Aggressive, skilled, and great results!

Ms. Tuzinski represented me for my divorce. She and her staff were extremely helpful and responsive to my needs during a difficult transition. Her communication is clear and timely and she answered my calls and emails quickly. She secured a fair settlement and helped immensely. I highly recommend... Ms. Tuzinski.

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!

Trustworthy, Reliable, and Knowledgable

I have worked with Jeanette to help navigate 2 family members divorce cases. She was both kind and understanding during both cases, and always took the time to explain each step of the process. She really fought for what was in the best interest of our family and was not willing to let the other pa...rties drag things out. She always took our phone calls, and responds to emails very quickly. She also has a great sense of humor to help navigate this difficult and emotional time. We never felt like she was giving us the run around. I would recommend her to anyone, and I loved working with her. She really made the process easy and understood our emotions throughout. She truly cares about each case.

Most trustworthy lawyer

Jeanette is the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, and communicable lawyer I've worked with over the years. Jeanette is very professional, always follows through with what she says she will do, is very responsive to any questions you may have. She will not lead you the wrong way as she is very honest... and will inform you of any and all consequences regarding your situation. There is a lot of stress when a person is going through Divorce, Separation or Bankruptcy, I know first hand, and Jeanette was always there to explain things in a calm manner that "things will be ok, you don't have to worry, I will take care of it for you". She makes the legal process a very comfortable feeling!

Terrific Divorce Attorney

Ms. Tuzinski, represented me through a difficult divorce that rendered much sensitivity. She was a voice for me when I felt I did not have one. Ms. Tuzinski's bold personality and knowledge of the law processes are a winning combination. If you are in need of someone to stand in your corner to hel...p you through a difficult battle of divorce or seperation, Ms. Tuzinski is my recommendation for you.
