Zorka Ristanovic

I highly recommend Zora. My divorce lasted three years and involved complex financial, legal, and emotional issues. Throughout the process, she was knowledgeable, strategic, and compassionate. She explained difficult legal issues clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and was always well pr...epared. Her calm, steady guidance helped me navigate one of the most challenging times in my life. I always felt she had my best interests in mind and was a strong advocate for me. I am truly grateful for her professionalism and dedication, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone facing a complex divorce.

My worst experience out of four divorce attorneys. I hired Zorka to handle my divorce case in April of 2013. She scheduled the trial date for September 24. Two months before the trial on July 20th she decided to quit on me. The reason stated was that we disagree about the strategy. I kind of begged h...er to stay on the case since there was not enough time to find somebody else and I have no disagreement about the strategy, but this did not help. My guess is that she thought she can settle the case, but when she saw that this is not possible she did not want to go to trial. Her quitting the case also looked very bad since my ex was claiming that I hide money so one can conclude that my lawyer agrees with this. Just before quitting she asked me for all kind of documents like tax returns prior to 7 years ago. When I told her that we need a vocational expert to prove that I can't find a better job, instead of suggesting one, she asked me who do I suggest. When I told her that I canceled my ex's health insurance because I didn't have money to pay for it, she quite rudely said "Let's be honest, you didn't cancel her insurance because you didn't have money to pay for it, but because you were mad that she cleared your common bank account". I should have fired her right then, but I didn't. She is very expensive on top of all previous said. Thank God that she quit on me though. I found an excellent attorney that helped me straighten out the mess my previous three attorneys including Zorka put me in. Had I go to trial with Zorka as my representative it would be a disaster I feel.
