Jeannette Cecelia Zissis

I worked with Jeanette during my divorce in 2017 and again in 2025 for a maintenance negotiation. If you find yourself needing an attorney (and trust me—it’s worth the investment), Zissis Law will advocate for you on every level. Jeanette is knowledgeable, experienced, and a straight shooter. Be p...repared to do your part and provide the details and framework needed to truly partner with her throughout the process. Her expertise lays a strong foundation for achieving the best possible outcome. Choose Zissis Law and trust the process.

Jeannette handled my divorce, and then pursued my ex when he didn't want to pay support. She is smart and forceful and also kind and compassionate. She was thorough and always returned my calls and helped calm me down. In addition to being an excellent attorney, she is a wonderful person who litera...lly saved me and my kids lives! I would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer!!

Jeannette took over my case after my first lawyer soaked me for over $20K and nothing to show. Jeannette stepped in and got the ball rolling. She didnt go in all guns ablazing she came up with solid plans, put together the facts, and succeeded in court. She has an outstanding rapport with the judges ...because they know she comes prepared and doesnt play games. She has morals, something you dont find in lawyers. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeannette Zissis she is an A+ divorce lawyer and she'll be dedicated to your case! I am a father with sole custody of my children. With all of the hoops I was put through by my ex, Jeannette was able to cut through her crap and shut her down.

This woman was recommended by a male friend. She did his divorce 20+ years ago. I am very articulate. I told her upfront what my case is about and what I was looking to do and in what time frame. We met for a consultation. Most attorneys offered free consultations. She charged $250. I was hesitant ...but if I hired her, I knew it would go toward the retainer. So after I started talking about my case...she started saying all this strange comments - like she never heard what I said before. This was after a very detailed email by me. She had a tone of being accusatory ... like I'm a criminal. She kept saying, I don't work with clients who do this, or who do that, etc. Like she only wanted to take on cases that were amicable and very, very simple. But charging premium prices. I'm a professional woman who was married to a sociopath. I was looking for someone to watch my back...not accuse me. Then I catch her rolling her eyes at me and then she LIED about doing so! I told her upfront this was a timely issue. She then began saying she couldn;t touch my case for two months, blah, blah, blah. I asked her why she didn;t tell me that up front BEFORE i made the appt. BEFORE i handed her a check for $250 which she asks for upfront, by the way. And she didn't respond. What this person did do, was cash my check (a single mother with very little income) and THEN send me an email about how she didn't think she'd be a good fit for me. To me, there is no integrity nor honor with this person. Stay away.

I had to go through 3 attorneys in a divorce and custody case who's main concern was how much they could bill you. Two were big firms and one independent. I thank God i was referred to Jeannette Zissis. As a father going through a divorce with a young child it is a very stressful and emotional ti...me. Jeannette really cares about you,she is compassionate, listens to your thoughts and concerns. She will advise you of your options or course of action that can be taken and what she thinks is best. You will decide how to proceed. If she doesn't agree and thinks it will harm you,she will let you know but also explain why it's not in your or your child's best interests. If you are a father with a child in divorce court you are at a disadvantage. Jeannette has the experience in divorce court to help you get a better outcome, she helped me get joint custody. Jeannette will fight for you and isn't afraid to go up against any lawyer.
