Very helpful

I needed a lawyer for issues regarding child custody and everything that goes along with it. Jeanette was very helpful and made everything easy to understand. Jeanette got me everything I asked for. She is a great lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone one of my family members or friends.

Trusted Divorce Attorney

I had counseled with several other attorneys prior to my initial consultation with Ms. Tuzinski. I was immediately impressed with Jeanette's knowledge, confidence, & genuine empathy, and I did not hesitate to retain her services. I was referred to Jeanette through my employer's Employee Assistance... Program which provided me with a free consultation and a reduced fee structure. I had also received positive recommendations from two other professional acquaintances which solidified my decision in utilizing Jeanette's expertise. My divorce situation was complicated, and traditional spousal maintenance and settlement agreements required a creative approach which would not jeopardize my then spouse's medical assistance benefits. She was able to navigate the legal challenges without difficulty or hesitation. Her professionalism resulted in the court's approval of my judgement and decree without a court appearance, clarification, or modification becoming necessary. I am relieved that Ms Tuzinski was my legal representative. I would encourage you to retain her services while you have time, and most definitely, before your spouse tries to do the same.

Jeanette is awesome!

I recently hired Jeanette for my child custody case. In dealing with something that is emotional and uncomfortable, she was able to make things as easy and problem free as possible. She was always easy to get a hold of and answered my questions quickly and knowledgeably. She was professional but als...o friendly. Even though it's a tough situation to be in, having Jeanette next to me made me feel like it would be OK and we even had a few laughs along the way.

Would hire again

When I came to the difficult decision to divorce my now ex wife last year I came to avvo.com to find a reputable attorney considering I knew that my ex was going to be playing dirty. I consulted and contacted 3 different attorneys to decide who I could afford and who was also knowledgeable with the s...ituation I was about to deal with. One was knowledgeable but far out of what I could afford. One didn't seem to care. Then I called Jeanette. She made me feel like I could trust her (especially with my trust being very low this is big for me). She gave me advice about things I should AND should not do. I had about as good of an outcome as I could ask for considering my ex would have dragged our case out until I was bankrupt. Some things went how i hoped and some didn't. But when does a divorce go how you would like? I have kept Jeanette in my contacts for future advice and representation. I would definitely go to Jeanette if you need someone who knows what she's doing but not kill you in the pocketbook when it's over. Thank you Jeanette.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
