Saved me thousands $

After being sentenced to 4 months at a halfway house, I soon realized that I would be required to pay 25% of my gross earnings per pay period (regardless of pre-existing financial responsibilities) despite having to already pay $750 a month for child support. That amounted to nearly $1,200 per month ...of subsistence payments going to the halfway house before any deductions. This put me and my family in an extreme financial hardship, to say the very least; and added to the stress of already being convicted. Justyna did an amazing job at writing up a motion to have my subsistence payments waived. I had been warned not to get my hope high, that getting subsistence payments waived was very rare. It took the Judge less than 5 minutes to decide to waive my payments. I can tell you this, after going through what I went through, the last 4 years. This was the "light at the end of that cold dark tunnel". Thank you again Justyna. You were very detail oriented and covered even the smallest expenses when you reviewed out financial statements. Forever grateful, Juan & Family

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
