Yikes

Mrs. Jakusz puts on her own Jerry Springer show in the court room. She has zero class & is very rough around the edges.

A very competent Attorney

Dana has been a beacon of hope to my children and me when hope seemed lost. Not only will she fight for you she is an extremely competent attorney. Dana, you have restored my faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Ms. Jakusz. If you need a bulldog attorney she is the one.

Child custody

My daughter was referred to Ms. Jakusz. She was charged 150.00 for the consultation. My daughter tried to explain her situation, and was not able to explain herself, to Ms. Jakusz when she was immediately cut off. So basically this lawyer was not able to help her with situation.

Run from this woman… If there was a zero rating I would give it

This woman is representing my husband in a very contentious custody situation(he was fired by the first two lawyers) and I have to say she is the most unprofessional woman I have ever seen in court. She is downright embarrassing and makes a complete full of herself. She is an embarrassment to women. ... It is disgusting to see any woman represent a man who it has been well documented is a domestic violence abuser. Shame on you Dana, This is why the Family Court fails domestic violence victims and their children… Hope she never has to go through this herself

Wonderful Child Advocate and Family Law attorney

I have worked with Dana J. as a client since 2019. She has made the biggest difference in my case. She is a strong advocate for her clients. As a mom herself she understands parenting related concerns and how to advocate for children. She is tough in court but also very easy to talk to. If you hire h...er- you will not be disappointed! -R
