off" his child... support arrears that he still owed from years ago. He bullied me with his big-shot attorney and I was scared. I called Jeannette, since she handled my parent's divorce years ago; I recalled meeting her & thought she was great back then... Well she stood up for ME this time & fought for me when I couldn't. We saved my house AND my child support arrears! She returned all of my phone-calls & e-mails, never made me feel like I was a pain - even when I KNOW I was (lol!) and she followed through the to very end until I collected every penny of support from the Ex. I would very highly recommend her for divorce and/or any family court matters. I fully intend to hire her for my next divorce! lol!

Lawyer you can trust

When I first met Jeanette, I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation. She carefully listened and took actions right on. Jeanette evaluated the whole case and advised me on the things were important to focus on, not only for the sake of my case but also for the sake of my personal and emotio...nal health. going through a custody battle can consume you a lot, but having Jeanette as a Lawyer I was able to feel peace knowing that I was in good hands. Having a case on a tough County that fairly support women, Being myself a Latino going against a White woman and having 4 kids with 3 girls, I felt I had lost my case from the start...we were going against all Odds, but having Jeanette as a good lawyer you can trust, I was able to win the case and get sole custody of my kids! Thank you Jeanette!

Reliable Family Law Attorney

I’m very pleased with the representation that Jeanette Tuzinski provided during a family law case that was being made difficult and complicated by the opposing side. Jeanette Tuzinski was successful in achieving a fair settlement for me. Jeanette Tuzinski has the needed experience and history deal...ing with cases in Anoka County and others. I’ve adopted Tuzinski & Zick as my primary source for help with any future legal matters.

Ms. Tuzinski Helped Me with a Final Settlement

I began working with Ms. Tuzinski in late 2008. Over the time since then she helped me develop a strategy as my career wound down, and ultimately negotiate a reasonable final divorce settlement, which took effect in September, 2014. She is excellent at knowing the courts, judges, attorneys in the a...rea, and how to construct a legal strategy.
