Tuzinski & Zick Law firm

I have use Jeanette Tuzinski Of Tuzinski & Zick five times over the years, she has been a professional from Start to Finish. In my opinion she is one of the best. I am so happy with her work, she comes out as a little firecracker, I leave her office saying she one lawyer knows what she is doing. She... can understand what I want and need to do. She tells me the good and the bad of the case. She tells me the right and wrong of what I am doing. I am a disable Vet and sometimes I get loopy with all my medication and she can control the situation. I consider her a great person to use and have told all my friends and peers to use her services. I am glad I have used her firm. She is a life saver. I plan to use her and firm for all my attorney needs Thank you

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.

Jeanette - my new best friend!

When I decided to divorce with two young children, I thought we would each hire attorneys and settle within a few months. My situation turned very scary very quickly and Jeanette has been there every step of the way to help me, listen to me, encourage me, and has fought for what's right for me and m...y children during the most horrible time in our lives. She has been able to navigate every road block and obstacle that my ex has attempted to use to stall and drag everything out. Jeanette does so very firmly, but not in a way that will aggravate the opposing side. For example, my ex was trying to keep the kids all to himself over Christmas since it fell on his weekend. Jeanette quickly scheduled a phone call with our Judge and opposing counsel to get things settled 3 days before Christmas! She answers every phone call and email very quickly and explains things in terms that you can easily understand. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority and will communicate her schedule, so you know when she will be available and when she will not be. It's been a little over 7 months and we are now officially divorced, but I know we still have quite the road ahead with finances and custody details to work out. I have the utmost confidence in Jeanette and after interviewing 3 attorneys last year, I am 200% confident in my decision to hire Jeanette to represent not only me, but my children as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeanette and would give her 10 stars on here if that was an option. I have said it one thousand times, and will probably say it one thousand more. Thank you so much Jeanette!!!!

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.

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.
