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

Esquire Extraodinaire

I have had the great opportunity to work with Jeanette in several capacities both professional and personal. Nearly 15 years ago I was employed by Tuzinski & Zick, LLC as an Office Assistant for several years. It was a wonderful work environment and they were excellent employers. Throughout the ye...ars, I have recommended their services to my friends and colleagues. I have heard nothing but wonderful things regarding their representation as well as the favorable outcomes. Recently, I was faced with a contentious divorce and sought Jeanette’s council. She did an exceptional job my case! From taking a complex trial on short notice, to negotiating a beyond satisfactory resolution with less than ideal opposing council. I was truly grateful for her representation. She was instrumental in making a very difficult situation tolerable and perhaps funny at times. Thank you!

Excellent Divorce Attorney

I'm a father of 3 and retained Jeannette to represent me in a divorce. Jeannette helped guide me through a very stressful period of my life. She provided excellent legal guidance, was prompt in answering questions and helped get me a very fair arrangement in my divorce. I would recommend her services... to any dad out there.

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 - 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!!!!
