James Anthony Podgorny

Throughout my divorce and after, Jim always suggested ways to handle the case and was straight forward with me. For some this may not be important but he was always kind, compassionate and understanding with what was going on in this very difficult time for me. He was very knowledgeable with case ...law and always presented our case professionally. He does his homework and it shows. I’ve referred him to a couple of people with everyone having a similar experience as I did.

This guy is terrible. He screwed up my divorce so bad that I had to fire him in court and find myself a more competent attorney. That was easy since nobody is as bad as he is. All he was worried about is his retainer. Every time we go to court things were just getting worse. When I asked him why, he ...tells me that's the way the judge decided. Most of the time things were handled in the chamber of the court room and I had no clue what is going on in there. Jim always came out with more bad news until I hired the new attorney and things were turning around for me. Best move I ever made in my 4 year divorce. Turned out great for me!

I hired attorney Podgorny for my divorce. He was very understanding of my financial situation and reduced his rate from $350.00 per hour to $200.00 per hour. He kept me up to date on all matters and even let me know when it was necessary or not necessary for me to be in court. He carefully explain...ed his strategy toward the case and was even accurate in stating we would "win some of the battles and lose some of the battles of the case, but the idea was to win the overall war." He was always prompt to court, knew the law and remained professional in and out of the court room. When the case was finished, he kept his word and refunded the unused money in my retainer. I highly recommend him.
